What you still run on the side

The roster in a spreadsheet. The hours on a scrap of paper. The book behind the bar.

Four systems that know nothing about each other — and you are what holds them together. Every day, every shift.

Wednesday, 11:20

The roster is out. Now someone calls in sick.

The file sits on twenty phones, and from this minute on every one of them shows something different. Whoever misses the change still turns up — or doesn't turn up at all.

Availability lives on notes in a drawer, swaps happen in the group chat, and you are the one typing all of it up.

Here is how it works instead

  • Everyone enters their own availability. Whoever forgets gets a reminder.
  • You drag the shifts into place, with everyone's requests right next to them.
  • Swaps get sorted out between the two of them — you only confirm what they agreed.
  • Holiday and sick leave hang on the same roster, not in a second calendar.

Last day of the month, 22:40

You are reconstructing hours nobody remembers exactly.

You have to keep records either way. The only question is whether the list is written while the work happens — or four weeks later at the kitchen table, from memory.

Every hour that lands wrong you either pay twice, or you owe it to someone.

Here is how it works instead

  • People clock in from the home screen of their phone. One tap, no login.
  • Breaks run with a countdown and come off the net time.
  • Five minutes after the shift ends it clocks out by itself. Anyone who stays longer presses a button.
  • Time balance, overtime and night premium are counted as they happen.

Saturday, 19:00

The big party is written in a book behind the bar.

Anyone who isn't in the building knows nothing about it. Anyone who is has to decipher the handwriting. And the note “birthday, table 4, cake at 21:00” is gone the moment the room fills up.

The next day nobody knows why the party of six waited for nothing.

Here is how it works instead

  • Reservations sit where the roster sits.
  • Whatever holds for the day hangs on the day — not on the person who happens to know it.
  • Private functions block the day, together with the running order, music, food and payment.
  • Whoever is on shift sees both at once: their hours and what is happening that night.

Tuesday, somewhere in the group chat

The training has been sent. Nobody read it.

House rules, opening up, locking up, who descales the coffee machine: all of it sits somewhere in the chat, between holiday photos and the question of who is fetching ice.

And when something is left undone, it was never anyone — because nobody was ever responsible.

Here is how it works instead

  • Documents with a read receipt. You can see who still has them open.
  • Opening and closing as a checklist, step by step, even for the new one.
  • Tasks have a deadline and a name. Done means done.
  • Tips are split by the hours actually clocked, not by feel.

In service since August 2026

Built in a bar, not on a drawing board.

Kajüte grew up in the Monkeys in Salzburg, because the same four building sites were lying around there. Every feature had to survive a Saturday night before it was allowed to stay.

What is in it today, the team there uses every day: rosters, clocking in, reservations, tasks, tips.

What it costs

You pay per head, not per venue.

Five people cost five. Five hundred cost five hundred. No base fee that crushes a small team, and no tier where it suddenly starts to hurt.

We are at the beginning of this, so the price per head is not set in stone yet. Tell me how many people work for you, and we will agree on a number that fits your business.
