About Restaurant Staff Scheduler
Build restaurant schedules in minutes, keep labor costs under control, and run your team from one easy app. Restaurant Staff Scheduler gives independent restaurants, cafés, bars and bakeries the scheduling, time clock, task and messaging tools of a big chain, without the complexity. Managers save hours every week, and employees always know when they work. Build the Schedule, Control the Cost • Auto-Schedule: Fill a week automatically around employee availability and set a cost limit before you start. • Live Labor Cost: See hours and dollars for each day and each shift as you build. • Schedule Templates: Define the staff you need for a busy holiday week or a slow season, then schedule from that template. • Smart Availability: Schedule around time-off requests, unavailable days and preferred days. • Web Sync: Full desktop sync with advanced schedule cost planning and budgeting tools. Easy for Your Whole Team • My Schedule: Every employee sees their shifts, who else is working, and any changes, right on their phone. • Shift Trades and Offers: Employees request, offer and swap shifts in seconds. Managers approve or deny with a tap. • Time-Off and Availability: All requests in one list, so nothing gets lost in a text thread. Know Who Is Working • Mobile Clock-In: Employees check in from their own device, with location-verified check-ins for off-site jobs like catering. • Who's Working: See who is scheduled, clocked in and on a break, live. • Automatic Break Timers: Show when a break started and when it ends. Messaging That Works • Direct and group messages, announcements and contact groups such as Servers or Kitchen Crew. • Automatic shift reminders help cut no-shows and late arrivals. Tasks for Every Shift • Assign prep, opening, cleaning and closing tasks by shift, role or person. • Watch progress live and see who completed each task. Built for Siri and Your Lock Screen • Ask Siri for your shifts, who is working, time off and more. • Next Shift widget for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, plus a live countdown before a shift starts. Built for Food and Hospitality Quick service, casual and fine dining, bars, cafés, bakeries, food trucks, pizzerias and multi-location restaurant groups. Free for Small Teams Every feature is free for up to 10 scheduled employees. Larger teams can upgrade to a very affordable paid plan for unlimited employees, with the same full set of features.

Version 5.8.8 · Updated October 14, 2026
Built for Apple Intelligence: This update brings deeper Siri integration, so you can manage your schedule hands-free. Ask Siri to check your schedule, see who's working, request time off, offer a shift, and more - all without opening the app. Say "Hey Siri, what are my shifts" to get started, or find them all in the Shortcuts app. Your next shift, right on your Lock Screen: Add the new Next Shift widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen to see your next shift at a glance. Start a shift soon? Your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island will show a live countdown automatically. Find your shifts in Spotlight: Swipe down and search "shift" to jump straight to your schedule. Tap, don't dig: Links in your text and push notifications now take you straight to the right screen — approve a time-off request, check a shift offer, or review a request without hunting through menus. Also in this update: • Improved push notifications to open the app in specific screen • Shift reminder works better with Limited Notification Times • General stability and speed improvements
