Scheduling for small teams

Stop texting screenshots of the schedule.

Thyme is scheduling software for small businesses. Build the week, hit publish, and everyone gets their shifts automatically.

If it runs on shifts, Thyme’s for it.

Making the schedule was never the hard part.

Getting it into eight people’s hands, and keeping it right after Wednesday’s swap: that’s where the week goes. Every fix below breaks at the same step.

Group texts

Buried by Wednesday, and nobody scrolls back.

Forty messages about the walk-in cooler, and the new hire was never in the thread.

Spreadsheets

Your team gets screenshots, not the schedule.

You fix Thursday on your laptop. Their camera roll still says the old thing.

The printout

Two people crossed out the same shift.

The swap goes on in pen, and anyone off that day never sees it.

HR & POS apps

Half your team doesn’t want another login.

Setup took an evening, the passwords lasted a week, and you still text the schedule.

Thyme replaces all four. One schedule, built and published in one place. Change it, and every person’s copy updates.

Three steps, once a week.

Copy, fill, publish. No setup to sit through first.

The week menu open on the schedule board, with “Copy last week” highlighted.
Step 1

Start from last week.

Copy last week and change what’s different.

The publish dialog: “Publish Mar 2 – 8?”, the team’s avatars, and a Publish & notify button.
Step 2

Publish it.

One button sends each person their own shifts.

Step 3

The team just has it.

A private link that opens on any phone. No app, no password.

What this looks like where you work.

Cafés, restaurants, salons, gyms, cleaning crews, boutiques: the week is built by one person and lived by everyone else.

Restaurants

Publish once, everyone gets theirs.

Hit publish and every server, cook, and host gets their own shifts. No accounts to set up.

Coffee cups, a croissant, a pour-over, and a milk jug.
Cafés

Move a shift after publishing.

Opener oversleeps? Move the shift from your phone. Whoever’s covering knows in seconds.

Scissors, a shaving brush, a comb, and a spray bottle.
Salons & barbershops

Every chair on one board.

Build it chair by chair. Each stylist opens their own week, not the calendar by the register.

A kettlebell, a jump rope, and a rolled towel.
Gyms & studios

No app to install.

Your 6am instructor taps a link, sees their two classes, done.

A spray bottle, sponges, gloves, a duster, and two metal pails.
Cleaning crews

One link, wherever they start.

No break room to pin a printout. The crew checks one link from the van.

A folded sweater, a wooden hanger, a paper bag, and a price tag.
Boutique shops

Copy last week, then adjust.

Part-timers, students, one key-holder. Copy last week, adjust, and everyone knows their Saturday by Friday.

Scenarios, not testimonials.

Thyme does one thing.

It builds your weekly schedule and puts it on your team’s phones. That’s the whole job. Keep what you use for hours and pay.
