Manager guide
Build the week, send it out
You can do everything staff can, plus approve people, plan the floor and publish the rota.
- 1
Approve your team
New sign-ups land in the queue on Team. Approve each person as staff or as a manager — whatever they asked for, the decision is yours.
- 2
Post your own hours too
Managers work shifts as well. Availability behaves exactly the same for you as it does for staff.
- 3
Plan the week
Planning shows every day of the week with who's free on it. Add a shift to a day, give it a name like Bar or Floor, and assign someone.
- 4
Send hours to staff
One button publishes the week. Everyone with a shift gets an email listing their times and a notification in the app.
Roles and limits
- There can be several managers. Any of them can approve people, plan the week and publish it.
- Only the owner deletes accounts. Rejecting or removing someone is limited to the owner's account.
- Assigning outside availability is allowed. If someone hasn't said they're free, you'll be warned but not blocked.
