Coffee shop scheduling

Stop scheduling people who can't work.

Class schedules, second jobs, that one Tuesday thing. Your baristas set their availability once, and Zchedule drafts the week around it instead of around your memory.

14 days of Pro, no credit card. The trial starts with your first shift, not today.

Generating a draft week in the Zchedule app with Respect availability, Avoid overtime and Balance hours fairly switched on, about to create 27 draft shifts.

Availability first

The schedule starts from who can work, not who you remembered.

Employees keep their availability current in the app. The draft-week generator respects it, and if you hand-place a shift on someone's day off anyway, the publish check tells you before the team sees it.

Open and close

Openers and closers, visible at a glance.

Save your opening, mid and closing shifts as templates and paint them across the week. A day with no one on it gets called out on the board before it becomes a locked door at 6am.

Call-outs

A sick barista is one posted shift, not a phone tree.

Post the shift for coverage and whoever can take it claims it in the app. You approve, the schedule updates, and only the people involved hear about it.

Every seat behind the counter.

Part-timers and students included, without the weekly guessing about who can actually come in.
