Frequently asked questions
What is restaurant scheduling software?
Restaurant scheduling software is an online application that automates schedule creation and sharing, team communication and hours tracking. It replaces the spreadsheet by building in the rules of the sector: services, split shifts, extras and your collective agreement. With Skello, you create your schedules in a few clicks and share them on your teams' mobile app.
Can you build a restaurant schedule in Excel?
You can, but a spreadsheet quickly shows its limits: no compliance alerts, no tracking of hours actually worked, and a lot of re-entry. Skello creates your schedules automatically, applies your collective agreement and feeds hours through to payroll. You can try schedule creation free for 14 days, with no commitment and cancellable at any time.
Is there a restaurant schedule template to download?
Yes, you can download our restaurant schedule template to get started quickly. To go further, Skello generates your schedules automatically based on your services, your headcount and your collective agreement, so you never start from a blank sheet again. 14-day free trial, no commitment.
Can you create a schedule for free with Skello?
Yes. You can build your first schedule and try every Skello feature with a 14-day free trial, with no commitment and cancellable at any time. You can also request a personalized demo, tailored to your business and your collective agreement.
What is the best scheduling software for a restaurant?
The right software natively builds in the rules of the HCR collective agreement, a mobile app for teams, a time clock and an export to your payroll software. Skello brings all of that together: it is the solution used today by more than 10,000 businesses in the sector, rated 4.5/5 across more than 2,000 reviews.
Does Skello handle extras, seasonal staff and different contract types?
Yes. Extras on casual fixed-term contracts, seasonal staff, part-timers, multiple contracts… Skello centralizes contracts and schedules each profile according to its own rules. For groups and franchises, the same employee can work across several sites without double-booking, and your headcount adapts to seasonal peaks.
Do Skello schedules comply with the HCR collective agreement?
Yes. Legal alerts build in the rules of the HCR collective agreement (IDCC 1979) and the labor code: maximum working hours, rest periods, and Sunday, night and public-holiday premiums. Electronic signature of timesheets completes your compliance. Skello also covers fast food (IDCC 1501) and other agreements in the sector.
