Built for small teams vs built for enterprise
Tanda shines in large, complex organisations with full award interpretation and workforce analytics. That power comes with an all-in-one bundle at $12.80 + GST per user per month and setup complexity a 12-person cafe rarely needs. Shiftbreeze covers the day-to-day: roster, clock-in, timesheets, penalty rates and daily ops, at a flat price.
The ops layer
Checklists, cash counts, stock takes, store photos and incident logs are included in Shiftbreeze rather than needing a second product.
Where Tanda is ahead
Tanda’s award interpretation engine calculates overtime and complex award rules automatically, validated for payroll. If you need that level of automation inside the product, Tanda does more. Shiftbreeze applies your configured penalty rates and exports hours to your payroll software where overtime is handled.
