For restaurants, bars, and cafés

The schedule writes itself.

Weekwright drafts your week — covers Friday dinner, balances cooks vs servers, and respects the 10-hour closing-to-opening break — so Sunday admin doesn't eat your weekend.

Built for the way you actually staff

The problems we hear from restaurants managers.

  • Weekend coverage that doesn't burn out the same three people

    Friday/Saturday dinner is non-negotiable. AI proposes shifts based on availability + recent load, so the same servers don't catch every weekend in a row.

  • Closing-to-opening rest gets ignored under pressure

    A close at 1am followed by a 9am open is illegal in most jurisdictions and an accident waiting to happen. Weekwright warns at create time — not after publish.

  • Cooks, servers, hosts, bartenders — the ratios matter

    Lose a cook on a Tuesday and you're 86'd by 7pm. Position-aware drafts keep the kitchen / front-of-house balance even on slow days.

  • Last-minute call-outs eat managers' Saturday mornings

    Open shifts post in seconds. Eligible coworkers see the offer on their phone and accept in one tap. Audit trail shows who covered.
