The deadline asks first.

eskaler runs your operation's checkpoints. It messages the right person at the right moment, understands a one-word reply, and escalates on silence — up the chain, all the way to management if it must. Nobody has to remember to check anything.

Nothing to install

It's just messages. SMS, Telegram — whatever your people already answer.

Nothing to learn

YES is the whole manual. DELAY 20, NO and NOT ME cover the rest of a bad day.

No new devices

A personal phone is enough. Mounted tablets cover no-phone zones like the kitchen.

It asks first

Proactive by design — nothing depends on someone remembering to check a dashboard.

How it works

four steps, no training day
01

Define the day

Your checkpoints, their times, and who owns each one — set up once, rostered per day.

02

eskaler asks

At the moment it matters, the owner gets a message: Food packed?

03

One word back

yes confirms. delay 20 buys time. no raises a hand. not me fixes the rota.

04

Silence climbs

No answer? A reminder, then the next person in the chain — with context, not just noise.

Silence is a signal.
ON TIMEThe owner — a ping and a one-word reply.
+10 MINA reminder — people are busy; that's fine.
LEVEL 2The ops chief — with the story so far, not a mystery.
LEVEL 3Management — because a missed truck at 06:45 is lunch for 4,000 people.

No phones in the kitchen? Mount a tablet.

Some zones ban personal phones. eskaler's station kiosk puts the next deadline and a countdown on the wall, readable across the room — and MARK DONE is one tap with wet hands.

Answers are attributed by initials, first answer wins, and the same escalation ladder backs it all up if the tablet stays quiet.

Next deadline Kitchen close 14:00 MARK DONE

Run tomorrow on eskaler.

Piloting with operations that live and die by the clock. Setup is an afternoon, not a project.
