Build the system your bar runs on.
We set it up with you, around how you run the week. Then it builds every week your way.
Running at Double Chicken Please, New York.
Harbor & Vine
Example venue
Sat open has no key holder. Priya is on leave, and the other two already have five shifts.
“I used to spend 3 hours every week creating schedules for both houses. Now, it takes just 30 minutes. By streamlining the process, I’ve reclaimed 2.5 hours every week to focus on what matters most: running the bar and growing the business.”
Double Chicken Please is a founding client and pays a founding-client rate.
From 3 hours to 30 minutes.
- Before
- The weekly schedule depended on a spreadsheet and on what one person knew.
- Now
- CrewWeek builds the whole week against the venue's rules, flags what it could not cover and leaves the final call with management.
- Next
- Their team is trying out Prep now, before it replaces the prep spreadsheet, so scheduling and prep run in one place.
Start with the job that eats your week.
Scheduling and prep are where CrewWeek started.
Who works when
Built from your rules and everyone's availability, before anyone sees the week.
What to make today
What to prep today and what's due this week, worked out from your minimum stock.

We write down how you run it
Your rules, your words for things, and how the week should look on paper. You keep the written rules, even if you don't go ahead.
- “Sam can't work Mondays.”
- “Prep lime juice to par, without making more than we can use in two days.”
Week 1
We set it up, you check it
Your staff, positions and recipes go in. You check it on screen and on paper before your team uses it.
A few weeks
It builds every week
The whole week, ready for you to check, change and publish.
Every week
Let's look at your week.
We'll set a time to go through your week with you. We set up a few venues at a time. If your week is simple and a free app already handles it, keep it: CrewWeek is for weeks with more rules than that. To start, tell us:
- What you plan the week with today
- How many venues you run, and roughly how many staff
- What takes the longest

CrewWeek is made by Nova Hour.
Is this custom software?
It's software, set up for you. One CrewWeek system, configured around how your venue actually runs: we map your workflow and rules, then set them up in the product. When a new problem fits CrewWeek, we scope it separately.
How is it priced?
Two parts. A one-off setup fee, quoted once we've been through your week. Then a monthly fee per venue, covering hosting, updates and support, including changes to your rules. Anything new, like another workflow, is scoped and quoted before work starts.
