TapShift vs Shift Scheduler

TapShift is a shift scheduling app for store managers, small teams, and hourly workplaces. Create staff rosters, manage employees, check required staffing, review coverage gaps, and calculate payroll from your iPhone. Still building schedules with paper or spreadsheets? Need to know whether each role has enough people? Tired of calculating work hours and wages by hand? TapShift brings everyday shift management into one simple mobile workflow. 【KEY FEATURES】 ■ Calendar-Style Shift Scheduling Create shifts with a tap. Assign saved shift templates to staff and dates, then review the whole month in a color-coded calendar. Timeline views also make it easier to see how many people are working at the same time. ■ Group Management Organize staff by role or team, such as floor, kitchen, delivery, reception, or any group that matches your workplace. Review work hours and labor cost by group to understand staffing balance. ■ Required Staffing & Coverage Analysis Set required staffing by day or schedule pattern. Compare planned shifts against required staffing to find shortages and surplus before the schedule is shared. ■ Staff Management Register staff names, hourly rates, and display colors. Hourly rates are used for automatic payroll calculation, making monthly summaries easier to review. ■ Reusable Shift Templates Save common shifts such as morning, evening, full day, or day off. Add start and end times to calculate work hours automatically. ■ Monthly Summary & Payroll Review total work hours, payroll, transportation costs, and summaries by staff or group. Useful for checking monthly labor cost, commute-related costs, and staffing trends. ■ Shift Copy & Auto-Fill Copy past shift patterns to a new period or auto-fill recurring weekly schedules. Reduce repetitive work when building monthly rosters. ■ Multi-Workplace Management Switch between workplaces and manage each schedule separately. Keep staff, shifts, and summaries organized by location or project. ■ Export & Share Export shift schedules as PDF or JPEG images. Print them for the workplace or share them with staff through email and messaging apps. ■ Notes Add monthly notes and date-specific notes for busy days, events, deadlines, or operational reminders. 【IDEAL FOR】 • Restaurant, cafe, convenience store, and retail managers • Teams scheduling part-time or hourly workers • Workplaces that need role-based staffing coverage • Managers moving from paper or spreadsheets to mobile scheduling • Small businesses that want easier payroll calculation • Multi-site teams and project-based workplaces 【BENEFITS】 • Manage rosters, staff, required staffing, and payroll in one app • See shifts clearly with a color-coded monthly calendar • Check labor cost and work hours by staff or group • Find staffing shortages and surplus more easily • Store data on your device without cloud sync 【PRICING】 ■ Free Version • Up to 50 shift entries • Up to 3 staff members • Core features included ■ Premium Version • Unlimited shift entries • Unlimited staff members • Ad-free • 2-month free trial included Download TapShift and make shift scheduling easier.

Smart Shift Creation & Automation Our app supports your scheduling process from start to finish. You can manually assign specific shifts and let the system automatically fill in the remaining gaps. The auto-assignment engine creates the most balanced and fair schedule possible, strictly following your custom rules. Customizable Assignment Rules: 1. Staffing Requirements Set the required number of staff for each date, shift type, and specific task/role. 2. Individual Staff Settings Basic Availability: Set recurring days off or unavailable shifts by day of the week. Specific Requests: Block or prioritize shifts for specific dates. Workload Limits: Define maximum working days per month or per week. Shift-Specific Limits: Set the maximum number of times a specific shift (e.g., Night Shift) can be assigned. Priority Assignments: Designate preferred shifts for specific staff members. Monthly Hour Caps: Set maximum working hours per month. 3. Advanced Scheduling Logic & Rules Consecutive Work Limits: Prevent burnout by limiting consecutive work days (e.g., no more than 6 days in a row). Consecutive Shift Limits: Restrict back-to-back specific shifts (e.g., no double night shifts). Mandatory Rest Periods: Specify required days off after certain shifts (e.g., 2 days off after a night shift). Shift Sequencing: Prohibit specific shift sequences for health and safety (e.g., no "Early Shift" immediately after a "Night Shift"). Post-Rest Day Rules: Block specific shifts on the day following a post-night-shift rest day. Optimized Holidays: Logic to minimize "isolated" work days and encourage consecutive days off. Turnaround Rules: Prevent "Late Shift to Early Shift" transitions to ensure adequate rest. Mandatory Successions: Define shifts that must follow one another (e.g., "Late Night Shift" must follow a "Semi-Night Shift"). Skill Balancing: Prevent shifts consisting only of staff members who require extra support. Compatibility (Pairing) Rules: Block specific combinations of staff from being assigned to the same shift (e.g., Staff A and Staff B cannot work together).
