Dual-Engine Mathematical Solvers

Google OR-Tools CP-SAT multi-constraint solver with a pure Python CSP fallback engine guarantees 100% schedule generation availability under any runtime condition with sub-second solve times.

Shift Templates Drawer & Batch Application

Reusable shift blueprints (e.g. Morning Cashier, Lead Bartender) featuring overnight shift auto-detection (+1 day), role base wage inheritance, and 1-click batch provisioning across roster dates.

3 Configurable Overtime Policy Modes

Select between Strict 40h Lock (hard cap preventing overtime assignments), Discouraged OT (weighted penalty function), or Uncapped Demand for seasonal rushes.

Fairness vs. Labor Cost Allocation

Toggle operational policies to equalize employee hours across your roster or minimize total payroll costs based on actual base hourly wage tables.

Multi-Role Qualification & Coverage Requirements

Dynamically matches primary and secondary role qualifications (Food Safety Certified, Keyholder, Lead Bartender) against hourly location RoleRequirement staffing targets.

Deterministic Availability & PTO Exclusion

Honors employee preference types (Preferred, Available, Unavailable) and automatically enforces PTO blackout dates, 1-tap sick callouts, and minimum rest intervals between consecutive shifts.
