Where restaurant scheduling breaks down
Split shifts, two rushes a day, a kitchen and a floor, and someone calling in sick an hour before service. Shifta keeps all of it on one screen, so next week is planned before this one ends.
Split shifts and double services
Two peaks a day, across a floor team and a kitchen team, is where spreadsheets fall apart.
Last-minute sickness
A no-show before service lands on whoever is already working, unless you can see at a glance who is free.
Swaps you never agreed to
Shifts get traded in a group chat, and the rota on the wall drifts away from reality.
Hours added up at month end
When hours live in three places, the labour cost of a busy week is a surprise instead of a number you watched.

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. Start free, switch on more only when your team actually asks for it.
Anchored in Switzerland
Prices in CHF, the app in English, French and German, your data hosted in the EU. Built around how Swiss small businesses actually work.
People who answer
Write to us and the people who build shifta reply, usually the same day. Good ideas often ship within the week.
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.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan covers the scheduling essentials for a single venue. Paid plans in CHF add time tracking, analytics and more when you need them.
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.
