Time can be bought.
Save 3 hours a week on admin. Let Shifta handle the roster so you can focus on your café.
How it works
Staff submit availability via Slack
No chasing. Staff send their N/As to a dedicated channel and Shifta collects them automatically.
AI builds the optimal roster
Balances skill, cost, hours, and availability. Your roster is ready in seconds, not hours.
Posts directly to Slack
One click and your team has the roster. Every staff member gets a DM with their shifts.
Sick day? Sorted automatically
Shifta finds the best replacement, contacts them via Slack, and updates the roster if they accept.
You choose the mode
Cheapest, Balanced, Quality First, or Fair Rotation. Set it once and Shifta follows your rules.
You run the café, not the spreadsheet
Stop juggling last-minute N/As and who-can-work-when. Shifta absorbs the churn so you’re not rebuilding the roster every time someone’s sick or swaps a shift.
Rosters that match how you run your venue
Shifta isn’t one-size-fits-all. Pick how you want labour planned — then layer your house rules so every week lines up with how you actually operate.
Roster styles
- Cheapest — lean into lower wage cost when the week allows.
- Balanced — mix of cost and experience for typical service.
- Quality first — prioritise skill and coverage on busy shifts.
- Fair rotation — spread hours more evenly across the team.
Your rules, built in
- Minimum staff per shift, caps on hours per person, and minimum skill level where it matters.
- Machine-trained barista requirements, under-18 rules after late close, and other compliance-style toggles.
- Weekly labour budget and cost view so you’re not surprised when the roster lands.
- Publish when you’re happy, post to Slack, export a PDF — same roster, your workflow.
