Your station sheet, set before the doors open.

The easiest start is a phone photo of last Saturday's station sheet. A floor plan, even the one in pencil, works too. Either way we need the room with its table numbers and a line around each station. A sheet shows the split for one server count; if you run others, for example 4, 6 and 8 servers, send a photo of those sheets too, or we will sort them out together. Drawn by hand, marked on a printout, or any way you already have it. It does not need to be neat. We keep your table numbers exactly as they are. Starting from scratch? We can suggest a numbering that reads easily around the room. Mention any patio or private room. One recent weekly schedule helps; initials instead of names are fine.

Your free sample is usually ready within a few days of getting your photo or floor plan. It comes as a private link that works for 14 days. Delivery follows once you approve it, and we tell you the date before you pay.

No. Keep both. StationSet reads the weekly schedule file you export from your scheduling system (a file with a name column and one column for each weekday; most teams share it in a group chat, so you just save it onto the computer), or you type the names, and turns each day's schedule into that day's sheet. If your system's file looks different, we adapt the import during setup. It does not take reservations, build schedules or run payroll.

Yes. Lunch or brunch is added as a second service on any plan: on the same day each service has its own sheet, record and table points, and one week's schedule file fills both (shifts before 3 pm are lunch, and you can change that). Open our Cedar & Salt sample to see lunch and dinner side by side. For a restaurant it is $30 a month more; setup is free when you start with both services, $395 if you add it later. Hotel outlets include every service. Tell us your lunch server counts and which part of the room you open, and we set it up before you go live.

Yes. Every floor, patio and private room is drawn from your plan, each level as its own panel, and every combination of open rooms gets its own station layouts. Our largest sample runs 20. Bigger rooms are built the same way, sized to your room, and we confirm the printed sheet in your free sample before you pay. That sample's Saturday puts 20 servers, 20 assistants and 52 support staff on one printed page. Up to 20 servers or two floors is the Full plan, $1,495 to set up and $99 a month; more than 20 servers or three floors is quoted, from $2,995, at $129 a month.

Each restaurant or outlet gets its own floor plan, password and record. Hotels pay per outlet: each restaurant, bar, lounge, pool bar or banquet room with its own floor plan is $995 to set up and $99 a month with every service included, 20% off each outlet's monthly from the third outlet, on one invoice, purchase orders welcome; an outlet over 12 servers or on two floors is quoted. 3 or more restaurants under one owner pay the card price for each; later restaurants of the same concept pay half the setup, each added restaurant is 20% off the monthly, and the group gets one invoice.

Closing the patio or private room for a service is one tap; each combination has its own layouts. Running more or fewer servers needs nothing from us: every server count up to your plan's limit already has its layout. For a lasting change: an extra room is from $400 depending on its size, and redrawing the room after a remodel (moved or renumbered tables) is $95 an hour. Each is quoted before any work starts.

Nothing beyond the month you are in. The monthly plan has no minimum term: stop when you like, and it ends at the end of the month you paid for. Save your records to a file first; the record is yours. And before you pay anything, you see your own room in a free sample.

On your own computer, and a copy is shared between your restaurant's computers automatically so every manager sees the same record. Before anything is shared it is scrambled on your computer with your restaurant's password. We keep your password only to set up and reset your page, and we never open your records unless you ask us to help. No sales, pay or guest data is ever collected, only the names on the schedule and the stations they worked.

Usually. StationSet loads only from stationset.com over a secure connection, uses no outside services, and sets no cookies. Some company filters block sites that are new or not yet categorized, or limit typing and downloads on them. If that happens, ask your IT team to allow stationset.com; we will send them a one-page note that answers their usual questions. On a phone with its own data connection it works without them.

Yes. Use Copy sheet to put the finished sheet, floor plan and teams, on your clipboard as a picture, then paste it into the team's group chat. Servers see exactly what is printed, on any phone, with nothing to install or sign in to.

Closing shifts come straight from your schedule (the CL on a shift). A closing server is paired with a closing assistant, and both are marked CL on the sheet. The closers are spread across the room, and when you rotate, the pairs stay together and stay apart from each other. If a closing server has no closing assistant, or the other way round, the checks tell you before you print.
