ONE PLAN. A CLEARER WEEK.Cafés & hospitalityRetail teamsCleaning & service businesses
LESS JUGGLING, MORE CLARITY

Your people.
Your shifts.
A plan that adds up.

A weekly schedule is more than a grid. It is who is available, which role a shift needs, and how many hours each person can take on.

QuickQuack keeps those details together and gives you a readable starting point for the week.

Start with your real staffing needs, then review the result before sharing.

Add your team

Set names or initials, roles, available weekdays and a weekly hour cap for each employee.

Set your shift pattern

Choose the days, start and end times, required role, unpaid break and staffing level.

Generate and refine

Build a balanced starting point, fill any gaps and export a clean schedule.

Illustration only. The live planner calculates results from your entries.

KNOW WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION

A gap should never
hide in the grid.

When the available team cannot cover a shift, the planner leaves the slot open and explains what to review. It does not silently ignore availability or hour limits.

You decide whether to change the shift, adjust an employee’s settings or make a different assignment.

BUILT FOR REAL WORKING WEEKS

Small teams. Different rhythms.

A flexible starting point for the people who keep a business moving.

Hospitality teams

Plan morning and afternoon cover, set role requirements and keep weekly hours visible.

Retail businesses

Build a rota around opening hours and the number of people each shift needs.

Service operations

Coordinate cleaning, maintenance and other service teams without adding a complicated workflow.

A MORE USEFUL OVERVIEW

Keep hours and
estimated costs in view.

See assigned hours by employee and an estimated base labour cost for your schedule. Unpaid breaks are deducted from the calculation.

These are planning estimates, not payroll calculations. Overtime premiums, taxes and employment rules need a separate review.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you build next week.

What does the Employee Schedule Generator do?

It assigns team members to the shifts you create, considering their available weekdays, role and maximum weekly hours. It tries to balance assigned hours and identifies shifts it could not fully cover.

Can I change a generated schedule?

Yes. Use the assignment editor to change or remove a team member. The planner checks availability, role, overlapping shifts and the weekly hour cap before accepting an assignment.

Does it handle overnight shifts?

Yes. An end time earlier than or equal to the start time is treated as the next day. Employees must be available on both weekdays. Review the following week too when a Sunday shift runs into Monday.

Can I print or export my rota?

Yes. Print the weekly schedule or choose Save as PDF in your browser print dialog. You can also export a CSV of assignments, including uncovered staffing slots.

Where is my team information stored?

In local storage in this browser on this device. There is no cloud account or cross-device sync in this edition. Export a backup before clearing site data.

Is the cost estimate a payroll calculation?

No. The estimate is scheduled hours after unpaid breaks multiplied by the hourly rates you enter. It excludes tax, overtime premiums, benefits, paid-break rules and other payroll costs.

Can I buy a subscription now?

Plan selection leads to a checkout review. Live payment and service activation are not connected in this package. The website does not collect card details or create a paid subscription.

Will staff receive the schedule automatically?

No. Export a PDF or CSV and share it yourself. Automatic email, shift swaps and team logins are not included in this local edition.
