End the Text Chain.
Schedule Like a Business.
7shifts charges $29.99/mo per location and shift swaps still end up in group texts. When I Work runs $4/user/mo with no-show conflicts managed by the manager's phone. Boojee Staff Scheduling configures a real system — shift swaps, time-off requests, manager alerts, compliance — live in 48 hours, from $198.
Every layer of scheduling — configured right the first time.
Six critical components that turn scheduling chaos into a system your whole team actually uses.
We configure 7shifts, Homebase, or When I Work to match your operation — locations, departments, pay periods, and notification rules. No trial-and-error guesswork, no half-built templates.
Every role, position, and pay rate entered correctly. Servers vs. hosts vs. line cooks — each with the right permissions, wage settings, and visibility so managers schedule by role, not by memory.
Staff availability windows configured so the system surfaces conflicts before the schedule is published — not after someone shows up or fails to. Recurring unavailability handled automatically.
Employee-initiated swaps with manager approval gates — so the text chain dies. Staff trade shifts inside the app. Managers get one notification to approve. The schedule stays accurate in real time.
Formal request-and-approval workflow replaces the sticky note on the manager's desk. Every request logged, timestamped, and reflected in the schedule the moment it's approved.
Overtime warnings, missed clock-ins, open shift alerts, and low-coverage flags delivered to your phone the moment they happen — not when it's too late to fix them.
From intake to live schedule — in four steps.
A tight, repeatable process that gets your team on a real scheduling system within 48 hours.
You complete a 5-minute intake form — team size, roles, platform preference, current pain points. No calls required unless you want one.
We build out your platform from scratch — roles, positions, availability rules, shift swaps, time-off workflow, and alert thresholds. All configured to your operation.
We send your staff an invite link with a walkthrough. Employees set up their own profiles, availability, and notification preferences — managers don't babysit onboarding.
Your first real schedule publishes. Staff get notified. Swaps happen in the app. Managers have one dashboard instead of twelve text threads.
One-time setup. No subscriptions.

How much is scheduling chaos actually costing you?
Managers spending hours on text chains and last-minute coverage calls is a real payroll cost. Run the numbers.
Common questions.
What scheduling platforms do you support?
We set up 7shifts, Homebase, and When I Work — the three platforms purpose-built for hourly teams. We'll recommend the best fit based on your team size, industry, and budget during intake. All three have free tiers and affordable paid plans. We configure the platform; you pay the platform directly (usually $0–$108/mo for most small teams).
Do my employees need to download an app?
Yes — and that's the point. The employee app is how staff check their schedule, claim open shifts, request swaps, and submit time-off. It takes about 2 minutes to set up. We send your team an invite link with a plain-English guide. Most staff are live within the hour.
What if I already have a scheduling platform but it's a mess?
That's our most common situation. If you already have an account on a supported platform, we'll clean up the existing setup — purge old roles, fix position configs, rebuild your availability rules, and reconfigure alerts. No need to start over or migrate your history.
What does "integration" mean in the Advanced package?
Advanced includes connecting your scheduling platform to your POS system (Toast, Square, Clover, etc.) and/or payroll software (Gusto, ADP, Paychex). This pulls in sales forecasts for smarter scheduling and pushes approved hours directly to payroll — eliminating manual hour entry and the errors that come with it.
What happens after the 48-hour setup?
Basic Setup clients receive a handoff document and a short video walkthrough. Advanced clients also get a live 30-minute manager training call and a 30-day check-in to tune any settings that need adjusting after real-world use. Both packages include email support for two weeks post-delivery.
