The problem

Your margin sits in a dozen busy days.

Sun on a bank holiday and you need everyone. Rain in October and you need almost nobody. The team is large, seasonal, and mostly young, and the admin scales with all three.

Demand swings faster than the schedule.

A forecast changes on Wednesday and the schedule was fixed a fortnight ago, so you cover the weekend on overtime.

A new crew every season.

Half your summer team has never worked here before, and the ones who have are back at university by September.

Big teams, thin admin.

Two hundred people on the payroll and one office. Availability, hours, and leave arrive faster than anyone can key them in.

Employee scheduling

Require the certificate on the shift.

Tag a certificate as a skill and require it on the shift. Shiftbase shows planners who holds it, and on Premium an employee without it cannot claim that shift.

Seasonal staff

Rehire last season's crew in minutes.

Shiftbase keeps former employees on file, so returning seasonal staff come back with their contract and wage data intact. New starters onboard in the app before their first day on site.

Mobile app + payroll

Your team knows when they work and what they're paid.

Publish and the schedule lands in everyone's app. Swaps, availability, and time off run through Shiftbase instead of a group chat with two hundred people in it, and clocked hours flow into your payroll export.

The bill shrinks when the team does.

When the season ends and the team stands down, your bill goes down with it, and their records stay where they are for next year.

ASundaywith Shiftbase.

A leisure day is decided before it starts: the forecast, the bookings, the school holidays. Here is how it looks when the schedule, the hours, and the numbers sit in one place.

08:30

Gates prep.

The opening team clocks in on the tablet at the staff entrance. You can see every department is covered.

10:05

The sun comes out.

The park is busier than you planned for. Post two extra shifts and the seasonal team picks them up from their phones.

14:40

Peak.

Everyone scheduled is where they're qualified to be. Every clock-in lands on the timesheet in the background.

19:15

Close.

Revenue goes in and Performance sets it against worked hours. You know what the sunshine was worth.

Try it out, then decide.

Plan one department through a busy weekend, publish it, and see the hours land payroll-ready. If it doesn't earn its keep, it costs you nothing.

Set up in a day.

Every feature in your plan is open from day one, no credit card needed. Your first week can be live tonight.

Runs on shifts.

If your business runs on shifts, the setup already matches how you plan. Invite your team, set it up, and run it on a real week.

Cancel anytime.

Monthly plans, no long contracts. If Shiftbase doesn't fit your business, you leave with your data.

Data stays in Europe.

Wage data and contracts are sensitive, so we store them on European servers under GDPR.

FAQ

Got questions?

Everything about running a leisure team on Shiftbase, and if it isn't here, our team is one message away.

No. Billing follows active employees, so when a seasonal team stands down out of season your bill goes down with it and their records stay on file for next year.

They stay on file with their contract and wage data. Reactivate them and they're back in the schedule, instead of being onboarded from scratch.

Yes. Each gets its own team, budget, and schedule, and you get one live view across the site so nobody is booked in two places.

No. A skill in Shiftbase is a name and a group, with no expiry date, certificate number or issuing body, and nothing is sent when one changes. Store the certificate and its renewal date on the employee file instead, and Shiftbase emails before that date passes.

In the app, each seeing their own shifts. Swaps, availability, and time off come in as requests you approve, rather than as messages you have to remember.
