Donewell vs SafetyCulture (Mitti)
SafetyCulture — now Mitti, “by SafetyCulture” — is workplace inspection software, priced per seat: $24 a seat a month on Premium. Donewell is built for restaurants only, and priced for the whole restaurant: $9.95 a month or $99 a year for one location, with every cook, server and closer on it. Every item signed off by name, photo proof where it matters, and a morning email of anything missed.

Why restaurants choose Donewell over SafetyCulture
- Proof, not initials. Every item is signed off on a phone by a named person, with the time it was done. The items that matter take a photo with the camera opened right on the item.
- One flat price for the whole crew. $9.95 a month or $99 a year for one location. No per-user fee, so you never think twice about adding the dishwasher or the new closer.
- Works where kitchens are. Sign-offs save on the phone first and send when there is signal, so the walk-in, the basement and the patio all work.
- You find out by morning. One email the next day lists anything that was not done, so you do not have to go looking.
- Running tonight. Pick a ready-made restaurant template, invite your crew by email, and they are signing off at close. No call, no demo, no card for the trial.

How much does SafetyCulture cost for a restaurant?
Per seat. The Free plan covers up to 10 people and 5 active templates. Beyond that, Premium is $24 a seat a month billed annually, or $29 billed monthly, and the bill grows with every paid seat you add. Donewell is $9.95 a month for the whole restaurant — less than one SafetyCulture Premium seat.
Is SafetyCulture called Mitti now?
Yes. On 23 September 2026, safetyculture.com redirected to mitti.com, which names the product “Mitti (by SafetyCulture)”.
Why use a restaurant-only checklist app?
Because the close is not an audit. It is the same thirty-odd things done in the same order every night by whoever is on, often with no signal in the walk-in. Donewell is built around exactly that: the list in walking order, one tap per item, readings checked against your ranges, photos where they count, and nothing to configure before tonight.
How do I switch to Donewell?
- Start the trial and pick a restaurant template — closing, opening, temperature log — or start from a blank list.
- Invite your crew by email. They sign in with a link; there is no password to forget.
- They sign off tonight. You get the first morning email tomorrow.
