ShiftPatch
Prelaunch concept · Early access only

Someone calls in sick. Now your whole rota falls apart.

ShiftPatch is planned rota-repair software for managers of small cafes, salons and shift-based teams of 4–20. Import your existing rota, mark an absence, and review a proposed fix that changes as little as possible — before anything goes live.

No payment required · Planned price €39/month/location

The part of managing a rota nobody talks about

😮‍💨

One absence, and you're starting from scratch. A single person calling in sick can mean re-checking every shift against availability and roles all over again.

🧩

Spreadsheets don't warn you about conflicts. You find out someone's double-booked or unqualified for a role only after it's too late.

⏳

Rebuilding the whole week wastes time you don't have. Most managers just want the smallest possible change that still covers the shift.

Why ShiftPatch

01

Import what you already use

Bring in your existing rota, roles and availability instead of rebuilding everything from scratch.

02

Mark an absence in seconds

Flag who's out, and ShiftPatch treats it as the one thing that changed — not a reason to redo the whole week.

03

Minimal-change repair proposals

The proposed fix respects the constraints you entered and changes as few shifts as possible.

04

Clear conflicts, not silent failures

If nobody can cover the shift, ShiftPatch explains exactly why — instead of leaving you guessing.

05

You always approve the final version

Nothing goes live without manager approval — ShiftPatch proposes, you decide.

06

Export back to Excel/CSV

Once approved, export the repaired rota and keep using the tools your team already knows.

What we're planning

ShiftPatch is a prelaunch concept. There is no live product access yet and no launch date — this is a request for early access, with no payment involved.

Built around how small teams actually work

Café manager perspective

"When someone's out, I don't want a whole new rota — I want the smallest fix that still covers the shift."

Salon owner perspective

"If nobody can cover a shift, I'd rather know exactly why than find out the hard way."

Team lead perspective

"We still live in spreadsheets. A tool only works for us if it can import what we have and export back out."

These reflect the problem ShiftPatch is designed to solve, based on early conversations with shift-based teams — not customer results, as there is no live product yet.

Questions managers actually ask

That's exactly the starting point. ShiftPatch is built to import an existing rota, roles and availability — including spreadsheet-based ones — and export the repaired result back to Excel/CSV, so you're not forced to switch tools.
