About Raika

We give staffing planners their evenings back.

Raika began with a simple frustration: planning a team's week shouldn't take a Friday evening and a spreadsheet nobody trusts. So we built something calmer.

Our mission

Make workforce planning simple, reliable and fair — for every shift team in Switzerland.

Why we built it

The patchwork wasn't working.

Most small and mid-sized shift businesses run on a patchwork: a spreadsheet for the rota, a group chat for swaps, a notebook for hours, and a monthly scramble to make payroll add up. It's slow, it's stressful, and it quietly breaks working-time rules.

We thought planning should feel like the rest of a well-run business — calm, clear, and trustworthy. So we built one system that turns availability, skills and Swiss working-time rules into a published schedule in minutes, keeps balances everyone can trust, and runs in any browser.

Today Raika helps restaurants, retailers, care teams and trades across Switzerland plan smarter and move faster — without losing control.

What we believe

Three principles behind every decision.

01

Calm by default

Software should reduce noise, not add to it. We design for clarity and quiet confidence — fewer screens, fewer surprises, less to think about.

02

Numbers you can trust

A balance is only useful if everyone believes it. Hours, overtime and approvals stay transparent and consistent — for managers and employees alike.

03

No lock-in

Your data is yours. Export everything in a few clicks, anytime. We earn your business each month — we don't trap it.
