How an inflatable play venue in Cookstown, Northern Ireland, handed its weekly rota to SynqOS Staff Manager — while keeping its own booking system.
Inflatable World — an inflatable play venue in Cookstown, Northern Ireland
Staff Manager
4 weeks
Children on the inflatables must be supervised at all times, so every shift needs three to four staff on the inflatables, two to four in the café, a floor supervisor, a manager, two receptionists and at least one cleaner. Matching each person's skills and availability to every shift, and covering birthday parties, took more than 5 hours a week by hand.
Once management completed the Staff Manager sections — roles, annual leave, sick leave, part-time status and pay — the system calculates the rota automatically from those details and the venue's own settings, and emails it to staff when it is completed. Edited rotas are sent to the relevant people. Inflatable World keeps using its own booking system, with no change to how guests book.
Down from more than 5 hours a week.
