ExpoShift: Restaurant Shifts

Build next week's schedule in minutes — then get back to running your floor.

ExpoShift is scheduling, the time clock, tips and payroll, and the building itself — built for restaurants by people who've owned, operated, and managed them. If you run one or two locations, you don't need an enterprise platform with a three-week setup. You need the schedule done before the dinner rush, the tip sheet right, and one place where your team, certifications, and equipment aren't scattered across a spreadsheet, a group chat, and a printout by the POS.

Set up in about 15 minutes: add your positions, import your staff list from a spreadsheet, publish your first week. No IT. No training. No credit card to start.

SCHEDULING THAT FITS A RESTAURANT

Position-based scheduling — servers, hosts, line, expo, dish, whatever your floor runs

Auto Draft builds the week from availability, fair hours, and who's qualified — you review, adjust, post

Guardrails: no double-booking, and minors never land outside legal hours or their school calendar

Staff cover themselves: hand off a shift, put it up for grabs, or give away just the second half — instant or with your approval

Availability with rules you set — submission window, cutoff, blackout dates — and reminders before staff miss them

Shift History: every edit, hand-off, claim, and approval, who did it and when

TIME CLOCK & TIMESHEETS

Staff clock in and out from their Home screen, with an optional geofence

Two positions in a day? One tap switches roles at the clock; a forgot-to-switch check catches the rest

Timesheets show only what needs a look — missing punches, corrections, variances — with one-tap verify

PAYROLL, TIPS & COMP

Tip pools split by the hours actually worked on each station

Pay periods build from real punches, lock when reviewed, and export as a file your payroll provider imports

Wages stay admin-only. Real hourly earnings by position, who's due for a raise, and a raise given in two taps

POS SYNC & INSIGHTS

Connect your POS once and each night's sales and tips fill your tip pools and reports

Top items, server rankings, ticket times by hour, and a Labor tab that shows what the week costs before you publish

Run a system we haven't connected yet? Tell us — connections are built to order wherever there's an API

FOOD & SUPPLIES ORDER GUIDE (BETA)

Vendors, storage areas, and pars in one list — or a simple list where you walk the shelf and type what to order

Shop one vendor at a time: check-off, carry-over when a store is out, per-vendor prices that route each item to the cheapest known. Works offline

CERTIFICATIONS & DOCUMENTS

Food handler and alcohol-service cards with expiration reminders, and a photo of the card for the "inspector is here" moment

Handbooks and policies in front of staff, with a record of who acknowledged

YOUR BUILDING, MAINTAINED

Check off the equipment you own and get an example maintenance calendar — hoods, walk-ins, fryers, grease traps — that you customize to your equipment, vendors, and local requirements

Assigned tasks, escalating reminders, and a service log with costs and vendors — the paper trail your fire marshal and insurer ask for

YOUR WHOLE TEAM, ONE APP

Direct messages and position channels, announcements, polls, and a monthly newsletter that drafts itself

Recognition built in — shout-outs, points for what you want more of, and monthly rewards your team picks

MANAGER AND ADMIN CONTROL

Set approvals, swap rules, break rules, and minor guardrails once — ExpoShift holds the line every week

Managers open "Today": what's waiting on them first, then the cards they use most

TRY IT FREE 30 days free. No credit card. If it doesn't change how you run your floor, walk away.

ExpoShift is a business tool for restaurant operators and their teams. Staff accounts are created by the restaurant — employees don't sign up on their own.
