A staff app for your pet store — not another group text
Replace feeding and shift notes lost in a group chat. Your pet storecrew gets one simple app: announcements everyone sees, who's on shift today, the week's schedule, and group channels for the floor, register, and animal care. It installs on any phone in seconds — no App Store, nothing for your staff to buy.

Everything your team loses track of, in one place
The same five screens your pet store runs on — messages, who's working, when, and where — plus a one-tap install. Every example below is content you replace with your own.
Announcements everyone sees
Post the shift note or schedule change once and it lands on every phone — no more "I never saw that text" or a message lost in your pet store's group chat.
Who's on shift, right now
A live roster of the floor, register, and animal care, so anyone can see at a glance who's working and who to hand off to.
The week's shifts & open slots
This week's schedule and any open shifts in one place, so the team knows when they're on and can pick up a gap.
Group channels by team
Separate channels — Sales floor, Register, Animal care & stock — so the right people get the right message instead of one noisy thread.
A shift-start check-in
A simple "I'm on" tap to open a shift — handy for lone or late workers. It's a coordination tool, not a monitored emergency system (see the FAQ for exactly what it is and isn't).
Installs on any phone
Send a link or print the QR code; the team taps "Add to Home Screen." No App Store, no download, nothing for staff to buy.
Tap through a live pet store team app
Not a mockup — it's the genuine retail store crew demo, running with clearly-labelled example content. Open the announcements, roster, shifts, and channels, then start your own from the same template. No signup.
The demo shows a full pet store crew — the floor, register, and animal care — so you can see how it feels before you rename anything. Nothing in it is a real team until you make it one.
Open the live demoInstalls like an app, no app store
The pet storeteam app is an installable web app. Your crew opens a link or scans a QR code and adds it to their home screen — it opens full-screen and works offline for the basics. It's deliberately not a native App Store / Google Play app, so there's nothing to download, no per-seat fees, and no review to wait on. Want it in the App Store or Play Store anyway? That's a separate paid path we can walk you through.
A pet store staff app, answered
What it is, what it isn't, and how honest we keep the example content.
What is a pet store staff app?+
It's one simple app your pet store team keeps on their phones instead of an overflowing group chat: announcements everyone sees, a live roster of who's on shift, this week's schedule and open shifts, and group channels like Sales floor and Register. You start from our retail store crew template and rename everything to fit your team.
Is this a real app my pet store staff install?+
Yes — it's an installable web app (a PWA). Your team opens a link or scans a QR code and taps "Add to Home Screen," and it lives on their phone like any other app, works offline for the basics, and opens full-screen. It is not a native App Store / Google Play download, so there's nothing to submit for review and no per-seat fees. If you specifically want it in the App Store or Play Store, that's a separate paid path.
Is the example roster, shifts, and messages real?+
No. The pet store template ships with clearly-labelled example content — the team, shifts, and channel names — so you can see how it works with a full screen instead of a blank one. You replace all of it with your own. We never present invented staff, schedules, or metrics as real; that's a firm rule across the whole product.
Does it include a safety check-in?+
There's an optional shift-start check-in — a simple "I'm on" tap so the rest of the crew can see a shift has started. It's a coordination tool, not a monitored alarm: it doesn't call for help and must not be relied on as a lone-worker safety device or a substitute for emergency services. If you need a monitored safety system, use a purpose-built, certified service.
How much does it cost my pet store team?+
Your staff pay nothing and install nothing from an app store — they just open a link. The team app is one of the app templates included with a plan; see pricing for what's on each tier.
Can I see it before I build one?+
Yes — there's a live, tappable demo built on the retail store crew engine you can open right now with no signup. Tap through the announcements, roster, shifts, and channels on a real phone-sized preview, then start your own from the same template.
Run a different kind of crew?
Every trade that runs on shifts gets its own team app — built on one of six real crew engines, all editable, all honest.
