We start with locations, areas, finance-week cutoffs, manager roles, and how schedules are published today.

About
We build the schedule USA operators can defend
Heyshift is publish-first workforce scheduling for teams that run shifts across locations, areas, and finance weeks. Planners, supervisors, and finance share one roster instead of competing tabs.
Four rules that stay on the roster
We do not add another calendar. We make the published week the one surface operators, staff, and finance already argue about.
01
Publish-first truth
The published schedule is the record managers, supervisors, and finance can point to. Changes route through approvals instead of side channels.
02
Finance-week alignment
Scheduled hours and labor signals sit beside the week leaders already use to close payroll and explain operating cost.
03
Floor-native structure
Locations and named areas map to how teams run coverage, from FOH and BOH to docks, wings, clinics, and routes.
04
Rollout before ceremony
Pilots prove templates, manager seats, notification rules, and local exceptions before a wider launch.
The published week, and every signal around it
Scheduling, locations, attendance, leave, labor, communication, and mobile sit in one roster. Open any capability for the Quick view operators use to decide what to pilot first.

Open feature
Buyer trust
What operators check before they trust a new roster
USA buyers evaluate more than a feature list. They need to know how roster data is handled, what a pilot costs, and whether the system scales without another shadow process.
Security and roster data
Hosted app, authenticated access, encrypted transport, and a clear path for privacy questions. Schedules, leave, and attendance stay scoped to the right teams.
Procurement and seats
Seat mix, plan tier, annual billing, and rollout support are written down before teams commit. Staff mobile access is included. Paid seats are for planners.
Multi-site fit
Buyers check regions, locations, areas, finance weeks, and who can publish. Supervisors and mobile staff should know what changes after the first week.
Start narrow. Prove the week. Then expand.
We are most useful when operators bring the messy details: sites, roles, publish deadlines, approval habits, and the reports finance asks for every week.
Step 02
02Pilot with real constraints
