Can I schedule a mix of full-time and part-time staff?

Yes. Full-timers set recurring weekly patterns. Part-timers update their availability as it changes. You see everyone together when building the schedule.

How do I handle no-shows on busy days?

Mark the shift as open. Turnozo notifies available staff instantly. The first to accept gets it. No phone calls, no chasing people.

Can I create different schedules for holidays and seasonal rushes?

Yes. Build different schedules for any pattern — regular weeks, weekends, holidays, sale events. Copy previous weeks and adjust as needed.

Is Turnozo affordable for a small retail store?

Turnozo starts at €2.47 per person per month. A store with 10 staff pays under €25/month. No minimum team size, no setup fee, no contracts. Cancel anytime.

Can staff check the schedule from their phone?

Yes. Turnozo has a full mobile app for iOS and Android. Staff can check their schedule, update availability, accept open shifts, and clock in/out.

Does it track overtime in real time?

Yes. You can see who's approaching their weekly limit before scheduling them for another shift. No more overtime surprises at payroll.

How does absence management work?

Staff request time off in the app. You approve or decline. Approved absences block their availability automatically.

Can I manage multiple store locations?

Yes. Manage all locations from one account. Staff who float between stores set availability per location. No extra charge for multiple locations.

The real cost of retail scheduling problems

Retail runs on tight margins and high turnover. Getting scheduling right isn't optional; it's the difference between profit and loss.

60%

Average retail employee turnover rate

The fourth highest of any industry, behind hospitality (130%), arts and entertainment (127%), and construction. Every departure costs $3,500-$5,000 to replace.

67%

Retail workers who are part-time

Two-thirds of your workforce has availability that changes every week. Manual scheduling with this ratio means constant rescheduling and understaffed shifts.

Source: National Retail Federation

8-12%

Revenue lost to understaffing

Empty registers and unstocked shelves during peak hours drive customers to competitors. One understaffed Saturday costs more than a month of scheduling software.

Schedule inflexibility is the top reason retail workers quit

Ahead of pay in many surveys. Workers who can't plan their lives around their schedule leave. Predictable, flexible scheduling is the cheapest retention tool in retail.

Retail scheduling patterns that work

Demand-based scheduling

Saturday needs 12 people, Tuesday needs 4. Use templates for each day type so you're not rebuilding from scratch every week. Adjust for holidays, sales events, and seasonal peaks.

Split shifts for coverage

Peak hours in retail are mornings and after work (5-7 PM). Split shifts cover both rushes without paying for the quiet afternoon. Schedule part-timers for the peaks, full-timers through the middle.

Multi-location float staff

Retail chains often have staff who can work at multiple stores. Track their availability and preferences per location so you can move people where the demand is without the phone calls.

Student and seasonal scheduling

Retail relies on students and seasonal workers whose availability changes with class schedules and exam periods. Self-service availability updates prevent scheduling conflicts before they happen.
