Set your shifts and their hours

Name your shifts, set start and end times and add or remove a shift, so the schedule is built around your real day.

A shift template is a named block of time, such as Lunch 11:00 to 16:00. Every schedule is built from your templates.

Steps

In setup, open the Your days and shifts step (on the web, Days and shifts).
Tap the name of a shift to rename it. On the phone, names can be up to 20 characters.
Set the start and end times. On the phone, tap Start or End, choose the time and tap Done. On the web, use the Starts and Ends time fields.
To add a shift, tap Add a shift. In the phone app you can have up to 4 shifts.
To remove a shift, tap the bin icon next to its name (on the web, the Remove shift button, an X). At least one shift must stay.
Tap Continue.

Shifts are pre-filled from the kind of business you picked, for example Lunch and Dinner for a restaurant.
On the phone, the app shows the length of each shift under its times.
Each shift gets its own row in the people-per-shift grid next. See People per shift.
A night shift can end the next day. See Night shifts.
Shifts also drive the weekly submission categories, because a quota can be set for a single shift.
