Franchise Employee Scheduling Software
Snap Schedule employee scheduling software lets you easily schedule employees with the right skills at precisely the right times to match workload demands. It is the easiest way for franchise owners to transform time-consuming, manual ways of employee scheduling into effortless workforce management.
Franchise owners often own more than one franchise, many times within close proximity to each other. This means that the complexity of scheduling employees increases with each new franchise added. Often laden with peak hours, high seasons and a variety of job positions to schedule and shifts to cover, franchise managers must look for ways to maximize productivity across several locations with limited staff. Union and FLSA rules could also place restrictions on work hours, overtime compensation, and the types of work schedules that can be implemented. Franchise managers must also consider time-off requests, labor rules, and personnel availability when developing schedules for full-time and part-time workers.
Snap Schedule employee scheduling software is packed with powerful shift scheduling features and gives franchise owners instant access to key decision-making criteria, including staffing requirements, regular, overtime and on-call hours, labor costs, employee skills and certifications, employee availability and preferences, and more.
