Objective
QSROnline’s Scheduling App was designed for employees to have access to their schedules on their phones. Our Scheduling App works in conjunction with the Scheduler. In order for employees to be able to use the Scheduling App, their phone numbers will have to be entered in the Scheduler, under the “Schedule Delivery Settings” button, and they must have a current schedule. Managers and other members of a company’s leadership team that are not on the schedule, will not be able to access the scheduling app. Please review the QSROnline Managing App in these help guides. The Managing App can be accessed with your username and password for our software.

Trade Shifts
In the scheduling app the employee can click on the trade shifts icon and scroll through the dates in which the schedule has been posted. If they want to make the shift available, they would need to click on “Available” to start the process. The following screenshots will show the process.
