How it works

Shift Manager Buddy follows a simple operating model so managers and staff aren’t fighting the tool.

1) Add a business
Create one business or many. Locations are optional.
2) Define roles + employees
Assign roles that match how you actually schedule.
3) Schedule shifts
Use the calendar view to plan coverage and edit fast.
4) Clock in/out via kiosk
Simple PIN-based time clock with optional notes.

Features teams actually use

Built to be simple in the UI, but structured enough to support reporting and AI analysis later.

Start free
