Restaurant scheduling software is designed to help restaurants and other food service industry businesses organize their workforce schedule. Restaurant managers and owners can organize their shift schedules quickly and easily, possibly even sending mass texts to employees to fill last-minute shift changes. Both managers and employees can use restaurant scheduling software to see exactly what the schedule looks like for the next several shifts, clock in and clock out, and even send and receive texts. Rather than use a whiteboard or spreadsheet to manually track employee scheduling, restaurant scheduling software facilitates setting up and making changes to a schedule. Restaurant scheduling software may be used alongside or integrate with restaurant management software, restaurant POS systems, and other back-office software such as accounting software and employee management tools.
To qualify for inclusion in the Restaurant Scheduling category, a product must:
Create calendars to track employee shifts
Maintain a list of those currently employed by the restaurant
Have the option to clock in and clock out
Provide features specifically designed for the needs of the restaurant industry
