## What is Specter Shift?

Specter Shift is the scheduling and workforce management platform built specifically for haunted attractions, escape rooms, and live entertainment venues.

Whether you manage a seasonal haunt with 200+ actors or a year-round escape room with a rotating crew, Specter Shift gives you the tools to run your operation without the chaos.

KEY FEATURES:

- Smart Scheduling — Create shifts, assign positions, manage availability conflicts, and fill gaps fast
- QR Check-In — Scan-in at kiosks or use the mobile app for contactless attendance tracking
- Team Messaging — Send announcements, shift reminders, and direct messages to your crew
- Availability Management — Staff submit availability, managers approve or adjust as needed
- Position & Room Management — Map your venue's rooms, positions, and staffing requirements
- Multi-Venue Support — Manage multiple attractions or locations from one account
- Real-Time Attendance — See who's clocked in, who's late, and who's missing
- Push Notifications — Shift reminders, schedule changes, and messages delivered instantly

BUILT FOR THE HAUNT INDUSTRY:
Specter Shift was born from 10 years of running haunted attractions. We know the unique challenges — seasonal hiring, high turnover, complex position requirements, and the controlled chaos of opening night. This isn't generic scheduling software adapted for haunts. It's haunt scheduling software from day one.

FREE TO TRY:
14-day free trial, no credit card required. All features included in every plan.
