Where store scheduling breaks down

A quiet Tuesday, a packed Saturday, part-timers whose availability changes weekly, and opening and closing to cover every day. Shifta keeps the whole store on one screen, so next week is done before this one ends.

01

Saturdays carry the week

Most of the revenue lands on a few peak days, and staffing them right is hard to eyeball in a spreadsheet.

02

Part-time availability

Students and part-timers can work different hours every week, and collecting that by message gets messy fast.

03

Open and close, every day

Someone has to hold the keys morning and evening, and a missed closing shift shows up at the worst moment.

04

Hours reconstructed at month end

When worked hours live in a notebook, payroll means reconstructing the month instead of reading it.

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.

FAQ

Retail scheduling questions

Common questions about scheduling your team with shifta. Can't find what you're after? We're happy to help.

Can staff enter their availability?

Yes. Everyone enters when they cannot work before you plan, so the week is built on real availability instead of guesswork.

How do shift swaps work?

Staff request a swap in the app, Shifta checks for conflicts, and you approve or decline with one tap. The schedule updates for everyone.

Does Shifta track worked hours?

The team logs their hours in the app, and they appear next to the planned hours, with an estimated gross figure per person for payroll. Switzerland expects employers to keep a record of hours worked, and that record builds itself.

We have more than one store. Does that work?

Yes. Each store has its own schedule and team under one account, and you switch between them in a tap.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan covers the scheduling essentials for a single store. Paid plans in CHF add time tracking and analytics when you need them.
