A prompt to build your own version of 7shifts

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your 7shifts-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for a restaurant manager and their staff to handle one restaurant's schedule, tip pool calculations and team messages. The main screen should show this week's shifts, grouped by day, with staff names, roles and start and end times. Let a manager tap a shift to edit it or add a new shift. Add a tip calculator where I enter the total tips, each person's hours and role weight, then see each person's share and the calculation used. Do not send money. Add a team message board where staff can read and post updates. Use realistic sample staff, shifts, tips and messages, with a sample manager and staff view. Keep the design clean, with warm white backgrounds, dark text and green buttons.
