What Orbit Will Offer

One board everyone can see

Every section, station, and shift on one live board.Who's on the floor, where the gaps are, who's coming in — updating in real time on every phone, front of house and back.

HAL keeps it fair

No more guessing who works the slow Tuesday and who gets the Friday rush.HAL drafts the week, balances sections and stations by skill and seniority, and flags when the good shifts pile up on one person — you approve it with one tap.

The scramble, handled

When a server calls out an hour before service, there's no frantic group text.Orbit offers the open shift to the right people, takes the first yes, and books it — the whole back-and-forth collapses into one quiet notification.

Questions, answered.

Is Orbit for Restaurants available today?

The scheduling core is live — stations are rooms, sections are assignments, and a no-show kicks off the same ranked coverage search a clinic uses, today.The deeper features on this page are the roadmap, and the earliest restaurants get the most say in what ships next.

What works today?

Everything a schedule needs to run: the drag-and-drop week, a personal daily view for everyone on staff, swap requests without the group chat, coverage when someone calls out, HAL, Orbit's scheduling assistant you can just talk to, and iPhone and Android apps (in beta today).

What does it cost?

Same pricing as everyone: a 90-day pilot at $250 a month, set up with you, then one flat price set with you, and everyone signs in free.Details on the pricing page.
