THE APP
One tool for the whole restaurant.
The Brown Bottle needed a way to coordinate 75+ employees across shifts, time-off, and day-to-day communication. We built a cross-platform app that replaced group texts, paper schedules, and scattered spreadsheets with a single source of truth.
01
Shift scheduling
Full calendar for 75+ staff across all roles.
02
Cover requests
Employees swap shifts without calling a manager.
03
Time-off management
Submit, approve, and track — all in the app.
04
Announcements & tasks
Post updates the whole team actually sees.
