Free SOP generator

Free SOP generator: describe the job, get the procedure

An SOP template is still a blank page — you have to write the thing. This does the writing. Say how a job is done the way you'd tell a new hire, and get back a structured standard operating procedure: purpose, steps, safety notes and checkpoints. Free to try, and translatable into whatever languages your team reads.

Describe the job the way you'd tell a new hire

Try an example:

Type of business

You're describing it in

Made with ¡ tiendo · tiendo.co · This is your own description, structured. Nothing was added.

An SOP on paper says how the job is done. It doesn't say who read it.Tiendo puts this same routine on each worker's phone, in their language, and records who confirmed it.

In short: A standard operating procedure is a written description of how a specific job is done, so anyone can do it the same way. Instead of filling in a template, describe the job out loud and Tiendo structures it into steps, safety points and checkpoints — then translates it for your crew.

Why SOP templates usually stay empty

Downloading a template takes a minute. Writing twenty procedures takes weeks you don't have — and then they go out of date, and nobody on the floor reads a Word document anyway. That's why most small operations run on what's in the manager's head.

The template is easy to download and impossible to find time to fill in.
Written procedures go stale the moment something changes, and updating every version is worse than writing it.
A document on a shared drive isn't where your crew is — their phone is.
If half your team reads another language, an English SOP only does half a job.

How Tiendo helps

Talk it through instead of typing it. You get a clean procedure in seconds, with the safety-critical parts pulled out. Add a photo to any step — for hands-on work, seeing the right result beats reading about it. Then post it as a QR code where the job happens, or assign it to a new hire. Change it later and every language updates from the one source.

One routine, every language your team speaks: EspañolKreyòlTiếng ViệtالعربيةPolski中文

How it works

Talk it in. Describe how the job is done, out loud or typed, in whatever language you think in.
Get a clear routine. It becomes tidy steps, safety notes and checkpoints, then translates into your team's language — numbers and temperatures kept exact.
Your team reads and confirms. Post a QR code at the station or hand a new hire one link. They read it on their phone, come back to it anytime, and tap "read and understood."

Questions owners and managers ask

What is a standard operating procedure?

A written description of how a specific task is done, step by step, so that anyone doing it produces the same result — usually including safety points and checks.

How do I write an SOP without starting from a blank template?

Describe the job the way you'd explain it to a new hire. Tiendo structures that into a titled procedure with purpose, steps, safety notes and checkpoints, which you can then edit.

Is the SOP generator free?

You can build a routine free to see how it works. Translating into your team's languages, posting QR codes, assigning to new hires and keeping receipts are on the paid plans.

Can I get the SOP in more than one language?

Yes. Each procedure can be translated into the languages your crew reads, with numbers, temperatures and times kept exactly as written.

What's the difference between an SOP and a work instruction?

An SOP usually describes the whole process and why it matters; a work instruction is the narrow step-by-step for one task. Tiendo produces something that works as both — short steps with the context attached.

Do my staff need an app to read it?

No. They scan a QR code or open a link on any phone.
