WhenShift's front page

For restaurants and other places that run on hourly staff

WhenShift is employee scheduling software for the US, Canada and the UK. Your staff get the week on their phones with nothing to install, cover their own shifts, and the hours they clock go to your payroll.

From sign-up to a published week

In your first hour you sign up with Google, add your staff by phone number and publish the week. Each of them gets their shifts by text, and you see who has them.
