Why Shyfter doesn't work for small restaurant teams

We built Smarteaming after hearing the same complaints from restaurateurs and shop owners.

01

€39/mo even if you have 10 employees

Shyfter charges €39/month for up to 30 employees. If you only have 10 staff, you're paying the same as someone with 30. At Smarteaming, 10 employees = €10/month.

02

Price jumps at 30+ employees

Once you cross 30 employees, Shyfter adds €50 per additional 30. A team of 35 pays €89/month. With Smarteaming, 35 employees costs €35/month — the price grows with your team, not in steps.

03

Premium onboarding costs extra

Shyfter's pricing FAQ mentions that premium onboarding with dedicated specialists is available for a fee. At Smarteaming, onboarding support is included — no hidden charges.

04

Different approach to shift attendance

Shyfter focuses on shift notifications when schedules are published. Smarteaming takes a different approach: staff confirm before the shift — so you know who's coming before service starts, not just who saw the schedule.

Common questions

Can I import my data from Shyfter?
Yes. You can import your employee list and existing schedules via CSV. Our onboarding team can walk you through it — most teams are set up within a day.
What if I have fewer than 10 employees?
You pay €1 per scheduled employee per month. 5 employees = €5/mo. There's no minimum fee. With Shyfter, you'd still pay €39/mo even with 5 employees.

Yes. The app and the scheduling interface are fully available in English, French, and Dutch. You can switch language at any time in your account settings.
