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 restaurant week
Real product surfaces, shown on a restaurant week.
Lunch and dinner on one simple grid
You see at a glance who is available each day, on the floor, at the bar and in the kitchen. 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 at the restaurant door
Everyone types their four-digit code to clock in, start a break and clock out, on the tablet or on their phone if you allow it. The hours land in Attendance on their own, next to the schedule.
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. A shift to cover an hour before service? Post an open shift: whoever is free claims it, and you confirm.
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.
MarcoInèsCCNT timesheet
Rest too short, a missing break: Shifta flags conflicts with the CCNT on the schedule. Every month, the timesheet the CCNT asks for is ready to print and sign.

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.
Restaurant scheduling questions
Common questions about scheduling your team with Shifta. Can't find what you're after? We're happy to help.
Can I schedule kitchen and service teams separately?
Yes. You set up areas like floor, bar and kitchen, and each person is scheduled in their area. The week reads clearly even with two services a day.
How do staff pick up open shifts?
You post a shift as open, and people who are available and qualified can claim it from the mobile app. You confirm with one tap and the rota updates for everyone.
Does Shifta track worked hours for payroll?
The team logs their hours in the app, and worked hours appear next to the planned hours. You get an estimated gross figure per person to hand to your fiduciary. Switzerland expects employers to keep a record of hours worked, and that record builds itself as the week runs.
Can I try Shifta for free?
Yes, for 14 days, with every Pro feature and no credit card. After that, Standard covers scheduling for a single venue of up to ten people at CHF 29.90 per month, and Pro adds time tracking, analytics and more for CHF 39.90.
Does it work on mobile?
Your team uses native iOS and Android apps to check shifts, request swaps and log hours. You can plan from any browser or a tablet.
