A sample week. Open shifts stay amber until someone takes them.

How it works

Describe your team once. Each week after, fill it, fix it, publish it.

  1. 01

    Describe your team once

    Tell the assistant who works for you, the roles they cover, when they can work and their weekly hour limit. Then say what each day needs. Stratum Shifts keeps it all, so next week starts from this one.

    In the chatAna and Ben are baristas, Cara cooks. Ana can’t work weekends. Every day we need a barista and a cook from 7 to 3.

  2. 02

    Fill and fix the week

    Ask it to fill the week. Open shifts go to people who are free, hold the role and have hours left, spread fairly. Anything that breaks a rule is flagged, and you fix it in plain words.

    In the chatFill next week. Then give Ben Thursday off and move Cara to evenings.

  3. 03

    Publish one link

    When the week looks right, publish it. Your team opens one link on their phones, picks their name to see only their shifts, and adds them to their calendar. They do not need an account.

    In the chatPublish the week and give me the link for the team chat.

What it checks

Every rule, checked on every change.

Each flag names the person, the day and the shift, so you know exactly what to fix.

  • Double bookings

    No one is put on two shifts that overlap, including shifts that run past midnight.

  • Time off

    Dates a person has asked off stay off.

  • Availability

    Shifts sit inside the hours each person can work that day.

  • Hour limits

    No one goes over the weekly hours you set for them.

  • Rest between shifts

    At least 8 hours between the end of one shift and the start of the next, or the gap you choose.

  • Roles

    Shifts that need a role go to people who hold it.

  • Uncovered shifts

    Every shift the day needs is counted, and any still open is flagged.

Who it is for

Teams that work in shifts.

  • Cafes
  • Restaurants
  • Shops
  • Salons
  • Clinics
  • Cleaning crews

And any team of 2 to 75 hourly staff, run by the person who builds the week today in a spreadsheet, on paper or in a group chat.

Your data

Your schedule stays yours.

  • Stored on our server

    Your team and schedules are kept on our server, so they are there next week and the week after.

  • Yours to export

    Every week downloads as a CSV file and as calendar files.

  • Deleted when you ask

    Delete your account and every workplace, person and shift goes with it.

  • Staff see only the published week

    The link shows names, times, roles and notes. Never email addresses, availability or time off.
