Onboarding for small businesses

Onboarding that actually works
from day one.

How It Works

Three steps to a perfect first day

From blank page to a working onboarding — in one evening.

1

Build your onboarding

Add steps: text, photos, YouTube videos. No technical skills needed — an editor anyone can use, ready in one sitting.

2

Send a link

One click — your new hire gets a personal link. Opens on their phone, starts without signing up.

3

Track progress

See who's on which step, who's done, and who needs a nudge. In real time, from any device.

Without FirstDay. Sound familiar?

  • !
    Explaining the same things over and over

    Every new hire takes 3–4 hours of your time for the exact same rules. Again and again.

  • ?
    Calls in the first week

    Questions about procedures, tools, and routines — when you're already stretched thin.

  • i
    No visibility

    A message in a group chat guarantees nothing — you have no idea if they actually read it.

With FirstDay. A different story.

  • Build once, use forever

    Build the onboarding once. Every new hire after that goes through it on their own.

  • Zero calls on basic questions

    All the answers are in the onboarding. Opening routine, ratios, rules — all there.

  • Real-time progress

    See who's stuck. Know who needs attention before they have to call you.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

No unnecessary complexity. A small business owner should be onboarding people — not learning software.

Step builder

Text, photos, YouTube videos. A simple editor that requires no technical knowledge. Onboarding done in one sitting.

Personal link

Your employee opens the link on their phone and starts — no sign-up, no app download.

Progress dashboard

See who's on which step, who's stuck, and who needs help. In real time.

Auto-reminders

If an employee hasn't finished onboarding on time, the system flags it in your dashboard.

Mobile-first experience

The employee page is built for phones from the ground up. For people who onboard on the go.

Niche templates

Café, salon, shop. Pick a ready-made base and adapt it to your standards in minutes.

Dashboard

Your control centre for first days

All your onboardings, every employee's progress, and your stats — in one place.
