FAQ
Employee scheduling software, answered
Straight answers for managers comparing AI staff scheduling tools.
- What is MiniScheduler?
- MiniScheduler is easy employee scheduling for independent shops. Paste your team list, run MiniAI to build a full week (open, floor, and close under your labor hour budget), then publish so the team gets it. Built for people who still write the schedule by hand or hate their current tool — not for enterprise HR.
- Who is MiniScheduler for?
- Single-location shops: retail, coffee, small restaurants, salons, spas, and service businesses where a manager still builds next week in Excel, Notes, a group chat, or a clunky app they do not want to open.
- How does MiniAI scheduling work?
- You set store hours, role minimums, and a weekly hour cap. One click runs MiniAI to place people into open, floor, and close coverage. Unpaid lunch rules are applied so paid hours and clock hours stay honest.
- How much does MiniScheduler cost?
- One plan: $15 per month per store after a 14-day free trial. Includes MiniAI schedules, explain, publish, marketplace, email, SMS (opt-in), pre-shift voice, print, and CSV export.
- Can I import my team without typing everyone?
- Yes. Paste a CSV, a Slack message, or a messy list. MiniAI extracts names, emails, phones, roles, and target hours so you can review and add people in bulk.
- Is this multi-store enterprise software?
- No. MiniScheduler is built for one store at a time, for independent operators. Multi-location enterprise workforce suites are not the focus.
