How often have you looked in the server station around 5pm and seen three or four of your staff chatting and waiting around for the rush to begin? We’d wager too often.
Smart scheduling can relieve that pain. Too many of us schedule servers at the top of the hour. If you have six servers scheduled, why not have their shift starts staggered?

As you write the schedule you can access the sales data you need to make intelligent choices about schedule times.
