Shifo is the operating system for Dutch hospitality teams. Plan the week, run the shift, track the hours, and approve the rest. All without spreadsheets, group chats, or paper logbooks. Built for restaurants, hotels, cafés, and bars, Shifo brings every part of your operation into one calm place. Owners get a multi-location dashboard. Managers build the roster and approve the rest. Staff see their week, clock in, request leave, ask to swap a shift, and check their plus/minus balance, all from their phone. PLAN THE WEEK Build a roster in minutes with weekly templates and smart suggestions based on availability. Conflicts like overlap, leave, and contract hours light up while you place shifts. Watch the live labour cost meter as you assign. Publish and every team member is notified by push. RUN THE SHIFT Recurring tasks tied to shifts and sections cover opening checklists, closing routines, HACCP logs, allergen checks, and fridge temperatures. Every completed task is signed off, timestamped, and can carry a photo. Pull a per-day or per-week logbook export whenever the inspection comes. TRACK THE HOURS Self-service clock in from your phone, or use a shared tablet PIN-pad on the floor. Approved hours flow into plus/minus balances. Surcharges for Sundays, public holidays, and late nights are calculated for you. Corrections live in the audit log. APPROVE AND PAY Approve leave, swap requests, and time entries from one inbox. Export contracts, hours, and surcharges in one Excel or PDF your payroll provider already understands. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE TEAM • Owners see every venue from one dashboard, with labour cost and pending approvals across the operation. • Managers drag and drop shifts, fix conflicts, and publish in minutes. • Supervisors see their section's tasks and team without management rights. • Staff get a clean app for the parts of work that fit on a phone. BUILT FOR THE NETHERLANDS • Dutch and English interface, with proper HR vocabulary where it counts. • Dutch public holidays preloaded into the scheduler. • CAO-aware break rules applied at clock in. • Multi-location support. Run one venue or a portfolio from one account. • Realtime updates across every screen. • Full audit log per organization, ready for an inspector. PRIVACY AND DATA EU-based servers.
