The fair-by-default scheduler
Schedules that can't play favorites.
EvenShift builds the week for your restaurant, salon, or any shift-based team — spreads hours fairly, and shows the reason behind every shift. It never schedules anyone over a day off, and it proves the week is even, in plain sight.
Free for 7 days · no card required.
Nobody available was left at zero. People who wanted more got more.
Why it's different
Other tools optimize the owner's labor cost. EvenShift optimizes fairness to the worker — and proves it.
Never over a day off
Ask for a day off and the engine will not schedule you on it. If coverage can't be met, the shift is left open and flagged for the manager — never a silent override.
A reason for every shift
Every assignment stores a plain-English why: wanted more hours, had the fewest so far, only person free. No shift exists without one.
Fairness made visible
Every week computes a fairness score, the hours gap, and who got what. Favoritism has nowhere to hide — that's the whole point.
How it works
From availability to a published week.
- 1
Staff set the truth
Each person sets weekly availability, requests time off, and says whether they want more hours, fewer, or are flexible.
- 2
Generate a fair week
Pick the week, set coverage, press generate. The engine fills every shift by fairness first, flags what it can't cover, and shows its work.
- 3
Review, publish, done
Resolve the flags, publish. Workers see their week, the reason behind each shift, and can grab open shifts you approve — and their shifts sync straight to their phone's calendar.

Frequently asked questions
What is EvenShift?
EvenShift is a weekly staff-scheduling app for restaurants, bars, cafés, salons, and spas that puts fairness first. It builds the week from your team's availability, never schedules anyone over a requested day off, attaches a plain-language reason to every shift, and proves the week is fair with a visible fairness score.
How is EvenShift different from 7shifts, Homebase, or Deputy?
Most scheduling tools optimize the owner's labor cost. EvenShift optimizes fairness to the worker — and proves it. Every generated schedule shows a fairness score, the hours gap between teammates, and the reason behind every shift, so favoritism has nowhere to hide.
How much does EvenShift cost?
Solo is CA$49 per month (or CA$490 per year) for one location with up to 50 staff. Group is CA$199 per month (or CA$1,990 per year) for 2–5 locations. Enterprise is custom-priced for 6+ locations. Customers outside Canada pay the same numbers in USD. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial — no credit card required, and the fairness features are never paywalled.
Does EvenShift work for bars open past midnight?
Yes. Shifts can cross midnight — a 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM close is a first-class shift with correctly counted hours. Each venue also chooses its dayparts (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and sets real start and end times per shift.
Is EvenShift bilingual?
Yes. EvenShift is fully bilingual in English and Quebec French (déjeuner, dîner, souper — the way Quebec restaurants actually talk), and anyone can switch language with one tap.
Can staff really never be scheduled on a day off?
Correct — it's a hard rule in the scheduling engine, not a preference. Automatic generation never assigns anyone to a day they requested off. If a shift can't be covered without doing so, it's left open and flagged for the manager. Only an explicit manager action can override a day off, and it's logged with a reason.
Can staff pick up open shifts?
Yes. Workers see open shifts that match their position and availability, and can request to pick them up. The manager approves with one tap and the schedule updates instantly.
Is EvenShift only for restaurants?
No. EvenShift works for any business that schedules hourly staff week by week — restaurants, bars, cafés, salons, spas, and more. Each business type gets its own positions (stylists, colorists, estheticians, and receptionists for salons; servers, cooks, and bartenders for restaurants) and its own way of dividing the day (morning, afternoon, evening — or breakfast, lunch, dinner).
Can shifts show up in my phone's calendar?
Yes — one tap. Every person gets a private calendar feed: on iPhone it opens directly in the Calendar app as a subscription, and there's an equivalent one-tap link for Google Calendar (plus a copyable link for Outlook and other apps). Because it's a live subscription, newly published weeks appear in the phone's calendar automatically — no re-exporting. Managers can subscribe too and see every published shift at their venue.
