The problem

Local floors run on duct tape and card-processor fees. A POS here, a scheduling app there, a spreadsheet for tips, and a processor skimming every sale. For a fair stand or food truck it is chaos on the busiest day of the year.

Shiftly puts the whole operation — sales, crew, tips, orders — on one screen anyone can run, then makes the pricing itself the argument: a flat fee instead of a percentage, so the busiest day does not become the most expensive.

What it does

01

Point of sale

A fast POS built for a rush — menu, modifiers, and checkout a new hire can run in minutes.

02

Crew board

Clock in and out, roles, and who is on the floor right now, live on one screen.

03

Scheduling

Build shifts, swap them, and see coverage before the day starts.

04

Tips + payouts

Tips pooled and split fairly, with the math done for you.

05

Online orders

Take orders that land in the same live view as everything on the floor.

06

White-label

Each tenant controls its own logo, name, and a single accent — designed, not assembled.

◉ Proof: a real, working, installable POS/board/clock/tips build — but a self-built concept with no paying customers yet. Founding offer: the first 5 businesses get $49/mo lifetime in exchange for a testimonial. No fabricated logos, reviews, or revenue.

Why it matters

Local operators do not fail because they lack software — they fail running four tools that do not talk while a processor skims every sale. Shiftly is one screen anyone can run, built offline-first because a fair stand or food truck loses signal constantly and a POS that stalls at the window is worthless.
