Shift scheduling for restaurants

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.

01

Split shifts and double services

Two peaks a day, across a floor team and a kitchen team, is where spreadsheets fall apart.

02

Last-minute sickness

A no-show before service lands on whoever is already working, unless you can see at a glance who is free.

03

Swaps you never agreed to

Shifts get traded in a group chat, and the rota on the wall drifts away from reality.

04

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.

Why shifta

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

People who answer

Write to us and the people who build shifta reply, usually the same day. Good ideas often ship within the week.
