Guide
WhatsApp runs the shift. Grade if that still works.
Hotels, restaurants, and multi-site hospitality live in personal WhatsApp groups. When a manager leaves, the history leaves with the phone. Grade company chat for this kind of team, then send the poster.
The WhatsApp default
No new app, no seats, numbers everyone has. That is why FOH and night shifts stay there. The failure mode is one personal phone holding last month’s shift chat.
When a company-owned chat wins
Joiners and leavers every season, multiple sites, or a complaint that needs a record. Simplicity still matters. Agents and laptop-only tools usually lose.
Work boards and CRM (second)
Reservations and site tasks are not Jira. Grade chat first. Then grade work management if you want the full poster.
Run the quiz for this company
Answer sites, phones, and how people talk today. Send the poster to the GM who still thinks WhatsApp is fine.
