Cleaning rota
Tonight’s run with the daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tiles, signed off per job per person.
In development
Every record an officer asks for, kept the way they ask for it.
Good Bar Management is a compliance app for UK licensed premises — refusals, opening and closing checks, the cellar, cleaning, incidents, training and the licence itself. It is being built now. Nothing is on sale.

- Driven by your own premises licence
- Writes to the device first, so it works with no signal
- Registers you can strike through, never delete

Said plainly and said early, because a status is a record too.

TBC
About the screens on this page. They are captured from the real build, but the pub is The Red Lion — a demonstration venue with sample records. Dawn Whelan, Marek Zielinski and the rest are not real people, and no entry shown is a real refusal, reading or incident.
What it keeps
Six registers it is built around.
The words inside the quote marks are the app’s own, lifted off the screen beside them. That voice is as much the product as the records are.
The record police and licensing ask for by name.
What was refused, why, the ID shown, a description, and who refused it — logged in under a minute at the point it happens. An entry can be struck through with a reason. It can never be quietly deleted, because a register you can hide rows from is worth nothing.
Appeared under 25 and could not produce acceptable ID · Already showing signs of intoxication · Photo driving licence did not match the person
On screen in the app
A guided walk, one check at a time, built from your own licence.
Not a generic checklist. The premises licence goes in once as a readable document and the checks come out of it — the Challenge 25 signage check exists because your licence says it must. Once it is signed the ticks lock, and notes stay open.
The ticks and the signature are locked. Notes stay open — tap any check above to add or change one.
On screen in the app
Weeks of readings, and an honest word about what they mean.
Every reading is dated, placed and judged against the band, building a trend rather than a pass mark. The app is careful about which numbers are law and which are not. The 14-point gas walk-round sits on the same screen with a named sign-off.
The 11–13°C band is brewery guidance about cask beer quality, not a legal limit. A warm cellar costs you a cask, not a prosecution.
On screen in the app
The gaps first, sorted by who would ask for them.
Licensing officer, police licensing, trading standards, fire authority — four people who walk in for four different reasons, each shown what they would ask for and whether it is there. Every line has a fix button. Nothing is scored.
This screen reports what is recorded in this app against what you entered from your licence. It is not legal advice.
On screen in the app
“Show me last Friday” answered in one screen.
The archive reads two ways. By register, when somebody wants the refusals or the cellar log as a PDF. By night, when the question is about a particular evening — and then every record from that night comes back in time order, refusals and incidents flagged on the date itself.
Friday 4 September · 1 refusal. Opening checks signed — Dawn Whelan, 9 ticked · 2 cleaning jobs marked done — Marek Zielinski
On screen in the app
Quick charts for the things that actually hurt people.
Cellar gas, beer line cleaning, acceptable ID and Challenge 25, drink spiking, refusing a drunk person. Each leads with the one fact you came for and names the law where there is one. Four double as a card-by-card team briefing that writes itself straight onto the training record.
Reference, not records — but every guide ends at the register its moment produces.
On screen in the app
The cellar gas guide
Do not go in to investigate, and do not send one person in alone. Get out, keep others out, ventilate from outside if you can do it without entering, and call the gas supplier. Every year somebody dies going in after a colleague.
That is the first thing the guide says — before the exposure limits, before anything else. It is the clearest illustration of how the whole app is written: the fact you came for, first; the law named where there is law; and no hedging.
Everything else
And the rest of the file.
All of it written and working in the build these screens came from. None of it available to buy.
Training
A coverage grid of who is trained on what, and it names the gap: “no age-verification training on record — the one a test purchase turns on.”
Door staff
The SIA badge file, flagging an expiry 38 days out because renewals take weeks.
Personal licences
Who can authorise a sale, cross-checked against the DPS your licence names.
Risk assessments
The register with review dates, and which staff were told what each one found.
Bookings
Tonight’s running order — what has landed, what is next, and where the gaps are.
Staff rota
A tap-to-edit week of day, night and close, warning when nobody owns the lock-up.
Drinks and menus
What you sell, at what strength and price, with allergens — and a printable menu built from it.
Notice board
Pinned notices that record who has actually seen them.
The records drawer
117 records on file, struck entries kept, each drawer one tap from a PDF on your own letterhead.

Pair 1 of 5: Cleaning rota and Training
An officer at the bar
One tap publishes a read-only page of the records and shows a QR code, so they read it on their own phone. It is deliberately careful with the refusals register: descriptions of refused people are shown on request, never left sitting on a link.

One email when there is something to try. And one honest question, because the answers shape what gets built.
No price has been set and no date has been fixed. If either changes, the people on this list hear before the website does.
