Across Switzerland, they trust us
Before, it was sheets of paper pinned behind a door. Now the staff organise themselves and swap their shifts. For me, it means far fewer hours spent on schedules.

How Shifta handles a bar week
Real product surfaces, shown on a bar week.
A simple, visual schedule
You see at a glance who is available each day, weekend nights included. Drag a shift from one day to another or from one person to another, then publish: the whole team gets the schedule.
Inès17.5 h
Marco18.5 h
Aïcha12.0 hLate closes, checked
Switch on the Labour Act and the CCNT: rest that is too short after a late close is flagged on the schedule, like the other rules. A warning, never a block.
A time clock behind the bar, every night
A tablet behind the bar: everyone types their four-digit code when they arrive and when they leave, even after a late close. On Monday, every night's hours are already in Attendance.
Swaps you approve
A swap arrives as a request. Shifta flags it if someone would end up on two shifts at once or on approved leave, then you accept or decline.
MarcoInèsThe schedule on everyone's phone
When you publish, everyone gets a notification and sees their hours in the iOS or Android app. A Saturday to cover? Post an open shift: whoever is free claims it, and you confirm.
Everyone's balances, kept up to date
Shifta works out everyone's balance of hours, holidays, public holidays and rest days automatically. No more adding it up by hand at the end of the month.

You shouldn't pay for software you only half use.
Most scheduling tools are built for chains, with menus no small team ever opens. Shifta is built in Switzerland for small teams: the essentials, done properly, in your language.
Only what you need
Every feature earns its place on the screen. Standard to schedule, Pro when your team needs everything else.
Anchored in Switzerland
Prices in CHF, the app in English, French and German, your data hosted in the EU. Built around how Swiss SMEs actually work.
Responsive, local support
Write to us and the team that builds Shifta, here in Switzerland, answers, usually the same day. Your feedback shapes the product directly.
Bar scheduling questions
Common questions about scheduling your team with Shifta. Can't find what you're after? We're happy to help.
Can the team swap shifts without messaging me?
They request a swap in the app and you approve or decline. Shifta checks for conflicts and short rest first, so you keep control without the back and forth.
How do I cover a busy Saturday at short notice?
Post the gap as an open shift. Available staff see it on their phone and can claim it, and you confirm with one tap.
Does it help with late closes and rest periods?
When you schedule or approve a shift, Shifta flags conflicts and short rest between shifts, so you catch a tight turnaround before it happens.
Can I run two venues from one account?
Yes. Multiple venues sit under one login, each with its own team and schedule, and you switch between them in a tap.
Can I try Shifta for free?
Yes, for 14 days, with every feature and no card. After that, Standard covers scheduling for one venue at CHF 29.90 per month, and Pro adds time tracking and analytics for CHF 39.90.
