The schedule, the time clock, tips and payroll, your sales numbers, and the building itself — in one app your whole team actually opens.
No credit card required · $49 / month per location — any team size
Built for the real, messy world of restaurant operations — not just in theory. Every feature below is included. There's only one plan.
Build the week by position in minutes. Auto Draft fills it from availability and fair hours, flags double-books and under-16 school-week limits before you publish, and notifies the whole team with one tap. Then staff cover themselves: hand a shift to a qualified teammate, put it up for grabs, or give away just the second half — instant, or with a manager's approval, your call per position group. Shift History keeps a record of every action on every shift.
You set the rules — how far ahead staff submit, the weekly cutoff, blackout dates around holidays and big weekends — and staff get a reminder before the window closes. Once a week locks, it's set. Managers see a 7-day grid for every person, split by lunch and dinner, so you know who's coverable for the service you're staffing — not just who has "something" that day.
Staff clock in and out from their Home screen, with an optional geofence. Forgotten clock-outs get a one-tap fix. Timesheets show only what needs a look — corrections, missing punches, big variances — and a manager can split one timecard across positions when someone goes Server → Expo → Server.
Tip pools split by the hours actually worked on that station. Pay periods build from real punches, lock when reviewed, and export as a file your payroll provider imports. Wages stay admin-only — each employee sees only their own My Pay. See real hourly earnings by position, know who's due for a raise, and give one in two taps.
Connect your POS once and every night ExpoShift pulls the day's sales and tips, fills your tip pools, and feeds the labor and insight reports. Backfill any range with a day-by-day counter. Run something we haven't connected yet? Tell us what you use — new POS and payroll connections are built to order, wherever the system offers an API.
Sales, kitchen, and team reports from your POS sales data — top items, server rankings by check average or tips per hour, ticket times by hour, station pace, on-time clock-ins — plus a Labor tab that shows what the week will cost before you publish and puts labor % next to each day's sales.
Your vendors, storage areas, and pars in one list. Walk the building counting on-hand, then shop or order one vendor at a time — check-off, carry-over when a store is out, run totals. Per-vendor prices route each item to the cheapest known price. Import your list from CSV or Excel. Works offline. Beta — still being built.
Check off the equipment you own and get an example maintenance calendar — common service intervals for hoods, walk-in coils, grease traps and the rest — that you customize to your equipment, your vendors, and your local requirements. Your managers can see it, and the service tech is one tap away when the walk-in dies on a Saturday.
Every team member opens the app and sees exactly what they need — their shifts, open shifts to pick up, and your announcements. Direct messages, group chats by position, broadcasts, and daily schedule notes the whole team sees in the week view. Notifications open the exact chat, shift, or task they're about.
Staff and managers send each other shoutouts. Points build up for the things you actually want — picking up open shifts, availability in on time, hours worked — and each month's winners choose their own reward from a list you set. Birthdays, polls, quizzes, and a monthly newsletter that drafts itself. Off until you turn it on.
Every person's record in one place — positions, contact and emergency info, certifications with a photo of the card for the "inspector is standing here" moment, and school calendars for minors. Document Center puts handbooks and policies in front of staff and tracks who has acknowledged them. New hires get an email invite — no codes, no app-store walkthroughs.
Managers open "Today": what's waiting on them first — Red Book entries, task completions to verify, swaps to approve — then the cards they use most. Admins set permissions, approvals, swap rules, break rules, alcohol-service policy, and under-16 guardrails once, and ExpoShift handles it every week. Managers see hours, timesheets, and reports; pay stays admin-only.
We built the tool we always wanted to use. Turns out, a lot of other operators wanted it too.
No feature bloat. Every screen exists because an operator needed it on a Friday night — the schedule, the clock, the tip sheet, the walk-in that died. Nothing is there to pad a feature list.
$49/month per location. No per-seat fees, no feature tiers, no surprises. You pay for what matters — nothing more.
No lengthy onboarding. No IT required. Add your team, build your first week, and publish — all before your next shift starts. Connect your POS and payroll when you're ready.
Real operators are using ExpoShift right now. Their feedback shapes every release. This tool works in the messy, unpredictable world of restaurant operations.
Everything included — every feature, every update, everyone on your team. No tiers, no upsells, no "that's on the higher plan."
