Scheduling & Labor

Schedules that watch your labor line

Build and publish schedules, let staff swap shifts with manager approval, and run a time clock — all measured against labor % vs. live sales. Overtime is flagged before it's worked, and the forecast knows about tonight's private event.

What's inside

Everything the manager needs to protect the labor line

Draft → publish

Build the week, then publish. Staff are notified in the app, and the schedule is the same source of truth the time clock measures against.

Shift-swap marketplace

Staff post and claim open shifts; managers approve. Overtime and availability conflicts are checked before a swap goes through.

Time-off & availability

Requests, approvals and recurring availability live next to the schedule, so you never publish a shift someone can't work.

Overtime, before it's worked

Mise flags a shift that would push someone into overtime as you build it — not on the payroll report a week later.

Labor % vs. live sales

The dashboard shows labor as a percentage of today's actual sales, updating as checks close — the number you actually manage to.

Event-aware forecast

A booked 120-guest private event shows up as demand in the forecast, so you staff for it before it's ever drafted into shifts.

Compliance, built in

Breaks and tips handled right

The time clock enforces break rules and computes tip pools automatically, so compliance isn't a spreadsheet you reconcile after the fact.

  • Break enforcement and attestation at clock-out
  • Tip-pool calculation by role, hours or points
  • Punches feed labor cost straight into the live P&L

One source of truth

Labor is a line on the live P&L, not a separate app

Every punch flows into prime cost the moment it happens, so labor % and the P&L are always current — no export from a standalone scheduler, no re-keying into accounting.
