(Sponsored Post)

If you’re a food franchise owner, you know that some of the biggest challenges your managers face on a daily basis are the ones that revolve around employees.

Not only is it challenging to find reliable help, but once you’ve hired and trained an employee for your franchise business you (or your manager) has to set-up employee schedules. Talk about challenging…

Go ahead; ask your food-service manager-or any food-service manager their feelings about employee scheduling. You’re bound to get an earful. That’s because employee scheduling is a huge source of stress for already stressed-out managers. Take it from one who knows; I was in food-service for years. Nothing made my blood-pressure rise more than scheduling-related issues. Employees were constantly calling in sick. Some of them didn’t even show up. Usually it was because they misread the posted schedule. But, there is a solution.

Employee Scheduling Solution

What if your manager…with only a click of the mouse, could create employee schedules and immediately send them right to the employees? Via email?

Wouldn’t it be great if employees could receive an email letting them know exactly when to work? Doing so would certainly go far in eliminating the “I didn’t know I was supposed to work” errors that are so common in food service. (Your manager can still print schedules for members of your staff that are less technical.)

Well, the technology to do what I’ve just described exists.

The Hello Scheduling Employee Scheduling Solution

Hello Scheduling is a San Francisco-based company that helps food-service mangers focus on increasing revenues. Their employee scheduling solution frees up your managers’ time.

Do you want your manager spending time on employee scheduling or on other tasks…like coming up with ways to increase revenue?

According to Jon Byrum, the founder of Hello Scheduling, “Employee scheduling is a soul-sapping function of any business with shift workers such as restaurants. It’s a real time-suck for today’s food-service franchise managers. But, it doesn’t have to be. With Hello Scheduling, managers can create the employee schedule in one click, communicate changes easily, and employees can access their schedule from the web and mobile.”

That’s right: With Hello Scheduling online employee scheduling software, managers will be able to create and publish employee schedule (s) online.  That opens the door to employees having the ability to check their schedule from any computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

Now, before you say, “not every employee of ours has a computer, tablet or Smartphone,” I’d like you to read the next section.
