Features
Everything the schedule needs to run itself
Auto-scheduling engine
Generates the week from staffing rules, availability, and position coverage. No more blank-grid Sundays.
Shift swap board
Employees post and pick up shifts with manager approval. Replaces the 'can anyone cover Friday?' group text.
Digital timecards
One tap to clock in or out from any device. Managers and admins review and correct timecards before payroll — no more screenshots.
Permit tracking
Food handler expirations surface before inspectors do. Stay compliant without a spreadsheet.
Time-off requests
Approved requests automatically block the auto-scheduler. Managers stop forgetting and re-explaining.
Manager broadcasts
Push announcements, policy updates, and urgent staffing calls to the whole team or filtered groups.
Position-based scheduling
Define line cook, server, host, bartender — schedule by role, not just by person.
Onboarding wizard
Capture role, rate, availability, and certifications cleanly when a new hire walks in.
Payroll-ready exports
Hours and tips export as CSV for import into your payroll provider. Direct API integrations on the roadmap.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Most managers are fully set up in under 15 minutes. You add your shifts and positions, invite your team by phone number or email, and publish your first schedule. There's no onboarding call required — the setup wizard walks you through every step.
ShiftHeat is a progressive web app — employees open it in their phone's browser, tap "Add to Home Screen," and it works like a native app with no App Store download required. They get push notifications, clock-in, messaging, and schedule access all from the same icon.
ShiftHeat doesn't run payroll itself. It calculates hours, overtime, wages, and tips, and exports them as a CSV for import into your payroll provider, which handles taxes, deductions, and paychecks.
Yes. ShiftHeat runs on Supabase infrastructure backed by AWS, with row-level security so each restaurant's data is fully isolated. All connections are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. We publish a full privacy policy, terms of service, and data processing addendum — all available in the app.
Yes — no contracts, no cancellation fees. Cancel from your account settings at any time. You keep full access to every feature through the end of your current billing period, and your data is exportable at any point.
