Everything to schedule your team, on one screen

BarPlanner follows how a café really plans: find out who can work, choose, then publish. Each step is shown below with a real screen from the app.

Your team tells you when they can work

Staff mark each shift they can do. Anyone who’s free at the same time every week sets a standing rule.

  • Standing rules like “every Friday 18:00–01:00”
  • An exception always overrides the rule
  • They can change it until you publish

A schedule that matches your opening hours

Create time blocks with the number of people you need per position. Anyone starting later or leaving earlier gets their own hours inside the shift.

  • Shifts past midnight, including the night the clocks change
  • Short-staffing warnings, hour by hour
  • Copy last week in one click

You decide when the schedule is final

You see exactly what changes and who gets notified before you publish. Publish one day, a week or a whole period.

  • Drafts stay invisible to your team
  • A published shift stays valid until you publish a change
  • Everyone affected gets a notification

Swaps and cancellations, with your approval

An employee asks a colleague to take over. The colleague accepts first, then you approve or decline.

  • The schedule stays as it is until you decide
  • Cancellations go through a request with a reason
  • Reopen a freed-up spot in one click

Does someone also work somewhere else?

Students and flexi-jobbers often work in more than one place. BarPlanner shows who is already booked elsewhere at that time, without saying where.

  • One login for every venue someone works at
  • Never booked twice at the same time
  • Each venue sees only its own data
