Feature
Create employee shift schedules in minutes
Building a shift schedule shouldn't mean re-typing a spreadsheet every week. ScheduleSpark gives you one calendar to assign shifts, publish the week, and let the team find out automatically.
The problem with spreadsheet scheduling
A spreadsheet doesn't notify anyone when it changes, doesn't know who's available, and gets copied and re-copied until nobody's sure which version is current. It works for two or three people; it breaks down the moment a team relies on notifications or confirmations.
How managers create shifts
Add workers once, tag them by role, and build shifts directly on a Teams-style weekly calendar. Assign one worker or several to the same shift, copy a shift to another day, and reuse recurring templates for shifts that repeat every week.
How workers are assigned
While you're building the schedule, you can check each worker's stated availability before assigning them, so you're not finding out about a conflict after the schedule is already out.
How schedules are published and changed
Publishing sends every worker their own email notification with just their shifts. If plans change afterward, shift change management re-notifies only the workers affected by the update.
Who it's suitable for
Any team that schedules rotating or shift-based workers — restaurants, cafés, retail stores, healthcare teams, hospitality, logistics, and construction crews all build their weekly schedule this way.
FAQ
Do I need to re-enter my whole team every week?
No. Workers are added once, and you reuse the same roster every week — you're only building the shifts, not re-adding people.
Can two workers cover the same shift?
Yes — a shift can have more than one worker assigned, so overlapping coverage (like two cashiers during a rush) is a normal part of building the calendar.
What happens after I publish the schedule?
Every worker is emailed their own upcoming shifts and can acknowledge each one with a single tap from a mobile-friendly page.
