Milk Run · Toronto and the GTA

Clear handoffs
between cafe shifts.

A free cafe workflow program for independent cafes. Staff record what happened, a manager reviews the next actions, and open issues stay visible for the next shift.

In development and internal testing. Access is approved after a walkthrough.

Who it's for

For the things that get lost between shifts.

A good fit for independent cafes in Toronto and the GTA with recurring handoff problems and a manager who can review the next actions.

What your cafe provides

  • One handoff workflow to examine
  • One manager reviewer
  • Approved examples or notes
  • Time for a short team walkthrough

What's included

One handoff your team can follow.

01

A mapped process

What staff record, who reviews it and who owns the next action.

02

A tested review path

An agreed way to capture information, review it and carry open items forward.

03

A short operating guide

Instructions for the approved team and a review of what to improve next.

Current limits

Shift handoffs are the current focus. POS, purchasing, reservations, sales, tip tracking and public self-signup are not included in this program. Milk Run does not automatically contact staff, suppliers, customers or repair providers.

How to get started

Walk through it before joining.

  1. 01

    Book a walkthrough

    Show us the handoff that gets missed and how the team handles it now.

  2. 02

    Agree the first workflow

    Choose the information, reviewer, access boundaries and measures for learning.

  3. 03

    Invite and review

    Approved participants join for free, learn the process and review what needs to change.

Illustrative example, not a client result

A closing note flags an equipment issue. The manager records an owner and next action. The opening team sees what still needs attention.

Review handoff preparation time, open items without an owner and missing details. These are learning measures, not promised results.

Yes. Milk Run is free for participating independent cafes. There is no subscription or billing for the current program. We agree on scope, responsibilities, and next steps before anything begins.
