Get them shift-ready
before their first shift.
Upload your handbook, closing procedure, or safety doc. We'll draft the training. Your staff finish it on their phone before they walk in on day one.
Closing & Cash-up
A 12-minute module walking day-1 staff through end-of-shift routine, cash reconciliation and handover.
AI drafts each module straight from the handbook you upload. You review, edit, approve.
ShiftReadyHey Emma 👋
Your first shift is on Thursday. Here's what Pink Lane Cafe want you to know.
They tap through it on the bus before their first shift — no account, no app to install.
You've explained how the coffee machine works 14 times this year.
And it's only April.
What hospitality businesses pour into training every new starter. Most of it is repeating what you already explained to the last one.
One-off in-person training sticks about as well as tissue paper. Without a second touch, most of what you explained is gone by tomorrow's shift.
No record. No way to prove training happened. And when something goes wrong, "I thought we'd covered that" doesn't cut it.

A cafe. A gym. A workshop. Your small business.
Every industry has procedures. Every team has a bus ride. ShiftReady meets you where you are.
My new kitchenhand Emma walked in on Thursday knowing our closing procedure better than I did. Saved me about eight hours in the first week alone.
"Our old training was a 45-slide PDF no one read. Now the apprentices finish before day one. That's a first in 12 years."
"Set it up between classes. My new front-of-house girl did her entire onboarding on her way into shift."

Things people ask before signing up.
Do my staff need an account?
No. They get a link via email or SMS, tap it, and learn. No app, no password, no onboarding friction. Managers have accounts — staff don’t need one.
How long does it actually take to set up?
First module: about 10 minutes. Upload a handbook or paste a URL, review the AI draft, hit send. The hard part is deciding what to train on first — the rest is done for you.
Is my content used to train AI?
No. Your uploaded documents and training modules are never used to train any model. They stay in your account, in Sydney, and nothing leaves without your say-so.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
You review every draft before staff see it. Click any line to edit. Regenerate lessons that miss the point. Nothing goes out without your approval — you’re the editor, not the AI.
Can I white-label it or use my own branding?
Training sent to staff carries your business name, not ShiftReady. Full white-label (custom domain, your logo on the learner screen) rolls out on the Team plan later in 2026.
What about compliance / RSA / food safety?
ShiftReady is a training tool, not a certification body. We’re great at internal procedures, SOPs, and onboarding. For statutory certificates (RSA, white card, food handling), use your accredited provider — then link to ShiftReady for everything that sits on top.
What happens after the trial?
14 days free. Card on file at signup so there’s no break in service on day 15, but nothing charges until the trial ends. Cancel any time before then and you pay nothing.
