Real-Time Control for Catering & Events Operations

Running catering and event jobs means juggling load-ins, room flips, service windows, vendor handoffs, and strikes — often across multiple venues and tight timelines. Teams need live visibility into who’s available, which crew is onsite, what gear is issued, and where tasks are slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Catering / Events — clear statuses, accurate and clean handoffs between coordinators, warehouse, and onsite crews.
Shifton automates work-order routing, assigns the right people to the right job, and tracks progress and site time in real time. From prep to closeout, you get proof of work and fewer last-minute calls.

A focused field-service toolkit for setups, service, and strike. Give managers, warehouse, and onsite crews the same live picture to cut delays and keep work auditable.

Team Location Tracking
Track crew movement in real time. See who is where, how long they spent at a venue, and where they were during the workday. No chaos, no calls — everything is on the map.
Mobile Access
All the work is in your pocket. Staff start the workday with one tap, mark tasks, see timelines, and receive notifications right on the phone. No Excel files or paperwork — everything in one app.
Digital Job Forms
Create, fill out, and sign forms right in the system. Photos, signatures, comments — everything is stored online, with no paper trail. Ideal for setups, service, HACCP logs, and strike checklists.
Client & Venue Management
Store all client and venue data in one place — contacts, addresses, specs, event history. Managers see everything they need to respond quickly and maintain a high service level. No more lost phone numbers or duplicate Excel sheets.
