Sound Familiar?

Every restaurant manager has lived through at least one of these. Most deal with all three, every week.

A cook calls in sick 2 hours before service — who do you call?

You're already doing prep and now you're also your own staffing agency. You go through your contact list, send a dozen messages, and still might open short-handed. Open shift broadcasting lets available staff self-assign — without you lifting a finger.

Your schedule is buried in a group chat no one checks

The schedule you posted Monday gets buried under 200 messages by Tuesday. Staff show up for the wrong shift, miss the right one, or claim they never saw the update. A dedicated staff app with push notifications fixes this permanently.

Split shifts and variable hours make payroll a nightmare

A waiter works 11:00–15:00 then 18:00–23:00. A kitchen porter does four shifts under 4 hours each. Calculating their hours, breaks, and overtime manually every month is time-consuming and error-prone. proShift tracks it automatically.

How proShift Solves It

Open Shift Broadcasting

Post an open slot and available staff get a push notification instantly. The first person to claim it gets assigned automatically — no calls, no back-and-forth. Works for last-minute gaps and planned open slots alike.

Schedule Templates

Save your typical Monday-to-Sunday layout as a named template — 'Standard Week', 'Summer Weekend', 'Ramadan Hours'. Republish any template in two clicks. Build next week's schedule in the time it takes to pour a coffee.

Automatic Hours Tracking

proShift tracks split shifts, breaks, and accumulated overtime for every staff member. Payroll totals are ready at the end of each period — no manual calculations, no disputes over hours worked.

"Sunday used to be my least favourite day — I'd spend two hours building the schedule and still get something wrong. Now I do it in 15 minutes and the team actually reads it because it's on their phone."
