One of the countless battles shop owners face is scheduling. The variety of moving parts and considerations can make it feel impossible to predict what things are going to be like next week, let alone next quarter. That's why Ratchet+Wrench has been working on the Shop Shift Scheduler, which allows owners and managers to create a straightforward, easy-to-digest estimate of staffing schedules and labor costs for shops operating on the same schedule throughout the year. The tool is best used annually to evaluate how your scheduling aligns with your shop's business needs, and it's free to use.
