Schedule Score helps managers catch costly scheduling issues before they hit payroll or compliance. By scoring schedules against labor demand, availability, and configured rules, it improves schedule quality at the moment it matters most—before posting.

Most scheduling problems aren’t dramatic, they’re incremental.
Individually small. Collectively expensive.
Schedule Score turns those hidden issues into something managers can see, understand, and fix early: when changes are easy and impact is highest.
Schedule Score evaluates schedules using the priorities your organization defines, including:
The result: lower labor waste, fewer violations, and more predictable staffing across every location.

As managers build or edit schedules, Schedule Score:
Managers can adjust, rescore, and post.
Schedule Score creates consistent scheduling standards, without forcing every store to follow the same rules.
That means higher scheduling quality everywhere—even in complex, multi-market operations.
When labor rules and Labor Optimization are enabled, Schedule Score helps teams:
Better schedules upstream lead to better labor performance downstream.
No new tools. No extra steps.
