A lot of restaurant platforms have a free plan.

That sounds like a great deal — until you start building your first schedule and realize the free version is really a demo for the plan they actually want to sell you.

Basic scheduling. Maybe basic messaging. Everything else — labor cost tracking, real-time overtime alerts, shift swaps, time-off management — is one click away, behind a 14-day trial and then a monthly bill per employee.

None of that is a secret. It’s just how the pricing page is built: free gets you in the door, Pro is where the actual problem gets solved.

So here’s the real question: if the thing you need is the thing that’s never actually free, is the free plan worth the comparison shopping?

We’d rather just tell you what it costs and what you get for it. No “basic” tier that can’t actually run your schedule. No countdown on a trial while you’re still figuring out if the tool fits your kitchen.

➜ Build the schedule — actually build it, not a stripped-down preview

➜ See labor costs in real time, from day one

➜ Keep the whole team in sync — no upgrade required

Start free. No credit card needed. Not because it’s a teaser — because that’s what the free plan actually includes.
