Better Together: ShiftNinja + LIQUORexam

Hospitality businesses need more than just scheduling — they need compliance.
That’s why ShiftNinja is built to work hand-in-hand with LIQUORexam, a leading
alcohol and food safety training provider.

Together, you get:

  • Smart scheduling and training assignment in one platform
  • Seamless integration with LIQUORexam for course access, tracking, and reporting
  • Built-in visibility into certification status and compliance gaps
  • Fewer compliance risks, faster onboarding, and smoother operations

One partnership. One platform. Compliance made manageable.

Tools That Keep Shifts Covered and Teams Compliant

ShiftNinja gives hospitality teams the tools they actually use — from building schedules to enforcing role rules and staying compliant. Everything works together so managers spend less time fixing problems and more time running their business.

Schedule Builder

Build schedules quickly with a fast, visual calendar designed for hospitality teams.

Create and manage schedules for up to 14 days at a time using drag-and-drop tools that make coverage, roles, and conflicts easy to spot before publishing.

ShiftNinja employee scheduling dashboard showing weekly restaurant staff schedules, roles, and hours with color-coded shifts and overtime warnings.

Role & Age Rules

Protect your business by preventing scheduling mistakes before they happen.

Automatically block underage or unqualified employees from restricted roles based on age, position, and location rules.

Shift Swaps & Time-Off

Give employees flexibility without losing manager control.

Allow staff to request shift swaps and time off while keeping approvals, coverage, and accountability in one place.

Reports & Insights

Get clear visibility into labor hours, staffing trends, and operational performance. ShiftNinja reports help managers spot issues early, track patterns across locations, and make informed scheduling decisions without digging through spreadsheets.

Team Chat

Keep work conversations in one place — not personal text messages.

Use built-in 1-to-1 and group chat to communicate about shifts, coverage, and daily operations while keeping conversations tied to your team and schedules.

Announcements

Keep everyone aligned with clear, centralized updates.

Share schedule changes, policy reminders, and operational announcements with individuals, teams, or entire locations — so important information is seen and not missed.

Training Integration

Keep compliance visible and connected to your team.

Training and certification data from LIQUORexam sync directly to employee profiles, making it easy to track completion status and stay audit-ready without manual follow-ups.

Timekeeping & Attendance

Clock in and out using mobile devices or shared in-store tablets, with geofencing and break tracking built in.

• Mobile and tablet clock-in/out
• Geofencing by location
• Break and attendance tracking

Planned for release in 2026.

Multi-Location Management

Manage schedules across one or many locations from a single account.

Create location-specific schedules, roles, and rules while maintaining centralized visibility for owners and managers.

Overtime Warnings

Get visibility into overtime risks before schedules are finalized.

See when shifts may push employees into overtime so you can adjust coverage and control labor costs proactively.

  • Independent restaurants & bars

  • Multi-location hospitality groups
