Glow Restaurant: restaurant staff management on WhatsApp

Happy kitchen, happy guests.

The problem in restaurant

High staff turnover in kitchens and front of house
Last-minute no-shows before a busy service
Waiters and chefs on different shifts never see the same notice board

How Glow helps

Fun, themed WhatsApp staff check-ins (no 1–5 scores)
Sick and late notices land with the manager in one tap
Send menu changes or specials to the whole team privately

Every Glow Restaurant team gets WhatsApp staff check-ins, an anonymous 5-measure employee wellbeing pulse, private one-to-many messaging, a staff display and tools for shift workers (shifts, sick and late). See all features or how it works.

A Glow check-in, Restaurant style

Glow never asks blunt questions like "rate your shift 1–5". It asks something fun that fits your world, and maps the answer to the energy measure of the anonymous pulse.

How was your shift? 🥩
Rare / Medium / Well done / Overdone

Example WhatsApp messages

Glow Restaurant FAQ

Do waiters need a smartphone app?

No. Glow works in normal WhatsApp, so there is nothing to install.

Can it handle split shifts?

Yes. Managers can post shifts and staff confirm or swap on WhatsApp.

Is Glow POPIA compliant?

Glow is built for POPIA: consent first, anonymous pulse results, and the right to opt out by replying STOP.

Do staff need to install anything?

No. Glow runs inside normal WhatsApp.
