Use case · Scheduling

Schedule staff across multiple locations from one rota.

Most scheduling apps are built for a single shop and bolt on extra locations as an afterthought — a separate calendar, a separate login, a separate bill for each. GetUp treats every venue as part of one operation, so you plan the whole week across sites in a single pass and move people between them without re-typing a thing.

  • One planner that spans every location — switch sites without switching accounts
  • Move a person from one venue to another in a drag, hours and pay follow them
  • Break, overtime and minor-hour rules enforced as you build, per local rules

The problem

What this fixes

Running more than one site turns a simple rota into a coordination problem. Here's what changes.

Without GetUp

Each location keeps its own spreadsheet. You rebuild the same shift pattern five times and reconcile clashes by text message.

With GetUp

One rota covers every site. Copy last week, adjust the exceptions, publish all locations at once.

Without GetUp

A floater who covers three venues exists in three different tools. Nobody can see they're already booked Saturday.

With GetUp

Staff belong to the company, not a single site. Assign them anywhere; double-bookings are flagged before you publish.

Without GetUp

Per-employee pricing means every new hire and every extra location quietly raises the bill.

With GetUp

A flat monthly price. Add locations and staff without watching a per-seat meter tick up.

How it works

From setup to running it

Going from a pile of single-site spreadsheets to one cross-location rota takes about an afternoon.

  1. 01

    Add your locations

    Create each venue once. Set its operating hours, roles and the local break and overtime rules that apply there — GetUp enforces them per site, not as one blunt company-wide setting.

  2. 02

    Add staff once, assign anywhere

    People are created at the company level with their roles and pay rate. A barista who covers two cafés is one record you can place at either, never two half-synced profiles.

  3. 03

    Build the week with the rules on

    Drag shifts onto the planner. As you go, GetUp flags clashes, missing breaks, under-18 limits and anyone tipping into overtime — across every location at once, before anyone is scheduled into a problem.

  4. 04

    Publish every site at once

    One publish pushes the schedule to all locations. Staff see only their own shifts on their phone; managers see their venue; you see everything.

  5. 05

    Run the day at the door

    At each site, staff clock in and out on a shared tablet with a PIN — no app to install. Those real check-in times flow straight into timesheets and payroll.

Outcomes

What changes

What changes once the whole operation is on one rota.

1

One source of truth

Every location's schedule lives in the same place, so coverage gaps and clashes surface while you can still fix them.

0

No double-booked floaters

Shared staff are one record. The planner won't let you schedule someone into two places at once.

Rules that match each site

Break, overtime and minor-hour limits are enforced per location, so a rule in one city doesn't quietly misfire in another.

Costs you can see

Projected labour for the week adds up as you build, per site and in total — not a surprise at payroll.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can one employee work at more than one location?

Yes. Staff are created at the company level, not tied to a single site. You can assign the same person to any location, and GetUp tracks their combined hours so you can see when they're approaching overtime across venues — and it blocks scheduling them in two places at the same time.

Do I pay per location or per employee?

Neither. GetUp is a flat monthly price (Starter or Pro) that includes your locations and your whole team. Adding a venue or a new hire doesn't change the bill, which is the opposite of the per-seat pricing most scheduling apps use.

Can different locations have different break or overtime rules?

Yes. Each location carries its own operating hours and its own break, overtime and minor-hour rules. The planner enforces the right rule for the right site as you build the schedule, rather than applying one company-wide setting everywhere.

How do staff see their schedule?

Once you publish, each person sees only their own shifts on their phone, including shifts at different locations. Managers see their venue; owners see every site. There's nothing to install for staff to view a schedule.

Does scheduling connect to time tracking and payroll?

Yes. Staff clock in and out on a shared tablet at each location, those real times populate timesheets, and hourly payroll is calculated from them across all sites. Scheduling, attendance and pay are the same system, not three tools you reconcile.
