Scheduling Overview

We started with 2 employees and now we have a total of 14. We are open 7 days a week, 10:00AM to 8:00PM and require specific staff functions to be filled during all hours of operation. We also offer classes to the general public thus we have to match staff schedules to classes.

Previous Scheduling Method

None, we went straight to ShiftPlanning.

Since ShiftPlanning

We would recommend the work scheduler ShiftPlanning.

We have saved time. - Diana Montgomery - Facility Coordinator- NextFab Studio, LLC
