Where ShiftPriority is different
Four things that matter to restaurants, bars and cafés in Germany.
Made for Germany
German and English throughout, and every shift is checked against German working-time rules before it is saved.
SumUp as well as Square
Connect SumUp or Square and sales plus card tips flow in automatically, so tip splits and labor cost use real numbers.
Hosted in the EU
The app and its data run in Frankfurt, each business is isolated at the database level, and a data processing agreement is published.
Schedule, tips and labor cost together
The same schedule feeds tip splits and labor cost as a share of revenue, so hours are never typed in twice.
