For shops and retail · 8–120 staff, one or several shops
Staff the Saturday rush, not the Tuesday afternoon.
Footfall moves by hour and by season. Midshift helps you roster to the trading pattern and keeps weekend cover fair across the team.
Most shops and retail choose Team — £49 a month for a team of 20.
Switched on for shops and retail
Cover by trading hour
Set how many people each hour needs, and the rota shows where you are over or under before you publish.
Fair weekends
Midshift counts who has worked the last four Saturdays and nudges you before the same three people get a fifth.
Seasonal staff in minutes
Invite Christmas temps by text message; they sign up on their phone and appear on the rota the same day.
Stocktake and delivery shifts
Add non-selling tasks as their own shifts so they are planned, paid and never quietly dropped.
Retail rotas are written against footfall, and footfall is never flat. A gift shop needs two people on a wet Tuesday, five on the Saturday before Christmas, and somebody free for the delivery on Thursday morning.
Midshift lets you set the cover each trading hour needs and shows the gaps as you build. It keeps weekends fair by counting who has worked the last four Saturdays, and seasonal staff can be invited by text and rostered the same day — then drop off the bill when they stop working in January.
Small shops often start on Starter; once you pass about 20 people the Team plan is cheaper and adds payroll export.
