Still building the schedule on paper, a whiteboard or a spreadsheet? Shiftmate puts it in your pocket: tap a shift and the week fills in, and short-staffed days and hours stand out at a glance. Then send it to staff with one link, even if they don't have the app. For small shops with up to about 20 staff: cafes, restaurants, salons and retail. Add names and go. No account needed. [BUILD THE SCHEDULE] - A staff-by-day grid, just like paper. Tap a template to add a shift; copy last week in one go - Day, Week and Month views, plus an hourly headcount heatmap. Swipe to the next week or day [SEE WHERE YOU'RE SHORT] - Set staffing needs by weekday, by time of day (say, 3 people from 11a to 2p) and by role - Short days turn red, short hours are outlined, and the Day view lists what's missing - "Add Here" suggests the shift that covers the most missing hours, and who can work it - Alerts for empty hours, long streaks, short breaks and short rest [KNOW EACH PERSON'S LIMITS] - Save each person's unavailable times, temporary conflicts, weekly limits and shift length - Give staff several roles (front, kitchen) and mark trainees - Get alerted when no one can open, close or lead - Mismatches are flagged as you schedule (nothing is blocked) [CALL-OUTS AND COVER] - Mark a call-out; the original hours are kept - See who can step in, with overtime notes, and give them the shift - Hand off the rest of a shift partway through [COLLECT STAFF REQUESTS] - Staff check their shifts and send shift, day-off and swap requests - Weekly Requests cover a whole week; late ones are marked - To Do puts the most urgent shortage first; approve or decline requests right there - Swaps show who can take them, and the effect on hours, roles and cost [SHIFTMATE LINK] (separate auto-renewable subscription) - Each person gets their own page: their shifts and everyone's, in any browser - The same link always shows the latest - Collect requests by a deadline; staff send them from a browser to your To Do - Use on a PC: edit the week and approve requests in a browser (Premium: view only) - End-to-end encrypted; we can't read it. Wages, phone numbers and notes aren't included - Monthly or yearly; separate from one-time Premium [FILL GAPS AUTOMATICALLY] (Premium) - Drafts shifts for short days from needs and requests - Respects each person's limits and roles, rest between shifts and fairness - Nothing is final until you confirm [LABOR COST AND HOURS] - Hours and estimated labor cost per person - U.S. federal overtime (1.5x over 40 hours a week), or a custom rule with daily overtime and night premiums - Totals follow your payroll period - Schedule raises ahead; overnight shifts split the rate at midnight - Staff see their estimated gross pay (before taxes and deductions) [TODAY AT A GLANCE] - Today's Staffing: headcount through the day, who's on now and today's labor cost. Contact or adjust anyone from their row - Tomorrow's shortages show here and in the day-before reminder - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show today's lineup, shortages and to-dos [SHARE AND EXPORT] - Add confirmed shifts to your device's calendar - Share the schedule as an image or PDF, or send a calendar file (Premium) - Export totals as CSV by pay period (Premium) [ON SUPPORTED DEVICES] - Ask about shifts by voice, or describe changes in plain words in the To Do chat (saved only when you apply; stays on-device) [PRIVATE AND OFFLINE] - Data stays on your device and works offline (except Shiftmate Link) - Lock manager screens with an admin PIN (biometric unlock supported) - Light or dark appearance [PREMIUM (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)] Without Premium: up to 3 active staff. Premium adds unlimited staff, multiple locations, sync and backup across your devices, automatic scheduling, and sharing and export. Buy once; restore on your other devices.
