A group chat is how many venues chase tasks today. It is quick to start, but a chat is a conversation, not a record. Here is how the two compare.
Opening soon · from €79 · per location ·no per-user fees
In Olia each shift has a fixed checklist with a clear done or not done state. In a chat, tasks are buried in messages.
Completions are timestamped and attributed, and can be exported as PDF or CSV. A chat history is not an inspection record.
Overdue actions and alerts surface what has not been done, instead of a manager asking in the group at closing time.
Staff use a shared tablet in the venue with a PIN. Nobody has to share a personal number or install an app.
Problems are flagged to a manager as part of the checklist instead of getting lost between photos and replies.
A dashboard shows compliance status across locations, filterable by concept and location, instead of one chat per site.
Everyone already has it, it is free and it is instant. For quick questions and shift swaps, a group chat is hard to beat, and Olia does not try to replace that.
A chat has no structure. There is no list of what must happen on every opening, no way to tell a task that was skipped from one nobody mentioned, and no clean record to show later.
Messages also mix work and personal life, scroll away quickly, and depend on a manager remembering to ask.
Most teams keep the chat for conversation and move the routine into Olia. The checklist becomes the source of truth, and the chat goes back to being a chat.
Olia is priced per location, not per user, so adding staff never costs extra. Starter plans begin at 79 euros per location per month, billed monthly with no long-term contract.
