How Schedule's Up works
From “what is everyone's availability?” to a published schedule on every phone, in four steps. None of them involve installing anything.
1. Set up the week
Add the shifts your week actually needs (opens, closes, rushes) and how many people each one takes, in which roles. Most teams save the week as a template once and reuse it, so setup drops to a couple of minutes.
2. Send everyone a link
Each employee gets a private link by text or email. There's no app to install and no password to forget. They open the link on their phone and tap each shift: available, preferred, or can't. You watch the responses land in real time while the draft schedule forms underneath them.
3. Draft, with the why
One click and Schedule's Up fills the week from real availability against the coverage you asked for. More importantly, it shows its work. Every conflict is listed in plain language: who'd be double-booked, which shift is understaffed, whose hours are past their cap.
4. Publish it your way
When the draft looks right, publish. Every employee gets their own schedule link by SMS or email, and you can print the week for the back wall or export it as an .ics file for any calendar app. If the week changes later, republish. The links always show the current schedule.
The finished schedule goes out as:
