What is the Daily Guide in Axial Shift?
Short answer
The Daily Guide is each manager's shift-by-shift playbook, and it's included in the Axial Platform. Checklists, timed tasks, break reminders and live sales-and-labor pacing sit on one screen, so managers always know what needs to happen next.
What's in it
- Checklists and tasks that go out by role and time of day
- Plan versus actual sales and labor, updated up to the minute
- A task for the manager when sales or labor drift off plan
- Reminders before breaks come due
- A manager log book, sent as a nightly email
Pre-shift, on the record
- See when pre-shift was completed, for each shift and location.
- See what each pre-shift covered, including focus areas, so leaders can follow up.
- Completion reporting shows which checklists and tasks were done, when, and how long they took.
- Above-store leaders compare locations and spot overdue work from the same view the store manager sees.
Why it matters
Instead of jumping between reports, managers see the shift's priorities in one place and leaders can see that the work actually happened.
