Introduction

Whether for five or 500 employees, understanding and implementing good and communication processes will invariably make life easier. Make yourself a good strong coffee and take 15 minutes to read through this guide.

The guide is split into 3 sections:

1. Getting the right policies and procedures in place – this only needs to be done once!
2. Setting up – setting up and maintaining the information you need to use while .
3. Schedule building – a section to remember as your build each schedule.

The advantages of a better schedule process include:

• Saving you time.
• Saving your employees time.
• Reducing the chance of miscommunication.
• Maximising flexibility while using the minimum amount of effort.
• A reduction in labour costs.

A note from the author: Aulay Macaulay – Ento Founder

Through my involvement with the development and support of Ento, I have seen many schedules (hundreds in fact). They have included all shapes, sizes, colors and layouts.
The only real consistency I have found has been the frustration felt by the managers who write the schedules. Through this guide I hope to show an easier, faster and more consistent way to schedule employee , tailored to the Australian hospitality industry. This will take away the dread, ‘when that time of the week’ comes around again.

Where to now?
