Shift calendar for hospitality
Turna is the shift calendar for hospitality: waiting staff, kitchen, bar and front of house. Splits, straights and days off that keep moving, all painted on your phone.
Free, ad-free and without the fuss. Share it with a link over WhatsApp.
The split shift splits your month too
In hospitality a shift is not just a start time: it is whether you are on a split or a straight today, whether you are closing, whether you are off midweek and whether you are on this weekend. And all of it changes with how the season is going.
The rota gets decided at short notice, passed on by word of mouth or in the group chat, and corrected as you go. In the end your information is split between a message, a photo and whatever you remember.
When you want to make plans with somebody who works nine to five, the honest answer is usually "let me check", and checking takes more effort than it should.
Your rota, the way you picture it
You create the shifts you actually use — split, straight morning, straight afternoon, closing, day off — each with its colour and its hours. If your day off keeps rotating, you generate the cycle and then correct the days they change on you, and in hospitality there is always one.
Two calendars overlaid: yours and the other person's.

Real hours, with the break taken out
It adds up your hours for the month and deducts each shift's break so the number is the number.
