We sell the closed shift, not the calendar.

Most tools manage the schedule. Relay fills the hole in it. A manager sends one text, and the shift closes in minutes on the phone staff already carry.

Built for the dinner rush

Four things that matter when someone calls out at 4pm.

Text, not an app

Staff get a message on the number they already use. Nothing to download, no new login.

Posted in under a minute

A manager picks the shift and sends. Relay texts only the eligible staff who are not already scheduled.

First to accept wins

One tap to take it. The first yes gets the shift, and the rest are told it is covered.

Schedule stays current

The accepted shift lands on the schedule for everyone. You keep a record of who was asked and who answered.

Why Relay

A closed shift, measured in minutes.

An open shift on a Friday afternoon is not a calendar problem. It is a floor that is short one person at 6pm. Relay was built around that single moment: one text out, one yes back, one shift closed. Everything else on the screen exists to make that faster and to keep the schedule honest afterward.

Who it is for

01

Single-location restaurants

Full-service dinner spots with 10 to 40 hourly staff and a posted schedule.

02

The owner or GM

Someone who already runs the floor from a phone and does not want another dashboard.

03

The manager on shift

The person who hears about the call-out first and needs it covered before service.

How a shift closes

  1. Post it

    Pick the date, time and role. Relay already knows who is eligible and not scheduled.

  2. Relay texts them

    Eligible staff get one message on their own phone. No install, no training.

  3. First yes takes it

    The shift closes on the first acceptance and the schedule updates for everyone.

Questions

Waitlist members hear about every change first.

What is $RELAY?

$RELAY is Relay’s own coin on pump.fun: a coin with a company behind it. The creator fees fund the company: 60% go to the AI team that builds Relay, and every trade funds the next build. Holding it gives no revenue share or rewards. It has not launched yet; it launches on pump.fun.

Do my staff need to install anything?

No. Staff receive a text on the phone number they already use. There is no app to download and no new login for the floor.

Who gets asked about a shift?

Relay texts the eligible staff for that role who are not already scheduled for that time. The first to accept gets the shift, and everyone else is told it is covered.

What does it cost?

$49 per location per month, billed monthly to the owner's card. The price does not scale with headcount, so a small team is not penalized.

Does it replace my scheduling tool?

Relay is built to fill the open shift. It keeps a record of who was asked and who answered, and the accepted shift lands on the schedule.

When can I use it?

Relay is not open yet. Join the waitlist on this page and we will contact you when early access opens for your location.
