Scheduling
Build the week around service, not spreadsheets.
Set up your stations once — host, servers, bar, kitchen — and drag shifts into place. Templates carry your best weeks forward, so Friday dinner staffs itself.
- Role- and station-based scheduling for FOH and BOH
- Auto-fill respects availability, time off, and max hours
- Overtime and understaffing flagged before you publish
Shift swaps
Call-outs handled before the rush.
When a server drops a Friday shift, every qualified teammate is notified instantly. You approve the pickup from your phone — the schedule updates everywhere.
- Open shifts broadcast to qualified, available staff
- Manager approval keeps every change inside your rules
- No more group-text scrambles at 4pm
Labor costs
Keep labor at 28%, not “hopefully fine.”
Projected labor cost updates live as you build. See cost as a percentage of forecast sales per day and per station, and trim before it becomes a payroll surprise.
- Live cost projection while you schedule
- Overtime warnings before they hit payroll
- Export-ready timesheets for your payroll provider
Better together
Works with your stack
Pairs perfectly with TableStack POS.
Pull sales forecasts straight from your POS so labor targets track demand, and push approved timesheets back for payroll — no double entry.
“Fantastic scheduling software! Easy to use with a small staff, and my crew always knows exactly where they need to be.”

Loved by operators
Managers who left the spreadsheet behind.
“We publish the whole week before Friday lunch. The team stopped texting me about hours — they just check the app.”
“A double-book on a Saturday used to ruin the night. Shift Amp catches it before I even hit publish.”
“Swaps used to be a group-text nightmare. Now a dropped shift is usually picked up within the hour.”
FAQ
Restaurant scheduling, answered.
How long does it take to build a weekly schedule?
Most restaurant managers publish a full week in about six minutes once templates are set up. Start from last week, let auto-fill place the easy shifts, then resolve the flagged exceptions.
Can staff swap shifts without me?
Staff can request and volunteer for swaps in the app, but nothing changes until a manager approves it. Every swap is checked against availability, overtime, and role rules automatically.
Does Shift Amp handle both front- and back-of-house?
Yes. Schedule by role and station — host, server, bar, line, prep — with separate views per team and one combined view for managers.
What does it cost for a single location?
Teams of up to 10 staff are free forever. Past 10 people it is $2 per user, per month, and every feature is in both plans.

Why status color should never travel alone
Our accessibility rule for shift status: every color pairs with an icon or label, so meaning survives grayscale and color-blindness.
