New Employee Onboarding Sequence
A done-for-you restaurant automation built for the HR Onboarding Coordinator, connecting Slack, Airtable, and Google Sheets so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Marking a new hire as accepted in the scheduling system automatically triggers a sequence covering onboarding paperwork, a copy of the training schedule for their first two weeks, and a request to the kitchen or front-of-house lead for uniforms and system access to be ready before day one.
The HR onboarding coordinator no longer has to remember which of a dozen steps still needs doing for each new hire, since every task fires automatically off the same trigger, and new employees consistently show up to their first shift with a badge, a login, and a uniform waiting instead of standing around while someone scrambles to sort it out.
- Scheduling software (e.g., 7shifts or When I Work)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Google Sheets or Airtable (aggregated dashboard)
- Slack (manager notifications)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Done by hand, this depends entirely on a hr onboarding coordinator remembering to check in, update records, and follow up, with no safety net if something slips.
With this automation
- Interview scheduling without email ping-pong
- New hire paperwork and account setup before day one
- Certification and license expiration alerts
- Timesheet and time-off workflows that route themselves
