Sunday night is not Excel night. It's rest night.
If you run a restaurant, you know the ritual: Sunday evening, the spreadsheet open, last week's schedule duplicated, then the WhatsApp messages start. Lucas is suddenly off Wednesday. The new dishwasher has a job interview Thursday. The schedule was finalised twenty minutes ago and is already wrong.
SuperShift exists because that ritual is dumb. Every restaurant in the world does the same dance with the same problems and somehow nobody built a tool that just respects how a restaurant actually works.
Front, back, dish — separate but together
A schedule that mixes server names, line cooks and dishwashers in one alphabetical list is unreadable. SuperShift groups by role: you see your front of house in one block, kitchen in another, dish in another. The whole week fits on one screen.
When you're scanning Saturday night, you can see at a glance: do I have enough servers? Is the line covered? Did I remember a dishwasher this time? It's the same information Excel gives you, except you don't have to read across forty cells to find a hole.
Splits and double shifts
A line cook doing 11–3 and 6–11 is one person on one day with two blocks. Not two part-time contracts. Not two separate shifts to add up at the end of the week. You drag two blocks onto the same person and the system knows.
End-of-week hours per person are correct the first time. No mental arithmetic. No "wait, did I count that lunch service?"
The Thursday-at-five sous chef call-out
Most weeks something breaks. Your sous chef texts at 5pm Thursday saying he's sick. In Excel: panic, WhatsApp blast to four cooks, hope someone replies before service.
In SuperShift you open the schedule on your phone, see who has hours left this week and marked themselves available, message them from the app. Not faster than WhatsApp, but with the guarantee that you didn't accidentally double-book three people.
Questions we get a lot
Can I see hours per role for the week?
Yes. The week view shows total hours per person and per role, so you spot when your kitchen is over-staffed or your floor is short before you publish.
Does it work for split shifts?
Yes — a split is two blocks on the same day for the same person. They count as one day, totalled together.
Can my line cooks see their schedule on their phones?
Yes. It's a web app, no install needed. They log in, they see the week, they get notified when something changes.
How much does it cost for a 15-person restaurant?
Nothing. Up to 20 staff you stay on the free plan, no time limit, no payment details required.
Test it with your real schedule for next week. Two minutes to sign up, ten minutes to enter your team, then drag shifts. If it's not better than your spreadsheet, you've spent twelve minutes.
