You learn the cost afterwards.
One scheduling call on a quiet Tuesday is the difference between the day being red and the day being black, and you find out three weeks later.

Tonight you know what the day made.

The problem
A full house says nothing about your margin.
The place was full, the terrace kept going, and your team gave it everything. The month still closes short. Margin leaks shift by shift, in the gap between the line-up you planned and the hours you paid for.
Availability lives in six places.
Students, part-timers, a runner swapping with the dishwasher. It arrives by WhatsApp, on a note by the pass, and in your head.
Closing is when the admin starts.
Takings sit in the till, hours sit on paper, and someone matches the two up long after the last table has gone.
Employee scheduling:quality(80))
See what a service costs while you build it.
Set a budget per day or per section. As you drop people in, Shiftbase shows the wage cost of the draft against it. Too heavy for a Tuesday? You fix it in the draft, not in the payroll run. The charts and the hourly view require Premium.
Mobile app + payroll:quality(80))
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 go through Shiftbase instead of the group chat. Clocked hours flow into your payroll export, so the hours you approve are the hours that go off.
Seasonal staff:quality(80))
Rehire last summer's crew in minutes.
Turnover is part of the job. Shiftbase keeps former employees on file, so a returning runner comes back with their contract and wage data intact. New starters onboard in the app before their first service.

ATuesdaywith Shiftbase.
Every restaurant runs the same rhythm: doors open, service goes, and something lands in between. Here is how a day looks when the schedule, the hours, and the numbers all sit in one place.
The early shift.
Today's schedule is in everyone's pocket. Nobody rings to ask what time they start.
A sick call.
Open the shift, see who is free, and have cover confirmed before the lunch rush.
Dinner service.
Bookings, walk-ins, a full terrace. Every clock-in lands on the timesheet in the background.
Close.
Enter today's takings and Performance sets them against worked hours. You go home knowing whether Tuesday earned its keep.
Try it out, then decide.
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.

FAQ
Got questions?
Everything about running a restaurant team on Shiftbase, and if it isn't here, our team is one message away.
No. Nothing in Shiftbase brings a customer through the door, and the covers you plan against never reach us. What it does is show you what a shift cost in wages against what the day took, so the same week next month is a decision rather than a guess.
Through the app. Open the shift and your team sees who is available, then you confirm the cover. No group chat, no phone tree, and the schedule updates for everyone at once.
They stay on file. When last summer's crew comes back you rehire them with their contract and wage data intact, instead of onboarding from scratch.
Yes. Restrict clock-ins to the restaurant with geolocation or a fixed IP address, so hours only start where the work happens.
Yes. Connect your till through the App Center and the turnover comes across on its own, so you can set it against worked hours at close.
