Alex SchedulesEvery shift, covered

Run your team, not your paperwork

Run your whole schedule from one board.

Restaurants, retail, shops, clinics, schools — anywhere with staff across locations or departments. One site or a dozen: build the week, see coverage at a glance, and publish with one tap — it texts and emails every person their own shifts. Staff request time off, swap, and grab open shifts from their phone. AI-backed, with custom reports and services built around your shop.

01One board

One board, every location

Staff show up under the store they're actually working — not their home store. Move anyone anywhere without switching screens.

02Coverage

Coverage you can see

Set a minimum per store per day. Cells go green when you hit it, red when you're short, yellow when you're over. It updates as you build.

03Time-off

Time-off that checks itself

Before you approve a day off, it tells you who drops below minimum, whether it pulls your only lead, and if three other people already asked for that week.

01 / Everything the shift takes

Every part of the schedule, handled.

01 / Scheduling

Build the week by who's free. Publish once.

The board knows availability, coverage and your rules — so the schedule is right before anyone sees it.

01 · Scheduling3 features

01.01

Build it by who's free

Pick from who's actually available — free staff first, everyone else with the reason they can't. Drag anyone onto any day; it swaps instead of deleting.

01.02

Personalized publish

One tap publishes the week and texts + emails each person their own shifts — with their days highlighted — not a group blast.

01.03

Open shifts & coverage

Post a shift you can't cover and let staff grab it from their phone. Cells go green when you hit your minimum, red when you're short.

02 / Requests & your team

Your team runs it from their phone.

Staff ask, swap and update from their phone. You approve with the impact already on screen.

02 · Requests & your team2 features

02.01

Time-off, swaps & availability

Staff request off, pick up cover, or change availability from their phone — all as requests you approve in a tap, with coverage impact shown.

02.02AI

Text-in assistant

Staff just text the restaurant's number — "can I get Friday off?", "how do I make the matcha?" — and the AI answers from your playbook or files it as a request. English or Spanish.

02 / AI-backed

An AI company behind your schedule.

★ Built for your shop

Alex Schedules isn’t off-the-shelf software you bend to fit. We’re an AI-backed team — we build the reports you actually want and tailor the app to how your business runs. Tell us what you need to see; we make it.

Custom reportsOn request

The numbers you ask for

Labor by location or by person, attendance, overtime, sales-to-labor — we build the exact report you want, by store and by employee, and keep it running every week.

Tailored to youYour rules

Customize your service

Your positions, your departments, your alerts, your playbook in the text-in assistant. We shape the app around your operation instead of making you adapt to ours.

AI assistant24 / 7

Answers & intake, by text

Staff text in — in English or Spanish — and the AI answers from your playbook, asks when it’s not sure, and turns requests into approvals waiting for you. No app required.

03 / Staff onboarding

Your team gets in without you managing passwords.

Add someone by email or phone number — no email required, which matters for hourly staff. They set their own password once and land on their own page. Nothing for you to hand out, nothing to reset.

Step 11 / 3

You add them

Add a staffer with their phone or email while building the schedule.

Step 22 / 3

They join

They open your join link, enter that same phone or email, and pick a password. They’re matched to their record automatically.

Step 33 / 3

They’re self-serve

They see their shifts, request time off, and update availability — all as requests you approve.

04 / Pricing

Flat, per location. Growth is free.

★ No per-user fees

One flat price per location — add as many staff as you want and the price doesn’t move. Everyone else charges more every time you hire. We don’t. Billing scales only when you open a new store.
