SynergySuite Labor & Scheduling is cloud-based software for coordinating restaurant staff schedules across locations. Managers can create schedules for each restaurant based on forecasted sales, check availability, send schedules and reminders, approve shift swaps, and manage absences and time-off requests. Employees use the Cover app to see their schedules, hours, and coworkers, update availability, request time off, and swap shifts. The system warns managers about potential overtime and possible scheduling breaches of federal, state, and local labor laws. A dedicated clocking app can restrict clock-ins by IP or Wi-Fi and handle break clock-ins or automatic break deductions. Managers can validate and adjust clocking data before sending it to an existing payroll system through integrations. SynergySuite says it connects with POS, accounting, payroll, supplier, and HR systems. Pricing is quoted per location per month and varies by location count and modules. A subscription requires at least three modules, including reporting; the company says customers typically have 20 or more locations to get the most benefit. The monthly subscription includes unlimited user and employee licenses, mobile app licenses, and device use at no additional cost.
