The schedule goes up once. Everything after that runs itself.

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.

Everyone here opened it within the hour. Two swapped Saturday between themselves.

Four things that stop happening

Not features. The moments that eat a manager's week.

“Did you see the new schedule?”

Posting sends it to every phone. You can see who has opened it and who has not, so the answer stops being a guess.

“I can't do Friday, can you find someone?”

They offer the shift themselves. Whoever takes it signs, you approve, and the schedule moves. You are the last step, not the switchboard.

“I told you about my holiday in April.”

Every request is on file with the date it was made, including the ones still waiting. Nothing rests on either of you remembering.

“Wait, I'm on twice at the same time?”

The app flags it while you are building, not when somebody fails to turn up. Availability and approved time off are already accounted for.

A week with Thyft

The same week you already have, with the phone calls taken out.

Wednesday

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.

Wednesday, later

You post it. Everyone's phone buzzes. You can see who opened it.

Thursday

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.

Friday morning

You print the daily list for the wall. It is already filled in from the posted schedule, in the columns your place actually uses.

Any time

Someone questions a swap from two months ago. It is in the records, with both signatures and the times.

Questions people ask

Does my team need to install anything?

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.

Is it only for restaurants?

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.

What happens to a shift somebody gives away?

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.

Can I stop people asking for time off at the last minute?

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.

Does it work in my language?

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.

Is it a timeclock? Does it do payroll?

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.

Who can see what?

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.

Can I get my data out?

Yes, at any time, and we delete it when you ask. It is yours; we hold it to run the service.
