What people ask

Pain point

How can I make a staff rota without scheduling software?

PAnswer from Pludor

Enter your opening hours, people needed per shift and staff availability in Pludor's free Staff Shift Schedule Maker. You get a weekly rota with hours per person and any shifts still to cover.

Pain point

How can I schedule staff around their availability?

PAnswer from Pludor

List each person with the days and times they can work - the schedule only puts them in shifts they can take.

Problem

Why does making the weekly schedule take so long?

PAnswer from Pludor

Matching availability, coverage and fair hours by hand is slow. The maker does the first draft for you to adjust.

Choosing a tool

The problem

Owners rebuild the rota every week by hand and someone always ends up with too many or too few hours.

From result to running business: Pludor Team Staff

Sharing one owner login with staff is insecure and makes it impossible to see who did what.

Team Staff gives each employee their own sign-in and POS PIN so they can work orders, the inbox and the POS without the owner's password.

On for every store, including the Free plan - a free amount every month, then pay only for what you use (1 credit = 1 cent).
