Staff management that keeps pace with bakeries and coffee shops.
Shyfter helps bakeries and coffee shops schedule the bakehouse as easily as the counter, track attendance from the very first bake and stay in control of their labour costs.
Shyfter integrates with your POS system, inventory management, and business applications. Centralize your data and connect your operations without changing your workflow.
Ludovic Chevalier, one of the two partners at Nonante Folies, tells us how Shyfter has simplified their lives when it comes to team management in their restaurants.

Your questions, answered
Find quick answers to the most common questions.
Is Shyfter suited to the very early hours of the bakehouse?
Yes. Shyfter handles the night-time starts and staggered hours typical of a bakery with ease. Scheduling and time tracking record real hours from the moment staff arrive at the bakehouse, even before the shop opens. You track each person's working time precisely and prepare payroll with peace of mind.
Can I manage the production team and the sales team on the same schedule?
Yes. You organise production (bakehouse, pastry) and service (counter, barista) on one and the same schedule, with views by area. Everyone can see their hours in the mobile app, and you keep an overall view to ensure a smooth handover between the workshop and the shop floor.
How does Shyfter help cover rushes without overstaffing?
By connecting scheduling, staffing needs and POS data, Shyfter helps you size your teams slot by slot. You reinforce the counter for the morning rush and the lunch break, ease off during quiet hours, and set quotas to avoid over- or under-scheduling. The result: tighter control of labour costs on often narrow margins.
Can I manage students and extras for weekends and Sundays?
Yes. Shyfter lets you manage different contract types (students, flexi-jobs, extras) and track their hours, availability and legal limits. It's especially useful in a bakery, where Sunday opening and weekend peaks call for occasional reinforcements.
Is Shyfter suitable for multi-site or franchise bakeries and coffee shops?
Yes. You can manage several outlets from a single account, centralise team management and analyse performance per outlet or on a consolidated basis. The solution fits an independent bakery as well as a network of outlets.
