Communication complete at Beachside. Follow-through still needs attention there.
Thursday’s close check found the heads still wiped in place. Sam Ortiz flagged why: the outdoor bar’s soda guns have fixed heads.

Visibility
See what changed. See what still needs follow-through.
Follow each change from approval to the floor: who has seen it, who has finished the refresher and what is blocked.
- Acknowledgments and refreshers by role and location
- Manager checks on shift
- Blocked steps, with the reason
An acknowledgment isn’t proof of execution.
Managers still observe on the floor; Trensli keeps the evidence visible.

Ask Trensli
Answers without hunting down the one person who knows.
Employees and managers ask in plain language and get an answer from your approved material, with the source.
For allergens and safety, Ask Trensli returns your approved text word for word. With no approved answer, it says so and sends the person to the manager on duty.
Ask Trensli
Server · DowntownYes. The house ranch contains dairy (buttermilk) and egg. It is not dairy-free. For a guest with a dairy allergy, offer the house vinaigrette.
There’s no approved answer for this yet. Please check with the manager on duty, Sam Ortiz.
