Store managers build their own week, head office sees all of them. Part-timers set their availability, pick up open shifts across locations, and clock in on a tablet at the cash desk. Labour cost by store and by position is a report, not a spreadsheet.
What gets in the way
One manager uses a whiteboard, another a spreadsheet, a third texts. Head office learns about coverage gaps from customers.
Students and second-jobbers update availability by text message, and the schedule is built against last month’s version.
Most scheduling tools charge per location or per user, so opening a second store doubles the software bill before it earns a dollar.
How Shift Terminal fits
Each store is its own schedule and job site with its own geofence. Managers see their store; admins see all of them. Labour sharing lets a downtown associate cover a shift at the mall, and cross-store hours count together for overtime.
Staff set preferred and unavailable times themselves, repeating weekly or biweekly with an end date for exam season, and managers are notified when it changes. Auto-assign uses it when filling the week.
Lock a shared tablet as a terminal. Associates punch in with an employee ID and PIN, optionally with a photo, and punches queue if the store Wi-Fi drops.
Hours by Job Site and Hours by Position reports, a Labor Cost report against your forecast, and scheduled e-mails so the district manager gets Monday’s numbers without asking.
Included
All of it is included in the one flat price. These are the areas that matter most for teams like yours.
