Case Study

Industry

Restaurant Staff Management / Workforce Scheduling

Product

A restaurant management platform with a scheduling module that helps managers create weekly shift plans for their team, respecting labor law and individual worker needs.

The Challenge

Traditional scheduling tools use rigid boolean attributes: “available Monday 9-5”, “max 20h/week”. But real scheduling constraints are nuanced — “Eva picks up kids Wednesday at 3pm”, “Tom can't work mornings on lecture days”. Managers kept these details in their heads. And when a day had special circumstances — a private event, a big reservation — there was no way to feed that context into the schedule.

Pain Points

✖Managers spent 2+ hours per week manually building schedules

✖Worker constraints lived in managers' heads, not in the system

✖New managers had no way to learn existing team preferences

✖Day-specific context (events, expected rush) couldn't influence staffing

✖Rigid scheduling attributes couldn't capture real-world nuance
