Manage projects, coordinate teams, and master your company with Basecamp.

Opening a restaurant

Opening night depends on dozens of things going right. Basecamp gives the kitchen, front of house, and managers one place for tasks, menus, and daily check-ins, so problems surface early instead of on opening night.

Olive & Ember keeps menu tastings and space details in Docs & Files and runs the kitchen and floor in Chat. To-dos split kitchen, floor, and opening week, the Schedule holds the friends and family dinner, and Automatic Check-ins ask what’s ready for opening night.
