## Spreadsheets weren't built for restaurant shifts

Most restaurants still run scheduling on Excel, WhatsApp, and paper printouts taped to the kitchen wall. It works - until it doesn't.

### Out of date by Tuesday

One sick call or shift swap and the printed schedule on the wall no longer matches reality.

### No record of who agreed to what

Shift changes happen over text messages that get lost, leaving managers to referee disputes from memory.

### Hours of admin every week

Building the roster, copying last week's pattern, and chasing replies eats into time you don't have.

### Staff are always asking

“Am I working Friday?” texts pile up because there's no single place your team can check for themselves.

## One schedule your whole team can trust

ShiftPriority replaces the spreadsheet with a shift planner built specifically for restaurants, cafés, and bars.

### Build the week in minutes

Drag shifts onto a clean weekly grid, or copy last week's pattern as a starting point.

### Publish with one click

Drafts stay private until you publish - then every employee is notified by email automatically.

### Staff check their own phone

Employees sign in with their own email and password to see their shifts - no app to install, no more guesswork.

### Bring your current roster in

AI Import reads a pasted list, photo, PDF, or spreadsheet of your existing team and drafts it for you to review.
