Toast Scheduling connects directly to your Toast POS and Toast Payroll. From the POS, it pulls historical sales data so you can build schedules against forecasted demand instead of guessing, and it captures every clock-in and clock-out so you build schedules with overtime in mind. Because these hours flow into Toast Payroll automatically, it's easy to compare scheduled hours against actual hours worked — and catch labor cost overages before they show up on a payroll run.

Yes, employees can swap shifts themselves via MyToast, our employee app. The platform supports easy shift swapping along with time-off requests, and shift reminders which helps keep team members accountable and keeps schedules accurate without managers having to chase down staff for coverage changes.

Restaurant scheduling software is a tool that helps you build, manage, and communicate staff schedules in one place. Toast Scheduling combines easy scheduling, real-time team messaging, and labor cost controls, syncing employee profiles and timesheets so you can manage your team and control labor costs without manual entry or paper schedules.

Restaurant shift scheduling is the process of assigning staff to work shifts to match demand, since business hours and customer traffic can change week to week. Toast Scheduling makes this easier with tools like sales forecasting to predict busy and slow days, plus Toast IQ to help spot overstaffing and adjust staff coverage based on things like weather and labor costs.
