Built around your team

Hire. Onboard. Train. Schedule.

Four connected tools for shift-based teams, from the first hire to the next schedule.

Scheduling

Plan a better week

  • Role and shift-template setup for weekly planning
  • Employee availability and time-off inputs
  • Create a draft schedule around your team’s availability
  • Edit and review the week before publishing
  • Send email updates when notifications are set up
  • Give staff a private calendar for their own shifts

See the people and the details behind every shift.

Onboarding

Give every new hire a clear start

Bring new hire details, team tasks, and progress together so everyone knows what needs to happen before the first shift.

  • Worker profile setup for role, contact, and experience context
  • Team-specific onboarding tasks and checklists
  • Manager visibility into onboarding progress per worker
  • Move new hires into their first-day checklist
  • Details entered once and reused for later shifts

Help new team members get ready for their first shift.

Training

See who is ready

Give each role clear steps and track progress as your team learns. Managers can see readiness when they plan the week.

  • Role-based training steps for shift-based teams
  • Manager-visible progress by worker and by role
  • Readiness context that can inform scheduling decisions
  • Shared worker profile context across onboarding and shifts
  • Clear task tracking for everyday training

Put training progress to work when you plan the schedule.

Hiring

Find the right people for the roles you need

Keep candidates and open roles organized, then carry the right person forward into onboarding.

  • Team and role context for hiring
  • Candidate profile information tied to real service roles
  • Pipeline visibility for managers
  • Carry candidate details into onboarding
  • Role and experience details

Keep the momentum going after a candidate says yes.

Shared across your team

The details that connect your team

Team details

Keep each person’s roles, availability, onboarding progress, and training steps together so managers can plan with the full picture.

See onboarding →

Availability and time off

Recurring availability and time-off inputs feed the draft before a manager starts moving shifts around, so coverage gaps show up during planning instead of on the day.

Availability guide →

Roles and shift templates

Set up the roles and shift patterns your team uses, then reuse that structure every week instead of rebuilding a grid.

See scheduling →

Manager review before publishing

Start with a draft, make changes, and give the week a final check before the schedule goes out.

See scheduling →

Schedule delivery

When email updates are set up, let team members know the schedule is ready. Each person can also see their shifts in a private calendar.

See scheduling →

Team workspace

Keep your team, schedules, and training progress in one place so the details are there when you need them.

Questions

FAQs

What can I do with CrewCentral?

CrewCentral brings scheduling, onboarding, training, and hiring into one team workspace. Managers can plan shifts around roles and availability, see new hire and training progress, and keep hiring tied to the roles they need to fill.

Can I try scheduling without signing up?

Yes. The free schedule maker works in your browser with no account or email. Build an editable week for a restaurant, cafe, or bar, then print, export, or share it.

How is CrewCentral different from a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet shows the shifts. CrewCentral also brings roles, shift templates, availability, onboarding progress, and training readiness into the team workspace so managers have more context when they plan.

How do hiring, onboarding, and training work together?

Candidate details can carry into onboarding, and onboarding and training progress sit with the worker profile. That gives managers a clearer view of who is ready when they build the schedule.

Does CrewCentral handle payroll or labor law compliance?

CrewCentral focuses on scheduling, onboarding, training, and hiring. It does not process payroll or interpret local labor rules for you.

How do I get access to the full team workspace?

Choose Get started for free to create an account for your team, or contact us if you would like help setting up. Hiring, onboarding, training, and scheduling share the same team workspace.
