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