The challenges of modern retail

Staff misaligned with foot traffic

Too many people on quiet mornings, not enough on Saturday afternoons or during Sales periods.

Multiple stores, multiple headaches

Coordinating schedules across several locations from a spreadsheet is unmanageable.

High staff turnover

Getting new hires into the rotation without errors takes hours every month.

Out-of-control payroll costs

Without visibility into total hours, unplanned overtime blows the budget.

The system automatically distributes weekends fairly among the entire team.

Does it work for multiple stores?
