Get TrueWork
Your crew rates each other. Anonymously. Once a week.

Their best, every shift.
Not just when you walk in.

The problem is not your workers. It's the system around them. In most stores, one person decides whose work counted, so people work to be seen by that one person. TrueWork has the whole crew rate each other, anonymously, once a week. When every shift is seen by the people who were actually there, nobody has to put on a show for the boss. They just work. You see the whole picture and make the calls.

Why it happens

The problem is not your workers.
It's the system they work in.

In almost every store, one person decides whose work counted: the owner, or the manager. So the smart move is not to do the work. It's to be seen doing it. Change who sees the work, and the behaviour changes on its own.

Today
YOU

One person decides what counted.

  • Work is noticed when the boss is in the room.
  • Being liked by that one person beats being good at the job.
  • The quiet ones carry the shift. The visible ones get the raise.
  • Everyone performs for an audience of one.

The floor gets political. Not because people are bad, but because that is what this system rewards.

With TrueWork

Everyone who was there decides.

  • Work is noticed on every shift, by the people beside you.
  • Being good at the job is the only way to be seen.
  • The quiet ones are finally on the record.
  • No one to perform for, so people just work.

The floor gets fair. Not because people changed, but because what counts changed.

What TrueWork is

Once a week, everyone on your crew rates the people they worked beside. Five taps, on their own phone, anonymously. Each person builds up a record over months. You see every record. Each person sees their own. Then you decide what to do about it: raises, who leads the shift, who trains the new hire. TrueWork never decides for you.

Won't this start drama?No one sees who said what, and one week on its own changes nothing. Only months of weeks count. There is nothing to fight over on a Tuesday.
Will my crew actually do it?It's five taps, less time than clocking in. And they protect the record, because it's theirs. In the stores running it, nobody has to be reminded.
Does it make the call for me?No. It shows you the pattern. What to do about it is your call, the same as it always was.
What about my managers?Rated by the people they manage, same as everyone else. That one change does more than any meeting.
From owners using it

Owners keep telling us the same eight things.

Donut shops, cafés, restaurants, retail. Different trades, different cities, and in the first few months the same eight changes, in roughly the same order. In their own words.

01“They work for their record now, not for me.”“The effort doesn't leave the building when I do. Every shift goes on the record, so every shift gets their best.”
02“They fix their own weak spots.”“A low number on cleaning gets fixed by the crew member. I never asked. I didn't have to.”
03“They guard that record like it's theirs. Because it is.”“They earned it, and they treat it like something worth protecting.”
04“Nobody puts on a show for me anymore.”“The people rating them are the people next to them, not the one signing the paycheck. The effort stopped following me around the store.”
05“My managers and crew got on the same page.”“Managers are rated by the people they manage. Same rules for everyone. The tone on the floor changed within a few weeks.”
06“The real leaders showed up.”“The one the crew rates highest is the one they actually follow. It wasn't the loudest voice.”
07“They started using the word ‘fair’.”“Same rules, same raters, same record for everyone. People notice when a place is fair, and they say so.”
08“Manager became a job, not a position above people.”“Nobody is above anyone now, so a title can't do the talking. That stopped a lot of things before they started.”

Which one are you?

Same app, two very different weeks. Pick yours and we'll show you how it looks from there.

How it works

Three things happen every week.

No setup on the floor. No new devices. The crew rates the people they worked beside, and over time a pattern builds that nobody can fake.

Once a week, five taps.

Everyone rates the people they worked beside on the things your store picked. Teamwork. Cleaning. Communication.

Nobody sees who said what.

Each person sees their own record. You see all of them. Nobody sees who gave what: not the crew, not the manager, not you. That is what keeps it honest.

You see the pattern months early.

Maria started slipping in week six, so you can ask what's wrong while she's still here. Without TrueWork you find out in month eight, when she quits.

70 seconds

The whole idea in 70 seconds.

One video for both sides. Show it to your crew. Show it to your manager.

  • ✓What owners miss when they're not on the floor
  • ✓How five taps a week turn into a record nobody can fake
  • ✓Why the record belongs to the worker, not the store

Four things that never change

Not a policy someone can revise later. This is how it is built.

✓Nobody ever sees who said what.Not the owner, not the manager, not TrueWork. Results appear only once enough people have rated, so no one can work back to a single rater.
✓Nobody is placed above or below anyone.It shows what happened. It doesn't decide who deserves what.
✓Only coworkers and managers rate.Never customers. Never one person's opinion.
✓The record belongs to the worker.They leave, it goes with them. Nobody can edit it, including us.
Getting started

Set up in one shift.

Nothing is installed in the store. Nothing changes on the floor. Three things happen, and then it runs on its own.

1Pick what matters in your store.Teamwork, cleaning, speed, communication: the few things you'd want every shift judged on. About ten minutes.
2Your crew downloads the app.Their own phones, five minutes, during a shift. Managers too, same rules as everyone.
3First ratings land this week.Five taps each. Over the next couple of months a pattern builds that you can actually act on.

Priced per store, by crew size. No card, no contract. If it isn't working for your store, you stop. There is nothing to cancel.

The store runs itself when good work always counts.

Turn it on this week. Your crew does the rest: thirty seconds a week, on their own phones, during the shift.
