Labor is your largest controllable expense.
You can't control how many customers walk through the door, but you can decide
how many staff you schedule. That's why we built our scheduling to prevent
unnecessary overtime, cut hidden overstaffing, and lower your labor costs.
Quickly build & publish schedules
-
Use drag-and-drop functionality and templates to build schedules in minutes. Immediately alert staff via push notifications when schedules go live, keeping everyone in the loop and saving hours of your managers’ time every week.
Know exactly how many staff you really need
-
Forecast your scheduling needs without the guesswork using foot traffic, weather, and historical sales data. The more data you incorporate, the more accurate your schedules get – meaning less unnecessary overtime, fewer understaffed shifts, and zero unhappy customers.
Complete oversight for operational consistency
-
Staffing ratios, staffing dashboards, and labor reports give you visibility into how well your managers follow operational procedures, ensuring every team and location consistently hits its performance goals.
Stop being short staffed
-
Reduce the likelihood of call-outs by scheduling shifts to employee availability. When call-outs or no-shows do happen, let staff find their own replacements with Shift Bidding; this way, you avoid being short-staffed during busy shifts and reduce overtime costs from staff staying late.
Automatic schedule compliance
-
Follow all city, state, and federal labor laws to avoid potential fines and class action lawsuits. Enforce advance notice of schedules, maximum work hours, and minimum time between shifts when you schedule employees.

I use Excel to schedule my staff. Is an online scheduler like Workforce.com necessary?

With time clock data constantly feeding into the scheduling system, managers can actively track employee time from live clock-ins, compare scheduled vs. actual hours worked, and react appropriately to fill vacant shifts.
