2–3 hours a week building the schedule.
Scheduling · clock · tips · training — by Heard Management
Build the week inside your labor budget.
The draft comes back built around your crew — who can work, who is off, who holds the role — with the projected labor cost against your own target before you publish it. Most weeks that is a few edits and done.
What is SavorCrew and what does it cost?
SavorCrew is scheduling, a mobile time clock, tip pools, and checklists for independent restaurants, with an AI draft built around your roster and availability. It costs $9.99 per venue per month — AI draft included at every tier — versus $30–90 per location at 7shifts and HotSchedules. We built it for our own hospitality venues; they run on it every day.
You already know the pain.
Tip math on a legal pad — and the liability that comes with it.
Missed-break flags you don't catch until payroll.
Scheduling, clock, tips, checklists. One app.
The first three run the shift. Training tells the crew how it should run — checklists are how you know it did, with a photo of the work and a flag when something is out of range.
AI scheduling
AI drafts next week around your roster, availability and approved time off. You approve and tweak.
Mobile clock
One-tap clock-in with geofence. Works offline on the patio and the back dock.
Tip pools
Pooled or tip-share, with the math shown and logged for legal defense.
Checklists
Opening, closing, prep — with a photo of the work. Training tells the crew how; the checklist shows it happened.
It will not schedule someone who cannot work.
Every shift the draft proposes is re-checked against your roster before you see it — availability, approved time off, the roles that person actually holds, and their own other shifts. What does not pass is dropped and named. The draft never quietly hands you a week you have to catch.
Same job. One-third the price.
7shifts and HotSchedules charge $30–90 a month per location for features you use a third of. SavorCrew is $9.99, AI draft included.

Questions operators ask first.
What is SavorCrew?
Employee scheduling, mobile time clock, tip pools, checklists, staff training and floor messaging for independent restaurants — with an AI draft that builds next week around your roster and your own sales history, and shows the labor cost against your target before you publish. $9.99 a venue a month, AI draft included at every tier. Built by Heard Management, which runs four venues on it daily.
Is the AI draft really included at $9.99?
Yes. The AI draft is the whole thesis, not an upsell. Every tier includes it.
Does SavorCrew process payroll?
No. SavorCrew exports payroll files to Gusto, ADP, or QuickBooks. It never files your payroll taxes.
How does the crew get the app?
You invite them from the dashboard. They get a claim link, sign in with Apple, Google, or email, and see their week. The app is free for crew.
What happens to my price later?
The price you sign up at is locked for life. Increases only ever apply to new signups.
