Coffee House Employee Scheduling Software
Snap Schedule employee scheduling software for coffee houses lets you easily schedule employees with the right skills at precisely the right times to match workload demands. It is the easiest way for coffee houses to transform time-consuming, manual ways of staff scheduling into effortless workforce management.
When it comes to scheduling baristas, coffee houses have unique challenges. The coffee business is made up of extended hours, high seasons and a variety of job positions to schedule and shifts to cover. Coffee house managers are usually given labor budgets (payroll dollars) that generally vary from week to week as store sales fluctuate. Union and FLSA rules may place restrictions on work hours, overtime compensation, and the types of work schedules that can be implemented. Coffee shop managers must also consider time-off requests, school schedules, and personnel availability when developing schedules for full-time and part-time workers.
With Snap Schedule employee scheduling software, large and small coffee shops, tea houses, and cafes will cut scheduling time, improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and strike a work-life balance for employees. In response to the worker’s rights movement, more and more legislations for stable and predictable work schedules for retail and food-service workers are being passed. These rules can be difficult and time consuming for employers to comply and when employers miss a step, high penalties are imposed. These penalties can include fines and “premium pay” to the employees affected. Snap Schedule provides the tools for employers to quickly create staff schedules, promptly notify employees of schedule changes, comply with required rests, and allow employees to request time off, bid on and swap shifts – with or without manager sign-off.
