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 café week
Real product surfaces, shown on a café week.
From open to close, on one grid
You see at a glance who is available each day, from open to close. 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 hSwiss rules checked while you plan
Switch on the Labour Act and the CCNT, and Shifta flags on the schedule whatever falls outside the rules, while you build the week. A warning, never a block.
A tablet time clock, from the open
A tablet by the till: everyone types their four-digit code to clock in, start a break and clock out. The hours add up in Attendance, with no sheet to fill in.
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.
Inès R.The schedule on everyone's phone
When you publish, everyone gets a notification and sees their hours in the iOS or Android app. An open to cover? Post an open shift: whoever is free claims it, and you confirm.
A swap settled before the open
A swap arrives as a request, with any double booking or approved leave flagged before you agree. The open does not depend on a message read too late.
MarcoInèsHours and cost, day by day
Scheduled hours and estimated cost update with every shift you add, day by day.

Three languages
Everyone uses Shifta in English, French or German.
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.
Café scheduling questions
Common questions about scheduling your team with Shifta. Can't find what you're after? We're happy to help.
Is Shifta too much for a café with five people?
No. Standard is built for exactly this: a small team, one venue, the essentials done properly, for CHF 29.90 per month. You only move to Pro if you want time tracking and analytics.
How do I make sure the open is always covered?
Save an opening template, schedule it each day, and publish. The barista on the open gets it on their phone with a push notification, so nothing is left to memory.
Can staff tell me when they cannot work?
Yes. They mark unavailability and request time off in the app, and you see it before you build the week.
Does it cost anything to start?
No. The first 14 days are free, with no card and every Pro feature. After that, Standard is enough for a single café at CHF 29.90 per month, and Pro adds time tracking and analytics if you want them.
What languages does it support?
English, French and German. Each person uses Shifta in their own language.
