Free for owners who run shifts
They find the cover. You say yes.
A short shift costs you money: a closed station, slower service, overtime, or you on the floor. shifty hands the search to the team. Only people who can actually take it see it. Give-up and swap are free. If they need a stronger pull, they fund a bounty from their wallet, not from yours.
What it costs you now
You are the coverage desk.
Someone drops a shift and you become the switchboard. Messages, guesses, "I might make it." Meanwhile the station is thin, or you close it, or you work it. Two people say yes to the same hour, and one shows up for nothing. You do not lack a roster. You lack a way to fill a hole without spending the whole evening on it.
What changes
The team fills the hole. You decide.
The week goes up once
Branches, qualifications, assignments. No group chat per store. No photo of a spreadsheet.
Whoever cannot work, posts
Give it up, swap, or add a bounty. The bounty comes from the person who wants out, not from your wage budget.
Only people who can take it, see it
Qualification, branch, overlapping shifts. No texts to people already working or missing the skill.
You approve once
One person gets it. The assignment moves. No double booking. You are not in the middle of the thread.
Why it is free for the business
The expensive part is an empty shift, not the software.
The schedule, invites, the market, approval on your phone, and hours that stayed staffed: no subscription. People cover for free when they can. A bounty is optional, and only paid bounties carry a fee. You do not pay us to stop being the dispatcher.
What actually moves for you
- The shift stays staffed
Coverage from the market instead of running short, closing a station, or stepping in yourself.
- You stop being the dispatcher
They post. Eligible people claim. You approve or reject from your phone.
- No wasted asks
Already booked, wrong branch, or missing the qualification: they never see the offer.
- Nobody shows up twice
One winning claim. After you approve, the assignment moves in the system, not in a chat.
- Coverage with no extra cash from you
Give-up and swap are free. A lot of holes close without a shekel from the business.
- When money helps, it is not yours
A bounty from the person leaving. You are not throwing a manager bonus at every cancellation.
Let the team find the cover.
Open a free organization. Invite the team. Next time someone drops, you approve instead of hunting.
