## Sound familiar?

### The close that wasn’t

“Machine cleaned, fridges wiped, till counted.” Then the opener finds the steam wand caked. A ticked box is not proof.

### Schedules in a group chat

Student baristas swap shifts in a text thread, someone misses the message, and Saturday opens one person short.

### Out of oat milk at 8 a.m.

Counts live on a clipboard, orders go out late, and the most-ordered drink is the one you can’t make.

## A day at your café on Mays

1. **6 a.m.** **Open** The opener clocks in at the door and works through the opening checklist. Photos of the pastry case and the espresso setup go straight to the manager.
2. **7:30 a.m.** **Rush** The schedule matches the morning rush. A barista who can’t make it offers the shift in the app, and a teammate picks it up.
3. **11 a.m.** **Count** Milk, beans and cups are counted on the phone by scanning or speaking. What’s running low shows before it runs out.
4. **2 p.m.** **Train** A new hire watches the seasonal drink video and takes the quiz between customers.
5. **6 p.m.** **Close** The closing checklist asks for a photo of the cleaned machine. Mays’ AI checks it, and the next opener sees exactly what was done.

### Team chat

A chat per café and per team, with photos, so the group text can retire.

### Fridge temperature alerts

A connected sensor turns a warm milk fridge into a task for whoever is on shift.

## Questions

### We are one small café. Is Mays too much for us?

No. Mays works for one location as well as for many. Start with the checklists and the schedule, and add the rest when you are ready.

### Do I pay for every employee?

No. Mays is one flat fee per location, never per user, so adding a new hire or a seasonal crew does not change the bill. The pricing page shows what each plan includes.

### Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Staff use the Mays app on iPhone or Android, managers can also work from a browser, and a shared tablet can be the store’s time clock.

### How do we get started?

Start a free pilot on one location. Add your team, pick the checklists you already run on paper, and the crew can be on Mays the same day.
