Restaurant scheduling

Someone called out. Don't start texting everyone.

Post the open shift once and the people who could take it see it in the app. Someone volunteers, you approve, and the schedule updates itself.

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

The Zchedule weekly schedule board on the web: opening, mid and closing shift templates, every team member in a row, and a warning that Saturday has no staff scheduled.

Call-outs

Coverage without the group-chat scramble.

Mark the shift as needing coverage. Everyone eligible sees it, someone claims it, and you approve. Nobody else gets pinged about a shift that was never theirs.

Swaps

Two people trade, you approve once.

Employees agree to a swap in the app and it comes to you as a single approval. Say yes and both schedules update on their phones.

Before it goes out

The week gets checked before your staff sees it.

Press Publish and Zchedule reads the week back to you first: who's into overtime, who's booked on a day they marked unavailable, which days have nobody on them. Fix it, or publish anyway.

Overtime
Anyone scheduled past their weekly hour limit, with the hours over.
Availability conflicts
Shifts on a day off, outside someone's hours, or on a blocked date.
Uncovered days
Days inside a working week with nobody scheduled at all.

One board for the floor and the line.

Front of house and back of house on the same week, so a thin Friday shows up before Friday does.

FAQ

Questions worth answering up front.

No. Drafts stay hidden until you publish, and when you change one shift afterwards, only the affected person is notified.

Next week's schedule is going to get built either way.
