Scheduling & Communication
Scheduling shouldn't take three hours and six text threads.
Shifty gives managers better scheduling tools and gives employees clarity. Availability, time off requests, shift swaps, and manager approvals without the chaos.
Too busy to build it yourself?
Hand us your menus, training manuals, and operation guides. We'll build your entire system so your team can just log in and go.
If your schedule lives in a group chat, you don't have a schedule. You have a prayer.
Availability changes and you don't find out until someone calls in
Shift swaps get buried in texts that managers miss
New schedules get ignored or never seen by half the team
Last-minute coverage gaps turn into manager panic every weekend
Scheduling is the one thing that touches every single employee, every week. It should work.
Shifty was built by operators who've sat in that manager's chair. The schedule isn't just a spreadsheet. It's how your team knows what's expected. We made it cleaner, faster, and connected to the rest of how your operation runs.
Built for the floor
Features designed specifically for the pace and realities of restaurant operations.
Availability management so the schedule reflects reality, not wishful thinking
Reduce last-minute callouts and coverage scrambles by building schedules around real availability and preferred “Dream Shifts,” so your team actually wants to work the shifts they’re given.
Time off requests and shift swaps with manager approval flows
Cut down on back-and-forth and prevent unapproved swaps so you’re not fixing coverage issues mid-shift.
AI auto-scheduling that builds accurate schedules in seconds, not hours
Reclaim hours of manager time with an auto-scheduler that instantly factors in availability, preferred shifts, shift priorities, and employee ratings to consistently put your “aces in places.”
In-app communication to cut down the text thread chaos
Eliminate missed messages and confusion so your team shows up informed and shifts run without unnecessary disruption.
Employee-facing schedule access on their phone, when they need it
Reduce no-shows and constant “when am I working?” questions by giving employees instant access to their schedule.
You'll Be In Good Company
1,000+ locations trust Shifty to run a more consistent shift.
Here's what operators say after putting it on their floors.
"We do staggered shifts all day, so there's never a great time for a pre-shift or a group meeting — it's really hard to get information across the company. Shifty's communication platform is really, really important to us. Being able to push a daily 'here's what's happening' to whoever's on shift, and have them see the backlog of what they missed, is exactly what we need."
"We love the one-way announcement feature where we can see that staff have seen it, without everyone having to respond back."
"It's great being able to send out a message as an organization rather than going location to location. You can attach a poll or a survey, pin it to their home screen, and then see exactly who's viewed it and how they voted. That gets people using the app — who doesn't like to answer a quick question?"
