For Restaurants

Stop managing your restaurant with spreadsheets and group texts.

Schedule shifts in minutes, verify attendance with GPS, handle call-outs with shift swaps, track labor costs in real time, and run payroll from approved hours. One system for your entire restaurant team.

1 month free · Setup in 5 minutes

Restaurant managers lose 5+ hours per week on scheduling alone.

Between building the weekly schedule, chasing employees about availability, filling last-minute call-outs, fixing payroll errors from manual timesheets, and managing time-off requests over text — the operational overhead is enormous. Staffapp.ai replaces all of it with one connected system.

Built for how restaurants actually work

“GPS clock-in caught two employees logging hours they weren’t actually working. Staffapp paid for itself in week one.”

Frequently asked questions

Can I schedule different roles (server, cook, host) on the same shift?+

Yes. Create shifts with any title and assign them to employees by role. Your weekly grid shows everyone at a glance — front of house, back of house, and management.

How does GPS clock-in work for restaurants?+

Set a geofence around your restaurant. Employees clock in from their phone when they arrive. If they are not inside the geofence, they cannot clock in. No buddy punching, no early clock-ins from the parking lot.

Can employees swap shifts themselves?+

Yes. When someone cannot cover their shift, they release it to the swap marketplace. Other team members claim it. You approve with one tap. No more group texts or phone trees.

Does it work for multiple restaurant locations?+

Yes. The Growth plan supports multiple worksites, each with its own geofence, schedule, and team. Manage everything from one dashboard.

Is it available in Spanish?+

Yes. Full English and Spanish support across the entire platform — perfect for bilingual restaurant teams.
