✔ | Merge multiple records of the same Employee across Locations into one Employee record if that person works at multiple restaurants |
✔ | Exclude Jobs from the schedule that will not be scheduled |
✔ | Color code the remaining jobs for easy classification |
✔ | Create a Schedule of Shifts without any Employees assigned |
✔ | Save as a Scheduler Template once complete for easy Scheduling in the future |
✔ | Give Employees App Access once you are ready for them to gain access to the R365 Red App |
