ExpoShift: Restaurant Shifts

Build next week's schedule in minutes — then get back to running your floor.

ExpoShift is scheduling, team management, and facility maintenance built for restaurants, by people who've owned, operated, and managed restaurants. If you run one or two locations, you don't need an enterprise workforce platform with a three-week setup. You need the schedule done before the dinner rush — and one place where your team, your certifications, and your equipment aren't scattered across a spreadsheet, a group chat, and a printout taped by the POS.

Most operators are up and scheduling in under 10 minutes. No IT. No training. No credit card to start.

SCHEDULING THAT FITS A RESTAURANT

• Position-based scheduling — servers, hosts, line, expo, dish, or whatever your floor actually runs

• Auto Draft builds the week for you — start from a template or last week, and the engine fills every open shift around availability, time off, preferred hours, and who's qualified for the role

• Guardrails built in: no double-booking across positions, and minors are never auto-placed outside legal work-hour limits. Nothing publishes until you say so — you review, adjust, post

• Copied last week and inherited conflicts? One tap re-assigns just the problem shifts and leaves the clean ones alone

• Hand a shift to a teammate or put it up for grabs — staff sort out coverage themselves, with manager approval where you want it

• Availability and time-off requests in one place, with submission deadlines you set and automatic reminders before staff miss them

• Every claimable shift visible to every qualified teammate — nothing slips through a group text

CERTIFICATIONS, HANDLED

• Track food handler and alcohol-service cards with expiration reminders — no more expired certs discovered by an inspector

• Photograph the actual cards and pull any of them up in two taps when the health department or liquor authority walks in

• Export compliance reports for local and state agencies straight from the app

YOUR BUILDING, MAINTAINED

• Build a preventive-maintenance plan for your whole facility in under ten minutes — hoods, walk-ins, fryers, grease traps, water heaters, and more

• Code-required service intervals included, with the citations that back them

• Assign tasks to one person or several — first to finish clears it for everyone, and reminders escalate as due dates near

• A running service log with costs and vendors — the paper trail your fire marshal and insurance adjuster actually ask for

• Equipment records with serial numbers and service contacts, so 2am breakdowns start with a phone number, not a search

YOUR WHOLE TEAM, ONE APP

• Team directory with roles, contact info, and certifications

• Built-in chat: direct messages and team channels, with drafts that survive a mid-message interruption

• Updates, polls, and a monthly newsletter to reach the whole crew without a bulletin board

• Recognition built in — spotlights, shout-outs, and rewards that help you keep good people

MANAGER AND ADMIN CONTROL

• Set your scheduling rules once — ExpoShift holds the line every week

• Approvals routed to the right manager, and admin control over exactly what each manager can do

• When someone leaves, one flow reassigns their shifts and their maintenance tasks — nothing falls through the cracks
