For your team
A short guide for employees. Share this with your crew so they can hit the ground running.
1. Accept your invite
You'll get an email invitation from your manager. Click the link to join — if you're new, you'll pick a password to create your account; if you already have one, you'll just sign in. That's it, you're on the team.
2. Set your availability
Open Set availabilityand fill in the hours you can work each day. This is a guide for your manager — when they schedule you outside those hours, Daypart shows them a heads-up. Leaving a day blank just means “no preference.”
3. See your shifts
My Shiftslists everything you're scheduled for — date, time, location, and role. When your manager publishes or changes the week, you'll get a notification.
4. Claim open shifts
Open Shiftsare published shifts nobody's assigned to yet. See one you can cover? Tap Claimand it's yours — it moves straight into My Shifts, no approval needed. (If a teammate grabs it a second before you, you'll just see it's no longer open.)
5. Swap a shift or request time off
Can't make a shift? From the shift, ask anyone to cover it or send a swap to a specific teammate. Need a day off? Use Request time off with the dates. Your manager approves swaps and time off — see Swaps & time off for the details.
6. Stay in the loop
The notification bell keeps a running feed of schedule changes, swap and time-off decisions, and newly posted open shifts. You can also get emails — tune which ones in Settings → Notification preferences.
