Simple self-scheduling that actually works.
Why self-scheduling works
Ownership over assignment: people take more pride in shifts they chose versus shifts they were told to work. Better attitude leads to better performance.
Natural skill matching: workers know their own capabilities better than any algorithm. They self-select for shifts they can handle well.
Less no-shows: when someone chooses to work Saturday morning, they're more likely to show up than if they were just assigned that shift.
Human-centric scheduling
No forced assignments: we don't use algorithms to assign shifts to workers. People know their own schedules, preferences, and capabilities better than software.
Privacy by design: workers see available shifts, not each other's personal information. Professional boundaries maintained.
Simple technology: built for real workplaces where people have different devices, technical skills, and comfort levels with new software.
Scales without complexity: handle 20 workers or 200 workers with the same simple process. More shifts get filled without adding administrative overhead.
Perfect for many shift-based operations
- Retail & customer service: store associates, cashiers, customer support representatives. Let workers claim shifts during busy seasons, weekend rushes, or holiday periods.
- Restaurants & hospitality: servers, kitchen staff, housekeeping, front desk coverage. Workers pick up shifts that match their experience level and preferred locations.
- Warehouses & logistics: order fulfillment, package sorting, loading dock operations. Distribute peak season workload across available workers efficiently.
- Healthcare support: administrative assistants, cleaning staff, food service, patient transport. Fill non-clinical shifts without disrupting medical schedules.
- Security & facilities: guard services, reception coverage, facility maintenance. Ensure 24/7 coverage with workers who prefer different shift times.
- Events & Temporary Staffing: convention centers, concerts, festivals, promotional events. Scale staffing up and down based on event calendars and client needs.
