Audrey, 

Those are great points, thank you. I didn't even think about the perception of the tech - you are totally right. We're coming to the point where technology is integrated into almost every one of our actions, but setting the tone of professionalism (will shift at some point I am sure) still requires us to be off our phones. 

The idea was to encourage a sort of gamification, to stoke passions to get work done with some tangible rewards between employees. But maybe you are right, I should focus on how I can encourage coordination between leads. 

A tablet! That's a good idea and probably a more acceptable starting point. 

Maybe it could work for events or catering where there is BoH and FoH work operations, but not somewhere like a retail space. 

I suppose another huge component is helping managers set tone and etiquette so this kind of tool could be feasible. 

Lots to think about! Thanks again. @AudreyPratt
