AI-powered shift repair for restaurants and shift-based teams. When your schedule breaks, CoverMe finds the best replacement and fills the gap in seconds — not hours.
Free to start. No credit card needed. Launching Summer 2026.
Every restaurant manager knows the drill. Here's what we're here to fix.
Someone calls out 2 hours before their shift. You text 10 people one by one, hoping somebody — anybody — can cover. Half don't reply.
Nobody answered? Guess who's working a double. Again. You didn't open a restaurant to work every shift.
You gave someone extra hours to help out, and now you're over budget. You didn't realize they were already at 38 hours this week.
In the scramble to find anyone, you end up with a host behind the bar or a dishwasher running food. Customers notice. You need the right replacement, not just a warm body.
Three steps. Less than 60 seconds. No more text chain roulette.
Your employee calls out through the app with one tap, or you mark any shift as "needs cover" from the dashboard. Either way, CoverMe kicks into gear immediately.
CoverMe instantly checks who's available, has the right skills for that role, isn't approaching overtime, and hasn't been asked to cover too many shifts recently. You see a ranked list of your best options in seconds.
Considers availability, skills, overtime & fairnessPick your top choice and tap to send them a text. They get a pre-written message asking if they can cover. Once confirmed, your schedule updates automatically. Done.
From call-out to covered in minutes, not hoursNo bloated HR platform. No features you'll never touch. Just what you need when someone calls out.
See a ranked list of your best replacement options in seconds. CoverMe considers availability, role match, hours worked, and fairness — so you don't have to do the mental math.
Pick a candidate and tap to text them a pre-written cover request. No more typing out the same "hey can you work tonight?" message ten times.
Already using Homebase, When I Work, or a spreadsheet? Great. Import your schedule via CSV. CoverMe works alongside your existing setup — not instead of it.
Staff view their schedule and call out via a simple web link on their phone. No app download, no login, no friction.
CoverMe flags when a replacement would push someone past their max hours — so you see the overtime risk before you make the call, not after.
Add your team, set their roles and availability, import your schedule. That's it. No onboarding calls, no training videos, no 3-week implementation.
No surprise fees. No add-on gotchas. Just pay for the people on your team.

Nope! CoverMe works alongside whatever you're already using — Homebase, When I Work, 7shifts, even a plain spreadsheet. Just import your schedule via CSV. We handle the "what happens when it breaks" part.
CoverMe checks who's available, has the right skills for the shift's role, isn't already near overtime, and hasn't been asked to cover too many times recently. It balances all of that to find the fairest, most practical replacement.
No. Everything works through text messages and a simple web link. Employees can view their schedule and respond to cover requests without downloading anything.
We're building compliance features (audit logs, violation warnings) as an upcoming addition. For now, CoverMe helps you make smarter, faster coverage decisions — which is the first step toward staying compliant. If you're in a Fair Workweek city, join the waitlist and we'll prioritize you for compliance features.
We're launching with restaurants first, but CoverMe is built to work for any shift-based team — retail, cleaning companies, healthcare, security, and more. Join the waitlist and let us know your industry. We'll notify you the moment your vertical goes live.
About 10 minutes. Add your employees (or import a list), set their roles and availability, import your current schedule, and you're ready to go. No training needed.
Join the waitlist and be first in line when CoverMe launches this summer.
Free to start. Cancel anytime. Built for the people who keep shifts running.
