Do servers and kitchen staff need the app?

There is no app. Everyone gets a private link by text or email and taps their availability in the browser. New hires are on the system the moment you have their number.

Can I schedule front of house and back of house separately?

Yes. Shifts carry roles, so a bartender isn't drafted onto the grill. Coverage is set per role per shift: three servers and two cooks for Friday dinner means exactly that.

What happens when someone calls out after the schedule is posted?

Update the week and republish. Everyone's schedule link always shows the current version, and you can push the update out by text so nobody's working from a screenshot.

Restaurants, cafés & bars

Staff scheduling for restaurants, cafés & bars. No app required.

Front of house, back of house, and a bar crew whose availability changes weekly: restaurant scheduling is a moving target. Schedule's Up replaces the group-chat scramble with one link per person. Servers and line cooks tap what they can work, and you publish a week that actually covers the floor.

Sound familiar?

The group chat is not a system

Availability arrives as texts, DMs, and a note taped to the register. By Thursday you're scheduling from memory, and someone always swears they told you about their exam.

Servers won't install workforce apps

High-turnover staff shouldn't need an account, a password, and a tutorial just to say when they can work. A link they can tap between tables is the most adoption you'll ever get.

Coverage isn't headcount

Friday dinner needs three servers, two cooks, and a bartender, not six warm bodies. The draft has to know the difference and tell you where the week is thin.

The schedule changes after it's posted

Swaps, call-outs, a private party on Saturday. When the week shifts, everyone needs the current version instead of a photo of last Tuesday's whiteboard.

How it works

Set the week's shifts

Lunch, dinner, opening, closing. Lay out the shifts and how many of each role every one needs, then save it as a template so next week takes minutes instead of an evening.

Text every crew member a link

Each server, cook, and bartender gets a private link by SMS or email. They tap available, preferred, or can't for each shift, from the bus or the walk-in or wherever they happen to be.

Publish a week that covers the floor

One click drafts the schedule against your coverage, flags the understaffed Friday dinner, and explains every conflict. Fix what needs fixing, hit publish, and everyone gets their shifts by text.

A week at a busy café

A café with fourteen staff (baristas, kitchen, and weekend counter help) used to burn most of Sunday building the week in a spreadsheet, then repost it twice as texts trickled in. Now availability links go out Thursday and responses land by Friday lunch. The draft takes one click, the two conflicts it finds are real, and the schedule is on everyone's phone before close. Nobody downloaded anything.
