Restaurant Staff Scheduling Solutions

Advanced Restaurant Staff Scheduling Software

Shifton’s restaurant employee scheduling software simplifies the complex process of shift allocation.

1. Streamlined Shift Planning. Shifton’s intuitive interface allows managers to create schedules in just minutes, significantly reducing planning time.
2. Real-Time Adjustments. In the fast-paced restaurant industry, unexpected changes like staff absences or sudden increases in customer volume are common. Shifton’s restaurant shift scheduling software enables managers to reassign shifts instantly by notifying available employees through the mobile app. For instance, a casual dining restaurant facing a no-show during dinner hours can notify and onboard a replacement in under 10 minutes, minimizing service disruption.
3. Customizable Schedules. Shifton supports diverse scheduling requirements, including part-time, full-time, and rotating shifts. For example, a café with heavy morning and evening demand can create overlapping shifts to ensure seamless coverage. Additionally, restaurants with seasonal variations, such as holiday rushes, can scale schedules dynamically to meet demand.

Employee Management and Engagement

Shifton’s restaurant staff scheduling and employee management software offers tools to improve engagement, streamline communication, and enhance overall team performance.

1. Flexible Scheduling. Shifton empowers employees by offering flexible scheduling options, including shift swaps and time-off requests, all managed via a mobile-friendly app.
2. Real-Time Communication. Shifton’s in-app messaging system ensures that staff stay informed about updates such as daily specials, menu changes, or team meetings. For example, a fine-dining restaurant can use Shifton to communicate last-minute updates about a seasonal menu change, ensuring all staff members are aligned before service.
3. Performance Tracking. Shifton enables managers to monitor KPIs such as punctuality, attendance, and productivity. A steakhouse chain can use Shifton to identify its top-performing servers, offering them incentives and training opportunities to further enhance their skills, while underperforming staff receive targeted coaching.

By leveraging these tools, restaurants can create a more engaged workforce, leading to better service, lower turnover, and higher profitability.
