Gym scheduling

Front desk covered from the first check-in to lights out

An example weekday: long hours covered by three desk shifts, with extra help at the evening peak.

Long hours, early openers and availability that changes each term.

A gym can be open 18 hours a day. That's three or four desk shifts every day, often staffed by people with class schedules.

Opening staff
The 5 AM opener is the shift you can't miss. Days with nobody scheduled are flagged, and the opener clocks in against their shift.
Front desk
Desk shifts saved as templates, painted across the week in a few clicks.
Closing
A closing shift that overlaps the evening desk so the last hour isn't one person alone.
Changing availability
Staff update their own availability when their class schedule changes. The next week's publish check picks it up.
Swaps and call-outs
Staff trade shifts or post one for coverage in the app. You approve either.

Clocking in at the desk

A tablet at the desk is the time clock.

Staff pick Clock In, enter their PIN and they're on the clock against today's shift. Lunches and clock-outs work the same way. Early starts are recorded as they happen.

What Zchedule doesn't do: Zchedule doesn't book classes, manage memberships or check members in. Instructors can be scheduled as staff shifts, but class sign-ups stay in your gym software.
