Since the Federal Labor Court ruling and the reform of the Working Hours Act, employers must systematically record all working time. What that means in practice, which deadlines and requirements apply — and what digital systems really have to deliver.

SMARTCHILLI is a GDPR-compliant PWA for cooperative shift planning. Instead of assigning shifts top-down, employees see open shifts as cards and decide via swipe whether to accept. It replaces Excel, phone chains and WhatsApp groups.
For any business with shift, on-call or part-time work: hospitality, catering, hotels, event agencies, exhibition builders, retail, staffing agencies and temporary employment firms.
From €0.70 per shift in the Max plan. The entry plan SMARTCHILLI Start starts at €49.00/month including 50 shifts. The more you plan, the cheaper each shift gets. All plans are cancellable monthly.
Usually under 3 minutes: once a shift is released, matching employees receive a push notification and can accept via swipe. Customers report fill rates of up to 95% instead of the industry-typical 60%.
Yes. Data is hosted in Western Europe, every communication runs through the platform as a processor and is documented audit-proof — including specifics for temporary staffing.
No. SMARTCHILLI is a Progressive Web App and runs directly in the browser. Optionally it can be pinned to the home screen like a native app — no store download required.
As a rule of thumb, from around 10 regularly scheduled employees or roughly 50 shifts per month — covered by the entry plan SMARTCHILLI Start (€49/month). It's particularly cost-effective for 20 to 500 employees with fluctuating shifts in hospitality, hotels, catering, events, exhibition builds, retail or staffing. At the top end, the Max plan scales to several thousand shifts per month from €0.70 per shift.
Classical tools assign shifts top-down: dispatch allocates, employees confirm or decline — usually via email, phone or WhatsApp. SMARTCHILLI flips the model: open shifts are surfaced as cards, and matching employees swipe to accept. That cuts back-and-forth, lifts fill rates to up to 95%, and puts communication, time tracking (audit-proof) and shift history into one GDPR-compliant PWA — no app-store install required.
Excel and messengers work for up to around 10 employees with stable shifts. Once shifts fluctuate, sites multiply or legal time-tracking obligations apply, manual processes become a risk: missing records, double bookings, unfilled shifts. A specialised solution like SMARTCHILLI typically pays off from around 10 employees or 50 shifts per month.
