Intro to the Employee Scheduler

Intro to the Employee Scheduler

Build the week privately, publish it when it's right, and handle time off and availability in the same place your team already works.

September 28, 2026

Keep your team scheduled—and your wash covered. Build schedules, handle time off, and keep every shift covered.

What you'll need

  • Available on the Bundle plan, or on a Custom plan that includes Employee Scheduler.
  • Admins and Super Admins build and publish the week. Everyone can see the published week, view their own shifts, and send in requests.
  • The Employee Scheduler is switched on per location, so one site can have it while another doesn't.

What is the Employee Scheduler?

It's the whiteboard in the break room, except nobody has to be standing in front of it. You build the week shift by shift, and nothing reaches your team until you publish it. Goodbye to the group text that starts with "who's opening Saturday".

Each location has its own schedule and its own shift types—opening, closing, and whatever else your wash runs.

What you can do with the Employee Scheduler

  • Build a week privately, then publish it when the coverage is right.
  • Copy last week forward instead of rebuilding the same pattern every Monday.
  • Set shift types once so start and end times fill themselves in, breaks included.
  • Collect time-off and availability requests and approve or deny them with a reason.
  • Put a staff meeting or a vacuum-lot deep clean on the calendar and invite the crew.

How the Employee Scheduler works

Build the week → Publish → Your team sees it → Requests come in → Approve or deny

The calendar holds four kinds of entry.

EntryWhat it is
ShiftSomebody working a window at a location, always on a shift type
Time OffA dated request to be off, approved or denied by an Admin
AvailabilityRecurring hours somebody is not free to work, which block shifts
Location EventA site-wide entry like a staff meeting or a deep-clean day

Common questions

Does it track hours worked or run payroll?

No. It totals the hours you've scheduled so you can see the week at a glance. There's no punch in or punch out.

Who can do this?

Everyone can see their own schedule and file requests. The building and approving menu items aren't shown to Team Members.

Does this affect my other locations?

No. Schedules are per location, so each site is built on its own. The week start day is the exception and applies company-wide.
