ShiftFlexBuilt by a founder who felt the problem
ShiftFlex started with a specific frustration: franchise operators losing revenue because an uncovered Sunday shift had no fast fix. No marketplace. No incentive layer. Just a manager calling staff one by one.

Founder & Engineer
Full-stack engineer specializing in mobile-native workforce tools and franchise operations software. I build React Native apps on Supabase — production-grade, with strong data isolation at the database layer. ShiftFlex is the product that came from watching franchise operators struggle with last-minute shift coverage and realizing that no tool had ever built an actual marketplace for it.

Why ShiftFlex exists
Most scheduling software manages who is on which shift — that's it. When a shift goes unclaimed, the manager's only option is to start calling staff. With 40+ employees across multiple franchise locations, that becomes a 4-hour manual process. Meanwhile the shift is tomorrow morning.
ShiftFlex takes a different approach: build an internal marketplace. Employees browse and claim open shifts across all franchise locations in real time. Add a surge bonus to the hard ones. The shift gets claimed in minutes, not hours — without a single phone call.
The cluster isolation architecture means different franchise groups never see each other's data, even if they're on the same server. That's a requirement in franchise networks where the same software provider might serve competing brands.
ShiftFlex is built for teams where workers want flexibility and managers need coverage. The goal is a workforce scheduling tool that treats employees like a marketplace — giving them agency to pick up extra shifts, earn surge bonuses, and manage their own schedules — while giving managers the visibility and control they need to run a multi-location operation.
