Team Communication in Restaurants Is Outdated, Slow, and Costing You Thousands.

Pre-shift meetings have always been the secret weapon of great service - aligning your team, setting priorities, and dialing in the guest experience.

But they’re stuck in the past: verbal reminders, notebook scribbles, printouts, and last-minute updates no one hears. It’s inconsistent. It’s fragile. And it’s costing you, shift after shift.

Outdated Tools

Printouts, notebooks, binders, and whiteboards get outdated in minutes — leaving staff guessing and service slipping.

Missed Updates

Specials, 86's, allergens, prep lists, and sidework get lost in translation - or forgotten altogether. And when that happens, both service and revenue take a hit.

Scattered Communication

Slack, group chat, text threads, menu binders, emails, Google Docs, and verbals. Too many tools = missed messages, double work, and a team never truly on the same page.

Wasted Time

Managers spend hours compiling shift notes and repeating the same info day after day that could be spent training, selling, or improving service.

What if every update landed, every upsell sold, and every shift felt effortless?

Ready. Set. Service.

Frequently Asked Questions

It combines menu management, pre-shift updates, and team chat into a single platform, ensuring that no matter where your team is, they’re always on the same page. Real-time notifications instantly alert staff to menu changes, 86’d items, announcements, and operational updates, so no detail ever gets missed or outdated.

With instant updates and real-time collaboration, managers can share important information, staff can ask questions, and the entire team stays connected—without relying on printed notes, scattered messages, or word-of-mouth. PreShifter keeps shifts running smoothly by making sure everyone knows exactly what they need, when they need it.

Yes. PreShifter works perfectly with or without a traditional huddle.

With a huddle: Use it as a live reference so no detail gets missed. Show specials, sales goals, and menu updates right from your device, update last-minute changes instantly, and give staff a resource they can revisit anytime after the meeting.

Without a huddle: Build and publish in minutes from anywhere and every team member gets it instantly via push notification — ideal for slower days, split shifts, or when managers aren’t on-site.

Either way: You eliminate missed updates, outdated printouts, and verbal gaps. Everyone starts aligned with a single, always-up-to-date source of truth, boosting accuracy, confidence, and speed.

PreShifter keeps shifts running smoothly by making sure everyone knows exactly what they need, when they need it.

Because this problem has never truly been solved — until now.

For years, restaurants have relied on clipboards, whiteboards, scattered group chats, random emails, and word-of-mouth to communicate critical shift details. Important updates get lost, menu changes don’t reach everyone, and miscommunication leads to wasted time, frustrated staff, and costly mistakes.

We built PreShifter because we’ve lived these problems ourselves. We work in restaurants, we’ve managed shifts, and we know firsthand how chaotic and inefficient traditional communication can be. That’s why we created a platform that finally fixes what’s been broken for too long—so teams can stay informed, connected, and focused on delivering great service.

PreShifter is built for restaurants, by restaurant people. It brings together never-outdated menu details, pre-shift updates, team chat, and real-time notifications into one seamless platform. No more scrambling to pass along information. No more confusion between shifts. No more wasted time.

For the first time, restaurant teams have a tool designed specifically for them—because clear, instant communication should be the standard, not the struggle.

PreShifter is for restaurant teams that strive for excellence—for those who know that clear communication, organization, and teamwork make all the difference in running a smooth, successful shift.

No—PreShifter is not a scheduling app, and it’s not trying to be.

Scheduling is a separate problem, and there are already plenty of great tools out there that solve it—Toast, 7shifts, Homebase, and others have scheduling covered. But what happens after the schedule is set?

That’s where PreShifter comes in. It tackles a completely different problem: real-time shift communication.

  • Pre-shift notes & announcements – Keep your team informed before service starts.
  • Menu updates & 86’d items – Make sure FOH & BOH are always in sync.
  • Team chat & collaboration – No more scattered texts, lost messages, or confusion.

PreShifter works alongside scheduling tools to make sure that when your team shows up for their shift, they actually know what’s going on.

PreShifter is designed to streamline shift communication, keep teams informed, and eliminate confusion in restaurant operations. Here’s what it includes:

Pre-Shift Notes & Announcements

Menu Management & Real-Time Updates

  • Keep menu items, specials, and 86’d items updated instantly.
  • FOH staff can quickly check dish details, allergens, and modifications without asking the kitchen.

  • FOH & BOH can communicate quickly to resolve issues on the fly.

Real-Time Notifications

  • Instantly alerts staff about important updates, menu changes, or last-minute shifts in service.
  • Ensures no one misses critical information, no matter where they are.

Accessible Anytime, Anywhere

  • Works on mobile, tablet, and desktop, so your team can stay informed on and off the floor.
  • Eliminates the need for printed notes, whiteboards, and endless manager check-ins.

If your team has ever struggled with miscommunication, outdated shift notes, or scattered information, then PreShifter is built for you.

Ask yourself:

  • Do servers forget specials, 86’d items, or menu changes during service?
  • Are pre-shift notes getting ignored, lost, or never updated?
  • Is your team relying on group texts, whiteboards, or word-of-mouth to stay informed?
