Staff operations
Next-level scheduling & team comms
Plan the week on a clean board, publish when you are ready, and keep the floor in sync — from time off and availability to shift swaps, announcements, and day-of notes.
- Draft vs. published weeks — staff only see shifts after you publish
- Time off requests, weekly availability, and smart warnings when you build the schedule
- Self-serve shift swaps and open coverage offers, with manager approval and email updates
- Team updates, pinned messages, optional email to all staff, and per-day briefing notes for busy nights
Staff schedule
May 5 – May 11
Swap + time-off aware. New shift overlaps pending request — flagged before you publish.

Replacing one server costs more
than training your whole floor.
Recruiting, onboarding, manager hours and the slow weeks that follow put the real cost of a single hourly departure at roughly $5,864. It never appears as a line on your P&L — which is exactly why it keeps growing.
Every departure resets your service quality
Menu knowledge, upsell habits and allergen discipline walk out the door with each leaver — and the next hire starts from zero.
A confident server sells more per table
Staff who truly know the menu recommend pairings instead of taking orders. The average check follows, table after table.
Measured, not promised
Your dashboard tracks average check and retention per trained team member, so the return shows up as a number you can take to your owners.
