Scheduling members in advance
Easily schedule members onto a bar shift in advance, so you have a base level of staffing straight away.
How does it work?
When creating or editing a bar shift you can add members directly:
- Search by name or email address
- Select the right member
- Add them to the bar shift
The selected members are scheduled immediately.
When do you use this?
- When you already know who is going to work a bar shift
- For regular volunteers or staff
- To guarantee a minimum level of staffing in advance
What do members see?
- The bar shift appears immediately in their overview of upcoming shifts
- They see the date, time and location of their scheduled shift
Combining with open sign-up
You can combine pre-scheduled members with open places:
- Schedule a number of people in advance
- Leave the remaining places open for members to claim
Why this is useful
- You have immediate control over the planning
- Less risk of empty shifts
- Ideal for regular or experienced helpers
Tip
Use advance scheduling for important moments and fill the rest with open sign-ups 👍
