The operating system for your restaurant.
Sales, labour, prime cost, forecasting, the pre-shift, the staff handbook — all in one place that actually knows your restaurant. Built by an operator, for the 1–15 location independent.
Connects with the tools you already run
The seven tabs
What you're using right now. And what Shiftend replaces.
Most independents are running seven tools at once. Each one needed integration, training, and an export. Shiftend collapses the seven into one login.

Three products, one platform
Pick the surface you're looking for. They share a backbone.
Shiftend is one platform shaped for three audiences: the manager running the floor, the staff working the shift, and the owner who wants to know before something breaks.
Platform
Manager-facing modules. Dashboard, Revenue, Labour, POS, Budget, Prime Cost, Calendar, Pre-Shift, Reservations, Shift-End Report — connected, in real time.
Explore Platform
Team
The staff side. Pre-shift in their pocket, training tracked, certs flagged before they expire, handbooks that work on the floor.

Intelligence
PremiumAI Alerts catch anomalies overnight — revenue dips, labour overage, expiring certs. Forecasting trained on YOUR data, not someone else's.

Prime Cost the way operators actually do it.
Weekly and monthly tabs share one source of truth. Straddle weeks split cleanly at month boundaries. Cascade reopen keeps downstream periods honest. No spreadsheet in the world does this.
- Weekly and monthly tabs share the same numbers, period.
- Straddle weeks split at the month boundary — no double-counting.
- Cascade reopen recalculates every downstream period automatically.
- Slide-over inventory editor — never leave the page to fix a number.
From the founder
“Sunday night. The kitchen's clean. You're on the office computer trying to figure out if you made money this week. Three browser tabs, two spreadsheets, an inbox of attachments. There has to be a better way.”
Shiftend's founder spent two decades managing fine-dining floors in Toronto. Shiftend is the platform he wanted and couldn't buy.

Why Shiftend
We built the tool we wished we had.
Shiftend's founder ran hospitality operations for years. The tools available were built for accountants, franchise head offices, or software buyers — not the person on the floor Monday morning trying to cost out last weekend.
vs Lineup.ai
Lineup is a scheduling tool with forecasting bolted on. Shiftend is the platform; scheduling is one of its modules. Forecasting is wired to your real POS and labour data — not a stand-alone model.
vs MarketMan
MarketMan does inventory well. That's all it does. Shiftend does inventory and the rest of your operation under one login — sales, labour, prime cost, pre-shift, customer.
vs 7shifts / Push Operations
Those run shifts and payroll well — but they don't see your sales, your prime cost, your pre-shift, or your customer. Shiftend ingests their data and connects the rest.
vs Restaurant365
R365 is enterprise accounting with a restaurant skin, priced for hotel groups. Shiftend is built for independents and small groups, at a fraction of the price and complexity.
Case study
A real restaurant, a real backtest.
We backtested Shiftend's forecasting on a live independent restaurant before shipping a paid customer. Weekly revenue MAPE beat the operator's own spreadsheet forecasts by a wide margin. Public case study lands the moment its consent does.
Run your restaurant like it's 2026.
We're onboarding a small group of restaurant partners for early access. A 20-minute call, your data on screen, and you'll know if Shiftend is for you.
