The best teams don't run on a group chat.
Too many good businesses are still run out of a WhatsApp group. Shifts in one chat, cover in another, hours in a notebook, contracts in a drawer. It works — until it doesn't.

Eight tools in one app. One plan at £3.99 per active person. Fourteen days free. And all of your data, yours.
We give small businesses — the pubs, cafés, shops and care teams that run on shifts — the kind of software big chains pay a fortune for, without the cost or the complexity. Less admin, fewer no-shows, and Sunday nights back.
What we believe.
Simple beats clever
If a busy manager can't use it during a Friday rush, it doesn't ship. One app, no manual, no training day.
A fair price
£3.99 per active person, per month, for your first 10 people, then £1.49 for each extra person. Everything included, no add-ons, no “contact sales” — and it scales as you do.
Security isn't optional
We hold pay rates, hours and contracts. Encryption, two-factor sign-in and GDPR-ready exports are the baseline, not an upsell.
Set up in minutes
Doing it properly used to mean spreadsheets and setup fees. Now it takes minutes, so running a tidy operation is the easy choice.
