Respect the shift
Our users are on their feet all day. Every screen has to work in ten seconds, one-handed, with flour on it.
About us
Orbit started in 2021 at a café table in Ancoats, when Siobhan spent her third Sunday night in a row fixing a rota spreadsheet and Rui said “I can build you something better”. Five years later, 4,200 venues schedule with it.
Values
Our users are on their feet all day. Every screen has to work in ten seconds, one-handed, with flour on it.
Schedules shape people’s lives. Orbit nudges toward fair hours, enough notice and real breaks.
We write like a good shift lead talks: clear, kind and to the point.
Profitable since 2024. We grow at the pace our customers and our team can enjoy.
Team
We hire people who have done the job our customers do. It shows in the product.
