Night hours pay differently.
The bakehouse works while the surcharge rate applies, and someone works out what that came to after the fact.
Bakeries
The bakehouse and the shops on one schedule.
The bake starts at four and the counter opens at seven. Both sets of hours land in the same week, with the night rate already on the ones that earned it.

The problem
Two working days, one wage bill.
The ovens start when the shops are closed and the counters open when the bakers are going home. Two rhythms, two schedules, and a month-end where somebody adds them up by hand.
Every shop plans on its own.
Four shops, four schedules, and you are the one retyping who is where every Sunday evening.
Hours arrive on paper.
A clock card in the bakehouse, a note at the till, then a week of typing before the wages go out.
Employee scheduling:quality(80))
Plan the bakehouse and the counter in one place.
Give production and every shop their own team and their own shifts, and see the whole business on one screen. Availability, time off and contract hours are in view while you plan.
Time tracking:quality(80))
Hours counted at the oven and at the till.
A terminal in the bakehouse, a tablet on the counter, or their own phone. Clock-ins land on the timesheet as they happen, with breaks and overtime already counted.
Payroll preparation:quality(80))
Night rates already worked out.
Night, weekend and public holiday uplifts come off a rate card and apply to the hours you approve, across production and retail alike. One payroll-ready export, no month-end rebuild. A day rate and a night rate on the same day requires Premium.

Shop managersCover the counter without a phone tree.
Post an open shift and the people with a team at that shop see it first. Somebody who covers two shops has a team at both.

Bakers and counter staffAlways know when you work.
Shifts, swaps, and leave in the app, and the hours you clocked visible to you, night shift included.
AFridaywith Shiftbase.
A bakery day starts before the last one has really finished. Here is how it looks when production and the counters plan in the same place.
The bakehouse starts.
Your baker taps in on the shared tablet by the door. The night rate starts counting from that tap, not from what anyone remembers in the morning.
The shops open.
Counter teams clock in on the till tablet. You can see all four shops opened without leaving the bakehouse.
One shop is short.
Post the open shift at that shop. Someone who has a team there as well takes it before lunch.
Close.
The last clock-out lands. Night surcharges, breaks, and overtime are already counted for payroll.
Try it out, then decide.
Set up in a day.
Every feature in your plan is open from day one, no credit card needed. Your first week can be live tonight.
Runs on shifts.
If your business runs on shifts, the setup already matches how you plan. Invite your team, set it up, and run it on a real week.
Cancel anytime.

FAQ
Got questions?
Everything about running a bakery team on Shiftbase, and if it isn't here, our team is one message away.
Yes. Each gets its own team and its own shifts, and you see the whole business on one screen, so nobody is scheduled in the bakehouse and behind a counter on the same morning.
Yes. Night, weekend, and public-holiday rates are calculated as the hours come in, so the payroll export already carries them.
On a fixed terminal in the bakehouse with a personal PIN, or on their own phone. No one has to be there to open up a system.
Not from a pool. A flexpool in Shiftbase belongs to one shop, so a person who works across shops is given a team at each of them, and each shop's open shifts then appear on their phone. It takes a few minutes to set up once and nothing after that.
Days, not a project. Add your teams, build one normal week as a template, and the next schedule builds off it.
