For owners and managers
Everything the week needs, nothing it doesn't.
Made for the way restaurant schedules actually get built — around availability, jobs, minors and the weekend rush.
Auto-schedule from a template
Lay out a standard week once. Shift Tempo fills it from everyone's availability, spreads hours fairly, honors pinned shifts and keeps minors inside their limits.
Copy weeks, publish & repeat
Carry a good week forward in one step. Anything that no longer fits becomes an open shift instead of a mistake.
Labor cost as you build
Per-job pay rates, people who work more than one job, overtime across locations — the cost of the week shows before you publish.
Time off, PTO and paydays
Requests come with the shifts they cover. Approvals go to the right person, PTO hours are tracked, and paydays sit on the calendar.
News and key dates
Pin a post for one store or all of them. Mark the busy weekends and inventory nights everyone needs to see coming.
Printouts that fit one page
Week by day, daily timelines or by person, grouped by managers, in shop and drivers. Share a PDF straight from your phone.
For your crew
The schedule in their pocket.
No app store, no passwords taped to the wall. Shift Tempo installs to the home screen and tells people what they need to know, when they need to know it.
- My shifts and a month calendar with paydays
- Availability that saves as they tap
- Claim open shifts — warned if they already work then
- Email and push notifications when the schedule posts
Growing past one store
One account for every location.
Switch stores in a tap. People who work at two locations show up at both, and their hours add up across them.
- Area managers
- Give them exactly the stores they run — and decide who can post news.
- Roles that make sense
- Owners, managers and crew each see what they should, and nothing they shouldn't.
- QR code sign-up
- New hires join the right store from a code on the wall; you approve them.
- Fair by default
- Hours spread evenly, with pins and preferences when you need them.
