Dayswaps
Shift scheduling for cafés

A small café team doesn't need an oversized tool

A handful of regular baristas, a few part-timers helping out, no HR department to sort it out. Dayswaps handles the rota and availability for a team of just a few people — the Basic plan works out at €1.54 per user with the discount on annual billing, and the AI assistant is included from the first cent. Attendance comes with the Complete plan.

What is shift scheduling for a café?

Shift scheduling for a café means building a rota for a small team where often nobody has a fixed shift, coping with frequent changes, and doing all of it in a simple tool that needs neither an HR department nor IT.

How much does a shift scheduling app for a café cost?

The Basic plan works out at €1.54 per user per month with the discount on annual billing, and the AI assistant is included from the first koruna. The first 14 days are free, with no credit card needed.

AI + Human

Ask who is free on Friday

“Which of the part-timers is free on Friday afternoon?” The assistant checks availability and lists who could take it — and if nobody can, it posts the shift to the whole team. No texting five people and waiting to see who answers first. Nothing reaches the schedule until you confirm it.

From the Complete plan up you can also ask for a custom report to download — “How many weekend hours did each employee work last quarter?” — and the file arrives right in the reply.

The AI Assistant is part of every plan.
