Scheduling for restaurants, cafés and bars

A restaurant week is not eight hours a day, five days a week. It is a Friday that needs three more people than a Tuesday, a line that cannot be one short at seven o'clock, and a roster that turns over faster than any other trade.

Free during testing · $49 a month flat when billing opens

Weeksolved drafts a week for servers, line cooks, hosts, bussers and bartenders from the rules you set, checks it against your state's meal and rest break rules as you draft, and flags the rule that stopped each person when a shift cannot be filled. It costs one flat price for the location, and your staff never need an account.

The rush is the whole problem

A restaurant does not need the same number of people all day, and a tool that thinks in whole shifts will always be wrong at six o'clock. Weeksolved schedules to coverage you set hour by hour — two on the floor at four, five at seven, three again at ten — and tells you the exact half-hours where you are short before the week goes up, not after somebody walks out on a Saturday.

Splits, doubles and the long day

Set a split shift and the day sheet shows it as two blocks with the gap between, so nobody reads a 10-to-10 and assumes twelve hours on the floor. Turnaround rules stop a close-then-open landing on the same person, and the check reads across the week boundary, so closing Sunday and opening Monday is caught rather than hidden by the calendar.

Meal breaks that land where your state's rules say

Pick your state and every meal is drafted to your state's rule with rest breaks laid around it, staggered so the floor never drops below your minimum while somebody eats. Where your state allows a meal to be waived, you can set that shift by shift, or per person for anyone with a signed waiver on file. A shift that runs five minutes past a meal line says so and offers to end on the line.

Turnover doesn't cost you anything

Front of house turns over. If you pay per user per month, every hire and every leaver is a billing event, and by the end of a season you are paying for people who left in the spring. Weeksolved is one flat price for the restaurant, whatever the headcount, and a person who leaves is set aside — off every schedule, their history kept — rather than deleted.

Nobody has to download anything

Kitchen staff will not reliably install an app, and the person who most needs Sunday's schedule is usually the one who never made a password. Weeksolved has one account: yours. The schedule goes out as a text, an email, a printout for the pass, or a calendar file that drops the shifts into the phone they already carry.

The opening and closing lists ride with the day

Temperature logs, the walk-in, firing the line, breaking it down, the drop. Write those once and they show on every day sheet with tick boxes, against whoever actually opens and closes that day rather than a name you set in January.

What it will not do

If what you actually need is punches and tips feeding payroll from one place, that is a time-and-attendance product. Weeksolved schedules the week and exports hours and overtime per person as a spreadsheet; bring your own pay rates. Weeksolved is scheduling software, not legal advice. It applies the rules you select; you stay in charge of your own compliance, and you should review every schedule before you post it.

What it costs

One flat price per location — $49 a month, or $470 a year — whatever the headcount, at one location or ten. No per-user fees, no paid admin seats, no charge for the manager who covers weekends. Break rules are included, not an upgrade. During testing it is free with an access code.
