Restaurant scheduling done right. Priced like it should be.

EZ-Schedules does what the big-name schedulers do — the week's schedule, time-off, swaps, live labor cost — without the big-name bill. Built for independents, from one location to a handful.

The menu

Primi — the essentials

The schedule builder

Position-colored shifts, copy across days, publish 1–4 weeks at once. “Until close” shifts end when you do.

Live labor cost

The week's cost updates with every shift you place, and overtime is flagged before you publish — not after payroll.

Multi-location

Every location gets its own hours, roster, and schedule. Staff belong to the locations they actually work. Switch in one click.

Contorni — on the side

Availability & time-off

Staff submit from their phones; approved time off blocks the grid — even half-days for lunch or dinner service.

Swaps & open shifts

The team claims and trades; you approve. No more group-chat roulette.

Text reminders

Schedules land by email the moment you publish; texts go out the evening before every shift.

Timesheets

Actual hours next to scheduled hours, so payroll is honest.

Straight talk

Why so affordable?

Because scheduling software got expensive for no good reason. The big platforms charge per location, per module, per “premium feature” — and somebody has to pay for their sales team. That somebody is usually an independent restaurant.

We built EZ-Schedules lean, alongside operators with over 30 years on the floor. One fair price. Everything included. That's the whole trick.

None of our features are exotic — schedules, time-off, swaps, labor costs. They just work, they're easy for a 19-year-old server and a 30-year veteran alike, and they don't cost a Saturday night's revenue.

Getting started

Up and running in an afternoon

  1. Add your team

    Enter staff by name — no accounts needed to start. Set positions, wages, and the locations they work.

  2. Build & publish the week

    Shift times default to your opening hours, labor cost totals as you go. Publish and everyone gets it by email or text.

  3. Run service

    Time-off blocks the grid, open shifts get claimed, swaps wait for your approval, reminders send themselves.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

$49 per location per month, everything included — no per-user fees, no modules, no surcharges. See the pricing page for the full list of what's in the box.

We run more than one location — does that work?

Yes, and without a per-location surcharge. Each location has its own operating hours, schedules, and roster; managers switch between them in one click.

Do my staff need to install an app?

No. EZ-Schedules works in any browser, on any phone. Staff can sign in with email or a text-message code.

Can I schedule staff who don't have an account yet?

Yes — add staff by name and schedule them immediately. When you're ready, send an invite and their account attaches to the same schedule history.

What happens on the demo?

Twenty minutes, one schedule like yours: building a week, a time-off request, filling an open shift, and reading the labor summary. Then we tell you the price. No follow-up sequence, no pressure.
