Schedules Don't Run Themselves.
Shabetzli Does.
Shabetzli is an AI shift manager that talks to your staff on WhatsApp. It collects availability, builds a fair schedule, handles swaps and fills last-minute gaps. Your team installs nothing. You approve the result.
What we built Shabetzli on
Where your team already is
WhatsApp is open on every phone on your team. That's the only interface they'll ever need.
You stay in charge
Nothing is published until you approve it. Your rules, your priorities, your final word.
Fair by design
Weekends, holidays and closing shifts are rotated evenly, and the reasoning is visible.
Private by default
Every employee talks to Shabetzli one-on-one. No more personal details in the staff group.
Not a Scheduler. The Teammate Who Handles the Whole Conversation.
Shabetzli messages each person the way a good shift manager would. It asks, follows up, negotiates and resolves - then hands you a finished schedule.
You don't chase replies in the staff group. You don't mediate swaps. You don't spend Thursday night rebuilding next week. Shabetzli does, inside the WhatsApp your team already has open all day.
Every employee picks their own language - Hebrew, English, Russian, Arabic, Spanish and more.
How It Works
Set your rules once. From then on, the week runs itself.
Shabetzli reaches out
On the day you choose, it messages every employee for availability, time off and preferences - and reminds whoever hasn't answered.
It builds and balances
It turns the answers into a schedule that respects your roles, minimum staffing, rest rules and fairness - and resolves conflicts directly with the people involved.
You approve, it publishes
You review the draft, adjust if you want, and approve. Everyone gets their shifts privately, and changes during the week are handled for you.

Every hour your manager spends patching the schedule in a WhatsApp group is an hour they're not leading the team, watching costs or serving customers.
"Send me your availability" - buried under hundreds of messages in the staff group Managers chasing replies late into the night Exams, reserve duty and sick days trigger a scramble The same people stuck with every Friday and Saturday night Overtime discovered when payroll arrives Hours pieced together from notes and screenshots at the end of the month Rebuilding the schedule from scratch, every single week
Every employee answers in their own private chat Reminders go out automatically - nobody chases Last-minute gaps filled from the right, available people Weekend and holiday shifts rotated fairly Overtime and rest limits flagged before the schedule is published Clock in and out with a WhatsApp message - the hours add up on their own A finished draft waiting for your approval

Why Shabetzli and Not Another Scheduling App?
Scheduling apps still leave the work with the manager: building, chasing, finding cover. Shabetzli does that work for you.

Early Access, Done Properly
Shabetzli is in private access. We're onboarding teams gradually and setting each one up ourselves - your roles, your shifts, your rules - so it runs on its own from the first week. Early teams help shape what we build next.
Personal setup
We configure your business with you, not a help-center article.
Launch pricing
Special pricing for teams that join during the launch period.
A direct line
Early teams talk to the people building the product.
Frequently asked questions
Do my employees need to download anything?
No. Shabetzli works inside WhatsApp, which your team already uses. If they can reply to a message, they're onboarded.
Who has the final say on the schedule?
You do. Shabetzli prepares a complete draft and nothing is published until you approve it. You can change anything before or after.
What happens when someone calls in sick?
Shabetzli messages the right available people - the ones with the right role who aren't already near their limits - and confirms the first suitable answer. You're notified when the gap is filled.
Can employees clock in and out with Shabetzli?
Yes. Employees send a short WhatsApp message when they start and finish - "on shift", "done for today", in their own language. Each employee can see their own hours, and you see who's on shift and everyone's hours, organized automatically.
Which languages are supported?
Each employee chooses their own language, and can change it any time. Hebrew, English, Russian, Arabic and Spanish are supported, among others, and Shabetzli understands mixed-language messages and slang.
Is it only for restaurants?
No. Shabetzli was built with restaurants first, and works for any team that runs in shifts - bars, catering, hotels, retail, security, care and gyms among them.
How much does it cost?
We're finalizing pricing with our first teams. Teams that join from the waitlist get launch pricing. Join the waitlist and we'll share the details when we reach out.
