Early development

Craft Innkeeper Shifts

Digital Shift and Rota management software to help plan you weeks, labour spend, and complete payroll accurately.

Shifts is being developed as a modern workforce planning system for busy hospitality-style operations. The goal is to bring rotas, availability, time tracking, team communication and labour visibility into one connected experience that works smoothly across mobile, desktop and the web.

Cross-device by design Smarter rotas Time tracking Linked to Learn and Cash

The aim

A clearer way to run teams

Built for the real pressures of staffing: getting the rota right, keeping everyone informed, tracking time properly and understanding labour without juggling disconnected systems.

Simple
For managers and staff
Flexible
Across devices and sites
Connected
To operations data
Scalable
As the platform grows
Still very early: This system is in the early stages of development, and the current focus is on building out the core scheduling and time tracking features.
High-impact features

Everything a team needs to stay organised

Shifts is being shaped to cover the everyday essentials of workforce planning, without making managers or staff fight the software.

Smarter rota building

Create clearer schedules faster, with support for recurring patterns, open shifts, role-based planning and the kind of structure that helps reduce staffing clashes.

Cross-device access for everyone

Built around a Kotlin Multiplatform direction, the system is intended to feel at home on mobile, desktop and the web so staff and managers can work from wherever makes sense.

Clearer time tracking

Staff should be able to clock in and out easily, while managers get a cleaner picture of attendance, breaks, lateness and worked time.

Availability, swaps and time off

The vision includes a smoother way for teams to share availability, request leave, pick up open shifts and swap fairly without endless back-and-forth.

Built-in team communication

Schedule changes, announcements and day-to-day updates should live closer to the rota, so people see the right information at the right time.

Stronger accountability on shift

Job-site awareness, location-based clocking and clearer attendance rules are part of the direction for teams that need more confidence around timekeeping.

Why it matters

Better staffing decisions affect the whole business

A good shifts system is not just a rota tool. It shapes staffing costs, operational readiness, team morale and how well each site performs during the week.

Less admin drag

Cut down the time spent fixing schedules, chasing replies and checking hours manually.

Clearer labour control

See staffing through the lens of cost, overtime, coverage and business demand.

A better staff experience

Make it easier for people to know when they work, what changed and what is expected.

Connected platform vision

Designed to work with Learn and Cash

Shifts becomes more powerful when it is not isolated. The long-term value comes from linking staffing, training and site performance into one joined-up operational picture.

With Learn

Match people to readiness

Training links can help managers see more than availability alone, making it easier to rota the right people into the right responsibilities.

With Cash

Connect labour to site performance

Linking shifts with cash and sales context can help managers judge staffing decisions against what is really happening on site, not just what was planned on paper.

Across the platform

One operational story

The bigger goal is a system where staffing, training and financial performance support each other instead of living in separate tools.

Where it is heading

A full-featured workforce platform

The target is broad: not just scheduling, but a complete system that helps teams plan, communicate, track time and understand labour with much less friction.

Multi-site support

For businesses managing different teams, roles and locations from one place.

Role and skills awareness

Help schedule people based on what they can do, not just whether they are free.

Reports and payroll-ready data

Turn worked hours and approved time into cleaner reporting and easier downstream processing.

Rules, fairness and compliance

Support overtime awareness, fairer scheduling and stronger control around shift rules.

The destination

One place to schedule, track, communicate and improve labour control

Shifts is still at the beginning, but the ambition is clear: a cross-device workforce platform that fits naturally beside Learn and Cash as part of one connected operating system.
