Prep, rush, close. The three parts of a pizza night.
A pizza shop runs on a prep block nobody sees and a rush that decides the week. Helm Shift ships with those shifts, and a menu that knows what a pie costs you to make.
The prep block is invisible to most software.
Generic scheduling tools see a shift as a block of hours. A pizza shop sees a prep block, a rush, and a close, and the prep block is where the night is won or lost.
Set up as a pizza shop.
Shifts named for the night
Prep, Lunch, Dinner rush and Close. The names are the ones you already use on the whiteboard, so nobody has to translate.
Roles a pizza shop actually has
Pizzaiolo, Driver, Prep Cook and Counter are suggested when you add your team, so the schedule reads like your shop.
Costed by the pie
Enter what a bag of flour costs once, and every pizza made with it carries its own cost.
The schedule, the menu, and Friday's labour bill.
Run it against your own Friday.
Helm Shift was built in Halifax and is open to independent pizza shops across Nova Scotia and Ontario. The 30 days are free and there is no card, so schedule a real Friday in it and cost your best-selling pie. One Friday will tell you whether it fits.
Try it on next Friday.
Plans start at $29.99 CAD a month. Works alongside whatever POS you already use.
