About Shyftz
We got tired of watching good managers lose their evenings to a spreadsheet.
Shyftz started as a side conversation between a few of us who had either managed hourly staff ourselves or watched a friend do it badly with sticky notes and a shared spreadsheet. The rota always seemed to be the thing that ate a manager's Sunday night.
Where we are right now
Shyftz is a small, early-stage team building the first version of the product. We're in pre-launch, working closely with a handful of retail, hospitality and trades businesses to get the rota builder, swap flow and cost forecasting right before we open things up more broadly.
That means this site, and the product itself, is a v1. We'd rather be upfront about that than pretend we're further along than we are.
Where we're headed
The goal is simple: make it so a small business manager can build, publish and adjust a rota in the time it used to take just to open the spreadsheet. Everything we build gets measured against that.
If that sounds like a problem you deal with every week, we'd genuinely like to hear from you.
How we work
What matters to us while we build this
Built for small teams
Most rostering software is built for chains with a head office and an HR department. We're building for the manager who does the rota themselves, between everything else.
Fewer clicks, not more features
We'd rather ship a rota builder that takes twenty minutes to learn than one with two hundred settings nobody uses.
Talk to real managers
Every feature so far has come out of a conversation with someone who actually builds a rota every week. We're keeping it that way.
