Shift planning and time tracking for hospitality — all on your phone.

Gastro Cockpit replaces the spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups that restaurants, cafés and bars run their teams on. Rosters, hours, time off and payroll exports live in one app — built around German labor law, so recorded working time (Arbeitszeiterfassung) is compliant by default.

Built by restaurateurs, for restaurateurs. Our founder runs two cafés with 25 staff and uses it every day.

• Rosters done in minutes. Plan from your phone between two shifts. Save once and the whole team has it.
• Clock in on the phone. GPS-verified and documented to the letter of the law.
• Swaps without the phone tree. The team arranges cover, you approve with one tap.
• Time off in one place. Vacation, sick notes and balances — no paper, no guessing.
• Payroll export. One click at the end of the month, straight to your tax advisor.

One price per location, however many people you employ — never per head. 60 days free, no payment details required. See current pricing.

Today: reliable tools that get you out of the spreadsheet and keep you compliant. Next: scheduling that proposes itself — coverage, cost and fairness solved for you, sick-leave cover suggested the moment someone calls in.

Our goal is to give small hospitality businesses the workforce management that until now only large chains could afford.
