PrepIt solutions

Coffee shop scheduling software

Plan cafe coverage, then keep the published schedule visible.

PrepIt helps managers prepare coffee shop schedules in the web portal and gives staff a clear published schedule view from the shop iPad.

The problem

A schedule is only useful if the team can trust it.

Coffee shops need coverage by role, daypart, and rush. When the draft, published version, and staff-facing view drift apart, employees ask the same questions and managers spend time clarifying what should already be obvious.

How PrepIt helps

PrepIt separates planning from shop-floor viewing.

Managers can keep schedule editing in the portal while the Apple app shows a read-only published schedule to the shop. That prevents local-only edits from pretending to be shared while still making the schedule easy to reference on shift.

Product fit

Built around practical coffee shop workflows

Published schedule view

Staff can see the schedule that has been published for the shop, without seeing unfinished draft work.

Web portal planning

Managers use the portal for schedule building, publishing, coverage review, and deeper schedule workflows.

Shop-aware schedule display

Schedule views are scoped to the active organization and shop so locations do not bleed into each other.

Connected timekeeping

Schedules sit next to Clock In/Out and hour logs, so managers can compare planned work with actual shift activity.
