TEAM INPUTS
Know when the team can work before you build the rota.
An availability app should make the next scheduling decision easier, not create another inbox. Shift Helper gives people a focused way to share available times, blocked days and useful preferences before an owner reviews coverage.
Request Shift Helper early access ↗Collect the detail a rota actually needs
“Can you work?” is rarely enough. A useful answer includes the day, the time window, a preference and any context that changes the decision.
Available times
Show when a person can take a shift, not just whether they are free.
Blocked days
Record unavailable periods before they become a last-minute clash.
Helpful notes
Keep requests and preferences beside the schedule context.
Turn responses into a published schedule
- Open the next period and its coverage needs.
- Collect availability from the team.
- Review gaps, overlaps and exceptions.
- Publish the schedule once the owner is satisfied.
Less chasing, better handoffs
Shift Helper is for cafés, restaurants, retail teams, salons and studios that want to replace “reply in the group chat” with a calmer scheduling rhythm.
