Nobody has to what shift they’re on.
Akordo puts the schedule, time off, swaps, tasks and labor cost in one app that works on everyone's phone. Built for cafés, bars, restaurants and hotels.
- 14 days free
- No card required
- Any phone, nothing to install
Why switch
You already have a system. It’s just held together by group chats.
A printed rota, a group chat nobody can scroll back through, and a spreadsheet one person understands. It works — right up until someone doesn’t show.
The old way
Three places, none of them current
Kush e mbulon nesër?? 😩
Unë s’mundem sot 🙈
✓✓ Read
- The version in Excel and the version in the chat disagree
- Every swap costs four messages and a phone call
- What the week cost you is a month-end surprise
- You find out someone's a no-show right when the shift starts
With Akordo
One version, on every phone
- Publish once — everyone is notified and sees the same week
- One tap approves a swap and the schedule updates itself
- The week's cost is on screen while you're still building it
- Everyone gets a reminder an hour before their shift starts
What’s inside
Four things, done properly.
The week, the requests, the money and the floor — each one built out properly.
Scheduling
Build the week in minutes, not evenings.
Save your shift types once, then tap them onto the week. Akordo checks every shift as you place it.
- Double-bookings are refused, not just warned about.
- Time off and unavailability are flagged before you publish.
- Build the whole week from your phone, with a guided, step-by-step flow.

Time off & swaps
Let the team sort the small stuff.
Staff set their availability, request time off, and swap, trade or drop shifts. Everything lands in one queue.
- One queue for everything — org-wide for owners, per venue for managers.
- Trades swap two shifts at once — both schedules update themselves.
- Approving time off shows the affected shifts first — find cover or remove each one.

Labor cost
See what the week costs before you publish it.
Set an hourly rate per person once. Akordo works out the cost from the shifts you build — by day, venue and person.
- Owner only. Managers never see a rate.
- A raise never rewrites the past — old reports keep the old rate.
- Missing rates are flagged, never priced at zero.

Nothing runs on memory.
Daily checklists that rebuild themselves, targeted announcements with read receipts, and a reminder an hour before each shift.
- Recurring tasks create themselves every day.
- Target a person, department or position, so everyone sees only their own work.
- Shift reminders go out an hour ahead, in the app and by email.

And the rest
The details that decide it.
Many venues, one login
Run several venues side by side and switch between them without logging out.
Roles that actually scope
Managers only see their assigned venues. Employees only see published weeks.
Notes on a shift
“Deliveries at 11, cover the door.” Visible only to the person working it.
Open shifts that fill themselves
Staff can claim an open shift, the manager or owner picks who gets it, and Akordo warns them if it's still unclaimed the day before.
Notifications that mean something
Notifications only come when someone is waiting on an action from you. Always in the app, by email if you want it.
Gaps and long stretches
Akordo flags gaps in the schedule and anyone over your days-in-a-row limit before the week goes out.
Live preview
Have a look around. It’s the real thing.
Not a video and not a screenshot — the actual interface, loaded with a pretend café in Kosovo. Switch tabs and scroll. Nothing you touch here is connected to a real business.

Why we built it
Made here, for how hospitality actually runs here.
We kept seeing the same setup: a real team, a serious business — and a schedule held together by whatever the manager remembers, a group chat nobody can scroll back through, and one spreadsheet only the owner understands.
That was never the team’s fault — the tools just never fit. In this industry, the desk is wherever you’re standing. So Akordo was built for the phone in an apron pocket first, and a desktop second.
What it costs
Every feature, on every plan.
No feature gates, no per-seat maths, no upsell when you reach for the thing you came for. The only difference is how many venues and people you’re running.
Every trial runs at full, unlimited caps — not just the plan you start on.
