The real cost of manual scheduling
-
Spreadsheet chaos
Colour-coded Excel files emailed around. Three versions of the truth. Nobody knows which one is current.
-
Weekend overtime for managers
Hours every Sunday building next week's roster. Chasing availability by text. Checking seniority by hand.
-
No availability tracking
Staff text their availability to whoever picks up the phone. Half the time it never makes it onto the schedule.
-
Shift swap confusion
Staff swap shifts over text. Nobody checks qualifications or rest periods. The manager finds out after the fact.
