Our mission
Make work fit into life.Make life fit into work.
Scheduling decides when people earn a living and when they get to live the rest of their lives. We think getting it right is one of the most underrated ways to make people’s days better.
A huge change nobody talks about.
Lose hours every week holding the schedule together.
Are trying to find the right hours to earn the money they need, while still getting kids to school, making it to class, working a second job and having some kind of life.
That stress is everywhere, on both sides of the schedule, and most people just accept it as part of the job.
If we can make that even 10 or 20% better for everyone, that’s an enormous change for people. That’s why ShiftWerx exists.
Built with more than 100 managers and owners.
Before we built anything, we interviewed well over 100 scheduling managers and business owners: restaurant GMs, store managers and owners running small teams. We asked where the week really goes, what breaks, and what they wish someone would fix.
Then we built a specific answer for every piece of the scheduling process: collecting availability and time off, building the week, and handling the call-outs and swaps that come after it is published.
We’ve written the schedule ourselves.
People on our development team have personally managed staff, built the weekly schedule and lived with the consequences when it went wrong: the Sunday nights spent on it, the Friday call-outs, the conversations about who got which shift.
That’s why ShiftWerx is built around how scheduling works on a real floor, not how it looks in a demo.
What we build by.
Build for how scheduling really works
Availability is more than yes or no. Real schedules run on hard limits, soft preferences, the number of shifts people actually want, and the rules a manager has to hold. ShiftWerx is built around all of it.
Fairness builds trust
Too often the best shifts go to the loudest voice instead of the most reliable person. Clear, consistent rules mean people are recognized for what they do, and everyone can see why.
The job isn’t done when the schedule is published
Life changes after Friday’s schedule goes out. Call-outs, swaps and short-staffed days are part of scheduling, so they are part of ShiftWerx.
Respect the life around the shift
A schedule decides childcare pickups, rides to work, second jobs, classes and time with family. We treat every one of those as real.
Support your judgment, don’t replace it
Auto-schedule is not an AI black box. It follows the rules and weights you set, you can change anything it drafts, and nothing reaches your team until you publish. You stay in control.
Keep it practical
Managers don’t need more software to babysit. Every feature has to save time or remove a headache on a real shift, or it doesn’t ship.
