Staff scheduling that runs like clockwork

Everything the schedule needs. Nothing you don't.

Shifty Staff handles the whole scheduling grind — from building the week to filling the last-minute gaps.

Your week builds itself

Lay out your usual week one time — shifts, jobs, and your regulars. Every week after that fills itself in, and your crew signs up for what's open.

  • Weekly templates with default assignees
  • ✨ AI assistant drafts a fair week in one click
  • Color-coded jobs you define — bar, kitchen, door, anything

An app they'll actually open

Open shifts get claimed, not group-texted

Your crew sees open shifts on their phone and taps once to claim. Push notifications for new shifts, announcements, and schedule changes — and you can see who's actually using the app.

  • Tap-to-claim open shifts and events
  • Availability, time off, and shift swaps in-app
  • Owner dashboard shows who's on board

Sick calls, handled

Someone calls out at 4pm? Covered by 4:05.

A shift opens up and Shifty gets to work: eligible coworkers get notified, standby volunteers are promoted automatically, and nobody has to work the phones — including you.

  • One tap offers a shift to the whole eligible crew
  • Standby list auto-promotes when a slot frees up
  • No smartphone? They get a text instead

Made for bars, not boardrooms

Built behind a bar, not behind a desk

Special events that need extra hands, a big-screen schedule for the back of house, and staff who work at more than one spot — it's all first-class here.

  • Event staffing with signup lists that fill themselves
  • Wall display mode for the TV in the back
  • One account for staff who work multiple venues

The app your crew keeps in their pocket

Shifts, pickups, and heads-ups - all on their phone, on iPhone and Android.
