Spend Less Time Scheduling Labor - More Time Managing Your Business, Managers Save Hours Making Employee Schedules and Reduce Turnover

Lubbock, TX (PRWEB) October 22, 2007 -- Labor is one of two large cost centers in the food-service business, and can account for more than thirty-percent (30%) of the expenses in a well managed restaurant or club. Managers spend hours every week deciding how to schedule their labor force - time that could be spent with guests or managing other aspects of the business. Poorly scheduling the work force can result in severe negative consequences for the business including higher turnover, reduction in morale, and increased payroll expenses. In development for almost three years, the latest version of http://www.TimeForge.com provides a quick, simple, and affordable solution for managers to schedule their work force.

According to a recent study performed by TimeForge.com, managers in the restaurant, bar, and club industry spend between one and eight hours every week building their labor schedule. Scheduling employees is a complicated and thankless task, requiring that managers juggle availability sheets, request and manager log books, and sticky notes in addition to memorizing overtime regulations, labor laws, and the staffing needs of the business. With an average salary and benefits package of more than $62,500 per year, managers can cost a restaurant more than $1,000 a month to maintain a basic labor schedule. The latest version of TimeForge.com turns employee scheduling into an automated task that can be performed in a few minutes - saving thousands of dollars every year for the store.

http://www.TimeForge.com is an easy-to-use web application that can be accessed remotely by both employees and managers. The software currently assists more than 600 businesses schedule their employees, including many hospitality and food-service establishments such as restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs. However, other companies such as retail centers, health clinics, movie theaters, and realty companies are taking advantage of the easy-to-use and affordable scheduling software. "... I know that it is geared towards restaurants, but we are a real estate company and we love it because it is inexpensive and it is so easy to use." said Nicole, Managing Administrator for Exit Premier Realty.

The labor scheduling software comes with a number of features designed to make managing a schedule simple:

- Managers can display schedules in list, grid, or graphical formats.

- AutoScheduler system builds a complete schedule in seconds.

- Requests and employee availability are stored indefinitely, and automatically appear on the schedule.

- Employees are automatically notified by email and text messages of any posted schedule changes.

- Managers can compare theoretical schedules and actual payroll costs to calculate performance.

- Employees can swap shifts with other qualified employees.

- And much more!

Other users, such as Sherry, a manager at Music Man's BBQ, enjoy easy employee scheduling with the TimeForge.com AutoScheduler system. According to Sherry, "It's cut my time to make a schedule in half!" The AutoScheduler system considers millions of employee combinations based on factors such as availability, labor costs, employee strengths, and overtime regulations. The best schedule available for the business is calculated in seconds, and management can modify it where necessary.

If you manage employees, online labor scheduling software is a worthwhile investment. Properly managing labor saves time and money for the business, and improves the job satisfaction of both employees and managers.
