Employee scheduling software for Toy stores

Scheduling for toy stores: Christmas peak to anticipate.

What makes scheduling hard here

  • Christmas peak representing 40% of annual revenue in 6 weeks.
  • Seasonal hires to onboard fast into the schedule.
  • Toy demos and kids events to plan on Saturdays.

How Squadra solves them

Squadra builds the schedule, sends it to your team, and counts the hours if you want it to. Here is what actually changes:

Drag and drop scheduling

Drag shifts on the weekly grid, duplicate last week, adjust in 2 clicks. No spreadsheet to update.

The schedule in your team's pocket

One button and you send it on WhatsApp or by text. Everyone opens the link, picks their first name once, and sees their hours: no account, no app, even without an email address, and even with no signal.

Time tracking, if you want it

It switches on or off in one click. Switched on, everyone clocks in from their phone or on a tablet at the counter, and hours add themselves up. Switched off, it disappears from the menu.

Hours that add themselves up

The counter adds up the clocked hours, week by week and person by person. You read them in Time tracking, with nothing to recompute by hand.

What a typical week looks like

Store 10am-7pm, 4 to 8 most of the year, 12 to 20 through the holidays.

How much does it cost

Free up to 10 employees. Above that, $29 a month for the whole company, with no per employee and no per location fee. No credit card required to start.
