HOW IT WORKS
From “can you work?” to a clear rota.
Workers answer from a simple calendar. Owners see coverage, rules and open decisions in one place. When nobody fits, the gap stays visible so it can be negotiated—not silently missed.
Let the owner review
Shift Helper considers preferences, rest, weekly limits and holiday rules, then highlights the decisions that still need a person.
Publish one answer
Publish the final rota, notify the team, keep a change trail and let workers request cover when plans change.
FOR OWNERS
Know what is covered—and what is not.
Set staffing needs, add shifts, run Auto-fix, review exceptions and publish only when the month makes sense.
Clear availability
Day status and free-time windows make responses useful for planning.
Rules you can explain
Weekly limits, rest time, preferred days and Japanese holiday settings stay visible.
Human fallback
Post an open shift, ask for cover or edit the assignment when automation reaches a real trade-off.
