Schedules Made Simple overview

What is Schedules Made Simple?

Schedules Made Simple is restaurant scheduling and workforce management software built for independent restaurants and small multi-location groups.

Functions include drag-and-drop schedule building on the web, full schedule creation and editing from the native mobile app (not just viewing), employee-submitted availability and time-off requests, shift trading with manager approval, geofenced mobile check-ins, automatic and template-based schedule generation, daily task assignment and tracking, break planning, and in-app team messaging with history.

Specs: the platform supports unlimited workers and unlimited locations on its paid tier, offers full bilingual support in English and Spanish, and runs on both iOS and Android alongside a web-based manager dashboard.

Pricing is flat-rate rather than per-seat: free for businesses with 10 or fewer employees, $7.95 per month total for unlimited employees and locations, with no contracts required.

Support is provided directly by the team behind the product rather than outsourced to a third party.
