Zoom out to see the whole week, zoom in to edit, and press and hold any shift to drag it where it belongs. No laptop, no spreadsheet, no trip to the office needed. A TEAM THAT ALWAYS KNOWS THEIR SCHEDULE Employees see their shifts, time-off requests and preferred days right on their phone, with reminders before every shift. They request time off, offer and pick up shifts, and tell you which days they would like to work. Fewer surprises, fewer no-shows, and no more texting the schedule around. KNOW YOUR LABOR COST BEFORE THE WEEK STARTS • Hours and dollars for every shift, every day and the whole week, updating as you build • A daily cost plan shows each day as a percent of plan, so you can trim a slow Tuesday before it costs you • Overtime is flagged by name, so you can fix it before you publish • Auto-scheduling fills a week around availability and your cost limit, then you fine-tune it COVER CALL-OFFS IN ONE TAP Someone calls off at 4:55?
