Most cafe owners find out about a bad shift after the fact — a drawer that's short, a lunch rush nobody covered, a no-show that turned into a queue out the door. By then, the damage is done.

The Cafe Shift Leak Tracker gives you a 60-second end-of-shift habit that makes patterns visible before they become losses. One row per shift. Log who showed, who didn't, whether the till matched, and what needs to happen next. The tracker auto-flags coverage gaps in red and summarises your week automatically — so you're reviewing a pattern, not just a bad day.

Works in Excel and Google Sheets. No formulas to set up. Open it and start filling it in.

What's included: 1 Excel file (.xlsx), 30 rows of daily shift logging, auto-calculated weekly summary (total gaps, cash variance, shifts recorded), colour-coded coverage gap flags (green/red auto), compatible with Google Sheets.
