Before the doors open
Small venues need one coherent week plan — not another tool that takes a month to configure.
Someone calls in sick and the floor gap stays uncertain until you rebuild the sheet or chase replies.
Everyone sees a different version. You explain the schedule instead of running service.
Mixing full-time, contractors, and doubles without a clear week view makes mistakes easy.
Nobody is sure who has keys and who stays for breakdown — because the plan lived in too many places.
One board, one link — so the floor stops asking and you stop rebuilding. See how it works
We ran shifts on spreadsheets too. InShifts exists so you can start fast, stay in control of how much you configure, and never pay for HR modules you will not open.
Built for the floor · Loved by managers
Four core modules on day one — expand for portal, overview, and more when you need them.
Drag shifts across people and days — no copy-paste cells. Filter by Floor, Bar, or Kitchen. Switch to By person when you need hours per name. Templates and saved weeks are there when you want them, not on day one.
One staff link for the floor — read-only, always current after you republish. Diff preview before you send. Print the week or export CSV for the back office.
Set minimum headcount per team and time window — e.g. two on Floor from 5 PM on Friday. The day heatmap flags understaffed slots in red and shows gap minutes at a glance.
Each employee gets a private link to see only their week — or their team, or the whole venue, whatever you allow. They confirm they've read the schedule and request time off from their phone.
Publish a read-only week link. Staff open it on their phone — no group chat, no screenshot thread.
No card · 10 staff free forever
No rollout, no training deck, no mandatory settings — most venues publish their first real week the same day they sign up.
Servers, bar, kitchen — names and teams on one list. Not twelve tabs and a group chat.
Roster ready
Drag shifts, spot gaps, hit publish. The crew opens a link — no installs, no screenshot thread.
Crew has tonight's plan
Sick call at 4 PM? Move the shift on the board. The link you already sent stays current.
One source of truth
Free up to 10 staff, always · same flow on every plan
This is not a promised ROI — just a simple time-cost estimate so the scale is visible. You know your real hours and rate best.
Use loaded wage, owner time, or replacement cost — whatever matches how you think about the hour.
Solo costs less than one manager hour per month on annual billing — if InShifts saves even one hour a week, it pays back fast.
At your rate, one saved hour/week is about 7× the Solo plan — before fewer mistakes on the floor.
You're already spending about $607/mo on scheduling time at these settings.

Enterprise schedulers bundle payroll, clock-in, and HR modules you may never open. InShifts does the weekly board — simple by default, deep only when you choose.
