Plan the week in a clear grid

Monday through Sunday, per department, with colour codes per team. Shifts are created in seconds — and anything that comes back often, you never plan twice.

  • Week, day and month views — switch perspectives to suit the situation
  • Departments with their own colours — kitchen, service, bar: instantly recognisable
  • Quick duration presets — 4, 6 or 8 hours, or your opening hours as the default
  • Recurring shifts — daily, weekly or biweekly, up to 52 repetitions
  • Week templates — save an entire week and apply it again later

Scheduling together

Open shifts and your team's availability

Not every shift needs a name up front. Open up shifts and let employees sign up — you stay in control.

  • Open shifts — plan without an employee, the team signs up
  • Review claims — assign a sign-up or pick someone else yourself
  • Submit availability — employees submit recurring unavailability, subject to approval
  • Favourites & colleagues — employees follow up to 10 favourite colleagues and see the team schedule

Safeguards

Publish with confidence

Everything you plan starts as a draft. The system flags conflicts before the schedule goes to your team — and you see right away what the week will cost.

  • Draft versus published — publish only when everything is right, with full undo/redo
  • Conflict detection — warnings for leave, unavailability and double bookings
  • Working Hours Act check — enforce the Dutch Working Hours Act (ATW): warn or block, you choose
  • Opener and closer check — see per day whether someone can open and close
  • Labour costs at a glance — estimated costs per day and per week (admins only)
