The schedule gets copied, not decided.
Last month's schedule, forward one week. Quiet mornings are full, Saturday afternoon is thin, and nobody sat down and chose that.

The problem
Every store plans alone.
Ten stores, ten spreadsheets, and no way to see the whole chain until the wage bill turns up. The busiest hour of the week is the one you're most likely to be short on.
Time off goes through the stockroom.
Six people want the same fortnight in August, three of them asked you in the stockroom, and the balances live in a spreadsheet you have not opened since June.
Contract hours slip out of sight.
Part-time contracts, plus and minus hours, students on a cap. It surfaces in payroll instead of during planning.
Employee scheduling:quality(80))
See what the week costs before you publish it.
Set a budget per store or per day and Shiftbase shows the wage cost of the week you are building against it. Contract limits and availability are in view while you plan. The charts and the hourly view require Premium.
Multi-site:quality(80))
Most shops never clock in and out.
Copy the published schedule straight to the timesheet, change the two rows that need changing, and approve the week.
Mobile app + payroll:quality(80))
Your team knows when they work and what they're paid.
Publish and the schedule lands in everyone's app. Swaps and availability run through Shiftbase instead of the staffroom noticeboard, and clocked hours flow into your payroll export.

ASaturdaywith Shiftbase.
Retail runs to a curve: a slow open, a middle that decides the day, and a close that always needs one more pair of hands. Here is how it looks when every store plans in the same place.
Open.
The opening team clocks in on the till tablet. Head office can see all ten stores opened on time.
Someone calls in.
Post the open shift. A colleague who has a team at this store as well picks it up before the morning rush.
Peak.
The floor is staffed to the hours that sell, not to last month's copy. Every clock-in lands on the timesheet in the background.
Close.
Turnover goes in and Performance sets it against worked hours, per store. You know which Saturday earned its keep.
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.

FAQ
Got questions?
Everything about running a retail team on Shiftbase, and if it isn't here, our team is one message away.
Yes, against the turnover figure you enter. Set a budget per store or per day and Shiftbase shows the wage cost of the draft against it, so you fix the draft rather than the payroll report. Shiftbase holds no till or footfall data of its own unless you connect a POS. The charts and the hourly view require Premium.
No. Shiftbase holds no footfall or traffic data, so which hours are busy stays your judgement as a store manager. What it does is show you what each version of the week costs in wages before you publish it, so the judgement has a number next to it.
Contract hours, plus and minus balances, and availability are in the schedule while you build, so overtime and conflicts show up before publish instead of in payroll.
Post it as an open shift. Everyone with a team at that store sees it in the app and takes it, or asks for it, depending on how you set it up. A flexpool belongs to one store, so somebody who works across stores is given a team at each.
Yes. Connect your till through the App Center and the turnover comes across on its own, so you can set it against worked hours per store and per day.
