Build the week, post it, and your team sees it on their phones. They ask for days off and swap shifts in the app. You approve or decline, and the schedule updates on its own.
The apps are on their way. Today Thyft opens in any phone browser, with nothing to install.

Not features. The moments that eat a manager's week.
Posting sends it to every phone. You can see who has opened it and who has not, so the answer stops being a guess.
They offer the shift themselves. Whoever takes it signs, you approve, and the schedule moves. You are the last step, not the switchboard.
Every request is on file with the date it was made, including the ones still waiting. Nothing rests on either of you remembering.
The app flags it while you are building, not when somebody fails to turn up. Availability and approved time off are already accounted for.
The same week you already have, with the phone calls taken out.
You build next week. Tap the cells, or let it fill a first pass using who is available and who has time off. It takes minutes, and nobody sees a thing until you post.
You post it. Everyone's phone buzzes. You can see who opened it.
Ana asks for the 14th off. You approve it and she comes off that day automatically. Bruno offers his Saturday night; Carla takes it. Both sign, you approve, and the grid updates.
You print the daily list for the wall. It is already filled in from the posted schedule, in the columns your place actually uses.
Someone questions a swap from two months ago. It is in the records, with both signatures and the times.
By how many people are on the schedule. Everything is included at every size — there is no plan that hides the useful parts.
More than 250 — talk to us and we will set it up with you.
Free while you try it. Cancel whenever — it stops the next charge, and your data comes with you.
Not today. They open a link, pick a password, and add it to their home screen if they want an icon. It works on any phone with a browser. The App Store and Google Play versions are coming.
No. It started in one, which is why it handles doubles, split shifts and last-minute cover well — but nothing in it is restaurant-specific. You name the positions, the shifts and the columns on your daily sheet. Hotels, bakeries, shops, clinics and warehouses run the same way.
It stays theirs until three things happen: somebody takes it, both sign, and a manager approves. Until then they are still expected to turn up, and the app says so plainly.
Yes. You set how far ahead requests have to come in. Inside that window the schedule is already being built, so a day off has to become a shift swap instead — which is the honest answer anyway.
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Chinese. Each person picks their own, so a kitchen can read one language while the floor reads another. Invitations and emails follow the same choice.
No to both, and deliberately. Thyft is the plan for the week, not a record of hours worked and not a pay calculator. It also does not decide whether a schedule complies with your local employment law — that stays with you.
Managers see everything about the work. Your team sees who is working when, and the chat rooms they belong to — not each other's email, password, or the reason someone gave for a day off. Workplaces never see each other.
Yes, at any time, and we delete it when you ask. It is yours; we hold it to run the service.
Add your positions, add your team, build the week. Free while you try it.
