SynergySuite Labor & Scheduling is cloud software for coordinating restaurant staffing across locations. Managers can create schedules using forecasted sales, review availability, send schedules and reminders, approve shift swaps, handle absences and time-off requests, and communicate with employees in real time. The Cover app lets employees view schedules, hours, and coworkers, update availability, request time off, and swap shifts. Labor compliance warnings flag potential overtime and possible breaches of federal, state, and local laws. A dedicated clocking app can restrict clock-ins by IP or Wi-Fi and support break clock-ins or automatic break deductions. Managers can validate and adjust clocking data before sending it to an existing payroll system. Integrations cover POS, accounting, payroll, supplier, and HR systems, with EDI suppliers or email ordering where applicable. Pricing is quoted per location per month and varies by location count and modules. A subscription requires at least three modules, including reporting. The company says customers typically have 20 or more locations to get the most benefit.
