Most staff schedulers (7shifts, Homebase, Deputy) optimize the owner's labor cost. EvenShift optimizes fairness to the worker and proves it: never schedules anyone over a requested day off, a plain-language reason on every shift, and a visible fairness score every week. For restaurants, bars, cafés, salons & spas. Bilingual EN + Quebec French, one-tap phone calendar sync. 7-day free trial, no card.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Said, co-founder of EvenShift.
Every staff-scheduling tool I looked at optimizes one thing: the owner's labor cost. The people actually working the shifts get handed a schedule with no say, no explanation, and no way to know if it's fair. Favoritism just… hides in the grid.
My co-founder Joey saw that up close in hospitality so I built EvenShift to fix it. It's a weekly scheduler for restaurants, bars, cafés, salons and spas that puts fairness to the worker first, and proves it:
• It never auto-schedules anyone over a day they requested off.
• Every shift comes with a plain-language reason ("had the fewest hours, kept the week even").
• Every schedule gets a visible fairness score so favoritism is impossible to hide.
Staff set their availability and hours preference, request time off, and grab open shifts. Managers generate a fair week in seconds and see exactly why each call was made. Fully bilingual (English + Quebec French), and it syncs everyone's shifts to their phone with one tap.
It's live now with a 7-day free trial, no card. I'd genuinely love your feedback especially from anyone who's run a shift-based team: what makes a schedule feel fair (or unfair) to you?

Finally tried EvenShift for my small cafe and the fairness score actually made my staff ask about it before I could even explain. Really like that it blocks scheduling over requested days off.
love that the fairness score is right there in the open every week instead of buried in some settings menu. feels like the team actually thought about how workers experience scheduling, not just the owner side of things.
tried it with my bar staff last week and honestly the fairness score made a couple of grumpy shifts disappear. loved that it just says no when someone asks for a day off

Finally a scheduler that respects my day off requests instead of just treating labor cost as the bottom line. The weekly fairness score is a nice touch and the Quebec French support actually feels natural.
