Overall, this app was created to solve the challenges of restaurant management [1]. We designed it to be simple and user-friendly for both managers and employees. Key features include secure authentication using Firebase, a weekly scheduling tool for managers, and an emergency contact feature to quickly find available employees [2]. Employees can manage their availability with a week-view calendar. The app's functionalities support check in check out updates for attendance and shift management, improving overall communication and coordination within the restaurant. To test its effectiveness, we surveyed managers and employees who used the app, receiving mostly positive feedback. Future updates will add direct messaging and inventory calculations within the app to incorporate more core features to the app. This app effectively boosts productivity and reduces miscommunication in restaurants, addressing common scheduling challenges and providing an solution. By focusing on enhancing communication and operational efficiency, our app aims to improve the restaurant management experience and efficiency.
