TimeForge v2.4.5
|
 |
Making a great work schedule week after week is often a painful managerial chore for businesses of all sizes. However, the increased store profits, lower turnover, and improved employee morale make employee scheduling software a worthwhile investment. |
Many operators in the restaurant, retail, and hospitality industries create labor schedules by hand using pen-and-paper methods that can consume up to seven hours a week in managerial time - an expense of more than $12,000 per year in manager time building and managing the labor schedule! Operators using spreadsheets still spend at least two hours a week scheduling labor.
Well-chosen software solutions can help operators control labor and increase profits, without incurring great expense. For example, TimeForge, a web-based labor scheduling product tightly controls employee labor costs and reduces turnover by providing a simple-to-use solution for scheduling employees. The TimeForge software program, available at http://www.TimeForge.com, ensures that managers spend more time 'on the floor' and less time in the back office scheduling employees.
The most recent version, released on May 27, 2008 includes a number of improvements to the software and continues to build on TimeForge's success as a quick, simple, and affordable scheduling solution for businesses of all sizes. According to Michael, the proprietor of Tiara Cafe in California, 'The TimeForge scheduling system has not only increased our efficiency tremendously, decreased the errors in what is normally an error prone environment, it has also saved us ten times what it costs us each month.'
TimeForge turns employee scheduling into an automated task that can be performed in a few minutes every week - improving store profits by thousands of dollars every year for the store. Some advantages of the new TimeForge include:
• TimeForge now includes the ability to track employee tips, which can be entered when an employee clocks out, or later by management!
• Schedules and templates can be organized into departments (similar to folders) to easily differentiate between 'Front of House' and 'Back of House' schedules.
• New attendance reports are available for supervisors and managers.
• Managers can easily see why an employee cannot be scheduled - regardless if the employee is already scheduled at another location or in a conflicting shift, or if the employee is unavailable.
• Locations / stores / units can be organized into a Corporate Hierarchy so that managers can monitor scheduling practices for groups of locations.
• Many other improvements!
Independent and chain operators alike can benefit from the many time saving and profit improving features of labor scheduling systems such as TimeForge. Get back on the floor today!
