What it is
Schedulefly is employee scheduling software for independent restaurants and other hospitality businesses. Managers can create, copy, and publish schedules online, while staff receive alerts by text or email. Employees can enter availability and time-off requests, and offer or pick up available shifts; managers approve trades, which update schedules and send alerts. Team messaging and announcements are available 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 sync can provide reminders about upcoming shifts. The service runs on web, iOS, and Android, with free mobile apps for checking schedules, trading shifts, and messaging teammates. Pricing starts at $30/mo for up to 19 staff, with all features included at that tier. 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.
