Docu-Coach is the system of record for restaurant and hospitality employee documentation. Managers capture incidents, coaching, attendance, and positive feedback by voice on the floor. AI polish turns that audio into structured, contemporaneous records with timestamps, policy references, and an audit trail.

**Tagline:** If it isn't documented, it didn't happen.

## Who it is for

Owners, general managers, MODs, and shift leads in restaurants, bars, hotels, and multi-unit hospitality groups. Docu-Coach does not replace payroll or an HRIS. It is the documentation layer—incidents, coaching, write-ups, investigations, and personnel-file timelines.

## How it works

1. One tap starts a voice capture from a phone browser or the iPhone app.
2. Audio is transcribed. AI polish converts it into a professional, factual incident or coaching record.
3. The entry is tagged to an employee (or saved Unassigned mid-rush and routed later).
4. HR, GMs, and area directors search a full history across managers and locations.

Quick logs also cover common events: late to work, no-call/no-show, and called in sick.

## Problems it solves

1. **Managers don't document** — They are busy. Capture takes about ten seconds.
2. **Documentation disappears** — Texts, paper, notebooks, and Google Docs become a scavenger hunt. The record follows the employee, not the manager.
3. **Every manager coaches differently** — Shared structure and conduct standards reduce unfairness and legal exposure.
4. **HR hears about it too late** — Patterns surface in the HR Center before they become expensive.
5. **History has to be reconstructed** — Contemporaneous timestamps and original audio replace reconstructed timelines.

## FAQ

### How much does Docu-Coach cost for a restaurant?

Docu-Coach starts at $50/month, which includes the first 50 employees and one location. Additional employees are $1 per employee per month above the first 50, and additional locations are $25/month each. Hospitality Group Pricing adds dedicated onboarding, handbook guidance uploads, team permissions, admin controls, integration planning, and custom operating support for $100 more per month. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial with no charge until day 31.

### Will Docu-Coach records hold up in an unemployment hearing or legal dispute?

Docu-Coach produces contemporaneous records with timestamps, neutral factual language, severity tied to written conduct standards, original audio on file, and a per-incident audit trail. No software can guarantee a legal outcome, and Docu-Coach is not a substitute for advice from employment counsel.

### What's the best way to document employee incidents in a restaurant?

Document in the moment, in neutral language, with specifics: who, what, when, where, and witnesses. The biggest failure point is having no time mid-service. Docu-Coach uses 10-second voice capture from the floor; AI polish converts it into a structured incident record.

### How long does it take to set up Docu-Coach?

Most restaurants are capturing incidents the same day they sign up. Add locations and roster, then open Docu-Coach in a phone browser or the iPhone app.

### Does Docu-Coach work for multi-location restaurant groups?

Yes. Multi-location filtering, group reporting, HR Center workflows, PIP drafts, follow-up queues, and exports are included. Additional locations are $25/month each. Hospitality Group Pricing adds the high-touch operating layer.

### Can I try Docu-Coach before paying?

Yes. The core plan starts with a 30-day free trial. No charge until day 31, and you can cancel anytime.
