Running a small cafe means being the owner, the manager, the scheduler, and the accountant — sometimes all before 9am. The Cafe Ops Starter Kit gives you five practical Excel tools built specifically for independent cafes with small teams, so you can stop relying on memory and start running your shifts on a system.

What's in the kit: Shift Leak Tracker — spot coverage gaps and cash discrepancies before they cost you. Shift Handover Tracker — keep every shift change documented, accountable, and clean. Availability Change Tracker — confirm every last-minute schedule change before the shift starts. Cash Close-Out Template — denomination-by-denomination close routine with auto-reconciliation. Coverage & Cash Planner — your 18-minute weekly ops setup.

All five tools work in Excel and Google Sheets. No formulas to build. No ongoing costs. Instant download. Built for cafes with 3–15 staff who are still running operations from notebooks, WhatsApp, and memory.

What's included: 5 Excel files (.xlsx), all Google Sheets compatible, 113 pre-built formulas, conditional colour-coding throughout, sample data and field guides included, instant download after purchase.
