Cafe employee schedule for a small frontline business
A cafe employee schedule for a small frontline business is who covers open, mid, and close. One manager builds that week for a single team and publishes it. The people on the floor open a link. They do not sign in.
Open, mid, and close
Add those shifts once, with the hours they mean. Filling a day is a choice from that list. A day off stays on the day, so the week does not depend on a note in chat.
Copy the cafe week
Next week usually looks like this week. Copy last week and change the days that moved. Keep the draft private until the week is the one the team should follow.
One schedule for the team
Publish one read-only link. A wall PDF can carry a QR code to that link, which still opens the latest week after the next publish.
What a cafe schedule here is not
This is not a till, a time clock, or a payroll file. It is the staff week for one cafe team, up to 50 active employees, at $5 per month for the whole team after a 14-day trial with no card.
