What it is
Schedulefly provides employee scheduling software for independent restaurants and other hospitality businesses, including bars, breweries, coffee shops, and boutique hotels. Managers can create, copy, and publish schedules online. Staff can receive text or email alerts, enter availability and time-off requests, and offer or pick up available shifts; managers approve trades, after which schedules and alerts update automatically. Teams can send messages and announcements by text and email, and the features page says broadcast texts have no cap. Managers can enter sales forecasts and track expected labor costs as a percentage of sales. Other tools include a multi-unit dashboard, employee database, manager notes, document sharing, reporting, and job postings. Google Calendar can sync for upcoming-shift reminders. Free iOS and Android apps let staff check schedules, trade shifts, and message teammates; Schedulefly also runs on the web. The plan for up to 19 staff costs $30 a month, with all features included. A 30-day free trial is available. Schedulefly says there are no setup fees or contracts and customers can cancel anytime. It was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Waxhaw, North Carolina.
