Everything you need

Built for the day-to-day of a restaurant, with no filler features.

Direct, groups and board

A one-to-one with a colleague, a group per section or shift, and a board that managers write to and the whole organization reads.

You know if it was read

In direct chats every message goes through sent, delivered and read. On the board you see how many people on the team have seen it.

Timed edit and retract

Fifteen minutes to fix a typo, three to retract a message, and only the person who wrote it. Nobody deletes what someone else wrote.

You decide who writes

The organization opens direct chats to everyone, to managers only, or between managers only. Groups and the board are created by whoever holds that permission.

What you can do, in detail

No smoke: this is what the module does today, exactly as you'll find it inside.

One-to-one direct chats with an organization policy: everyone, only with managers, or managers only
Named groups: create, rename, add or remove people and leave, with every change written into the thread
Organization-wide board: owner and managers post, everyone else reads, with a seen count
Live: messages arrive on their own, green presence dot, typing indicator and an unread counter across the app
Reply by quoting the previous message, copy the text, and search the conversation list
Attachments: up to 5 files per message, 10 MB each, images and PDF, in private storage
