Broadcast Shifts for Friday night rescues
One tap, every qualified connected server sees it, first confirmed wins. No more waiting on group chat responses.
Restaurants & Food Service
Family restaurants, gastropubs, neighborhood spots. The restaurants where most of the staff also work somewhere else. ShiftSee makes that normal.
The moment that matters
You run a 60-seat neighborhood restaurant with three servers on a typical Friday night. One just called to say her kid is sick. You post in the staff group chat. Two hours later you have two responses, one of them saying 'I'll try' with a question mark. It's 4 PM and you open at 5.
ShiftSee is built for exactly this moment — and for every shift you run between now and the next one.
What you get
One tap, every qualified connected server sees it, first confirmed wins. No more waiting on group chat responses.
Build the weekly schedule, everyone sees their shifts, swaps happen through the app instead of text.
If a server wants to pick up but needs to leave early, they can counter. You accept or find someone else.
Many servers and cooks work at 2-3 restaurants. ShiftSee is the first platform that treats this as normal.

Why ShiftSee works here
Most of your shift work isn't new work. It's the same work, done again. The same weekend crew. The same specialty staff for peak events. The same closers on a Friday night. ShiftSee is built for that reality — every connection you make gets stronger the more you use it, and every shifter's rating and reliability follows them across every business they work with. After six months, you've built a trusted private crew that compounds in value month over month.
