Friday needs 5 staff. Tuesday needs 2. One schedule handles both.

Event scheduling is a different beast. Late nights, variable demand, part-time staff with gig schedules.

The group chat era
  • Saturday's wedding needs 14 servers. You have 9 confirmed and 3 who haven't replied
  • Your roster is a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group. Neither tells you who's actually free
  • Different headcount every event, part-time staff with shifting availability, last-minute gaps
  • Calculating hours for staff who worked 3 different events in one week
  • "Anyone free Saturday?" texts that go unanswered for hours
With Turnozo
  • Post events, staff confirm from their phone. See who's in at a glance
  • Staff set availability weekly. You know who's free before you start asking
  • Open shifts go to available staff instantly. First to accept gets it
  • Automatic timesheets per event. Export clean hours for payroll
  • One schedule per event, one dashboard for everything

Schedule templates

Different templates for different nights

Monday needs 2 people. Friday needs 5. Save templates for each night type, drop the right one in, adjust for who's available. Stop rebuilding from scratch every week. Part of Turnozo's scheduling tools.

  • Separate templates for peak vs quiet nights
  • Drag-and-drop to adjust staffing levels
  • Reuse patterns so you're not rebuilding every week
Open shifts

A server no-showed on Friday. Guests are arriving in an hour.

Post the shift as open. Available staff get notified on their phone. First to accept gets it. No group chat begging, no calling down a list. Part of Turnozo's scheduling tools.

  • Available staff notified instantly
  • One tap to accept
  • Schedule updates for the whole team

Availability management

Students, musicians, part-timers. All in one view.

Half your team has a different schedule every week. With Turnozo, they update their own availability from their phone. You see who's actually free before you start building the rota.

  • Staff update availability from their phone
  • See who's free before you build the week
  • Time-off requests with manager approval
Time tracking

Hours tracked. Even past 3 AM.

Staff clock in when they arrive, clock out when cleanup's done. Overnight shifts tracked correctly. No rounding arguments at payroll. Learn more about time tracking.

  • Mobile clock-in with GPS verification
  • Late-night shifts tracked across midnight
  • Export timesheets for payroll
  • Overtime flagged automatically
