What would happen if hitting labor could be taken for granted? What if you could schedule a weeks schedules in a half hour?  What if you didn’t have to remember all of the employee requests for time off and your schedules factored in your specific sales trends?  Would you save time?  Would you save money?  Of course you would!   Fortunately, it is now possible to do everything that I just mentioned, and a whole lot more, with MrSchedule.com.  We didn’t just create another tool to help you format and track schedules that you make.   Instead, we analyzed the scheduling from the ground up.  We quizzed the top schedule designers, and we turned the problem upside-down and studied it from every angle until we could create fantastic schedules again and again. Then we took everything we had learned and transformed it into more than 78,000 lines of code that our computers could use to duplicate what their human counterparts were spending hours per week working on!  In other words, we automated the process…

MrSchedule.com does more than help you make schedules…  It makes them for you!  Using the concept of Computer Assisted Scheduling, the system monitors sales trends and then automatically schedules shifts according to a financially viable labor percentage specific to each restaurant.  In this process, employees are ranked based on their skills to ensure that your strongest team members are allocated appropriately along the peaks of the schedules.  Additionally, your employees can submit time-off requests to the system and as managers review and approve them they will automatically be accounted for - it doesn’t matter if the request is two days in the future or two months away… Once approved, the schedule will be created correctly when the day arrives!

One of the core goals of MrSchedule.com is to greatly reduce the amount of time that your scheduling manager spends on the creation process. By automating the tedious, repetitive mathematical calculations, human error is virtually eliminated and the focus of the manager begins to shift away from juggling times and more towards building the individual skills of the employees.  The benefit is two-fold; a well-rounded work force helps the system create better schedules and the manager has more time to build that well-round work force…
