For restaurants

Right people, right place, at the right time

ShiftBuzz brings your staff, shifts, availability, positions and labour data into one system. From the kitchen to the floor, everyone knows where they need to be and when.

The service day

You staff a day, not a week

Lunch, turnover and dinner are three different restaurants. ShiftBuzz builds the week per position, so each service gets the cover it actually needs.

The pale block on Floor is an open shift — it goes out to everyone qualified, and the first to accept takes it.

Front of house and kitchen, on one schedule

Two halves of the same service that have never shared a plan. Now they do — per position, not per person.

Back of house

  • Prep, line and pass as separate positions, each with its own cover
  • Only staff trained on a station can be scheduled to it
  • Split shifts and doubles without a second spreadsheet
  • Hours and labour cost per station, every service

Front of house

  • Lunch and dinner staffed to the covers you expect, not to habit
  • Sections, host and bar planned together
  • Open shifts go out to everyone qualified at once
  • Staff swap between themselves; you only approve

More than one room

Labour you can read
