Shift Scheduling

Build next week's schedule in 15 minutes, not two hours.

Staff submit availability on their phone. You confirm shifts on a visual grid — with automatic warnings for conflicts and overtime.

Pricing

The old way is costing you time every single week.

  • WhatsApp threads that spiral out of control

    Availability requests, last-minute changes, no-shows — all buried in a group chat. Something always gets missed.

  • Hours building the schedule in Excel

    Copy-pasting names, checking who's available, manually watching for overlaps. Every week, the same grind.

  • Double bookings you only discover on the day

    Two people scheduled for one role, or a shift with no cover. You find out when it's too late to fix easily.

A scheduling grid that thinks with you.

Staff submit their availability for the week through the CrewBase app. You see everyone's availability at a glance on a weekly grid. Drag to assign shifts. The system warns you in real time if someone is double-booked, working too many hours, or assigned outside their availability. Publish the schedule — staff see it instantly on their phone.

What changes on day one

    Staff submit through the app. All requests are in one place, searchable and filterable.

  • Conflicts flagged before you publish

    Overlaps, overtime, and unavailable slots are highlighted automatically as you build the schedule.

  • Everyone sees the final schedule instantly

    Publish once. Staff are notified on their phone. No printing, no forwarding, no confusion.

  • Full schedule history

    See what was scheduled vs what actually happened. Useful for planning and for resolving disputes.

Common questions

Can staff swap shifts with each other?

Shift swap requests can be submitted through the app and approved by a manager before the change is confirmed.

How far ahead can you schedule?

There's no limit. You can schedule days, weeks, or months ahead depending on your operation.

Does it work for multiple locations?

Yes. Each location has its own schedule view, and managers can be given access to one or multiple stores.

What if a staff member doesn't have a smartphone?

Managers can enter availability and shifts manually on their behalf from the web dashboard.
