TimeForge.com version 1.4 Press Release

Lubbock, TX , May 21, 2007 , TimeForge.com, a scheduling application designed for the food-service industry, was released in February and has been quickly adopted by the hospitality industry. For years, electronic scheduling has been a growing alternative to “pen-and-paper” scheduling, but most electronic systems have been overly complex and cumbersome to use. Employee scheduling is now simple! The TimeForge.com software is easy to use, quick to implement, and provides an effective combination of quality software and extensive features, with monthly programs starting under $10 / month.

Along with the basic ability to quickly and easily create schedules that work for your business (including multi-week or monthly schedules), TimeForge.com includes AutoScheduler™, an automatic scheduling tool developed with leading industry experts. The AutoScheduler™ program simplifies the creation of schedules by accurately balancing employee requests, payroll costs, and staffing requirements. With the click of a mouse, the AutoScheduler™ can create an entire 7-day schedule for your business in under 30 seconds! Blazing fast scheduling combined with industry-leading reports puts you and your managers back where you belong …. on the floor with your customers.

TimeForge.com will automatically alert employees of newly posted schedules and schedule changes on a continual basis. Employees can be notified through the TimeForge.com website, email, or even daily text message alerts. Multiple notifications provide a solid scheduling system that eliminates any confusion about staff responsibilities. TimeForge.com also reduces the amount of time that managers spend on the phone with employees. Employees can log in to their individual TimeForge.com accounts and enter a work request (time off, school schedules, work preferences, etc…); the manager can then approve or deny employee requests at their convenience.

TimeForge.com can save your business time and money, and can reduce confusion and tension between the management and staff.

Report Bug

Apparently, even the best scheduling tool for the hospitality industry isn’t safe from having software bugs. We try and keep our software bugs to a minimum, but sometimes it just is not possible …

We had a massive update this weekend, adding more than two dozen new features to TimeForge.com. However, our first major bug appears to have been discovered in the reporting section. If you are using Internet Explorer, I apologize, but your reports probably will not be working until some time later today.

We’re trying to get it fixed …. and will notify you as soon as it is fixed.

Update: Problem fixed. Reports now work in every browser we could get our hands on including Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, and Safari.

How long does it take to make an employee schedule? It should take less than 5 minutes! Did you know that labor costs could be as much as 30% of your expenses? TimeForge can help streamline and minimize labor costs through effective employee scheduling at your restaurant, bar, or club.
