Kitchen Scheduling Studio

Load your team's constraints once. Ask for three versions of next week. Post the one that hits the number.

You already know how the schedule gets written. Sunday night, last week's sheet as the template, a mental list of who can't close Tuesday, who wants the hours, who's two shifts from overtime, and a labor target you'll find out you missed when payroll runs.

The Scheduling Studio turns that into a planning system. You capture each person's availability and preferences once. You write down the rules your property actually runs on — overtime, contract minimums, breaks, rotation, the labor target. Then you use an AI assistant as a planning partner: build the week against the forecast, stress-test it against a call-out, cut hours three different ways and see what each one costs in coverage — before anything goes on the wall.

AI-assisted, never AI-written. You still sign the schedule.

What's inside

• Weekly Schedule & Labor Planner — two versions: standard 40-hour weekly overtime, and daily overtime for California, Nevada, Colorado, and Alaska
• Employee Preference Intake — one page per person: availability, hours, hard limits, stations
• Property Constraint Sheet — your overtime rule, contract terms, break rules, labor target, and service calendar in one place
• AI Project Setup Guide — what to load, what never to load, and how to keep employee data out of places it shouldn't be
• 12 scenario prompts — cover the event with zero overtime · absorb a Friday call-out · cut 40 hours three ways · flag every rule this draft breaks · and more
• Pre-Post Policy Check — the one-page check before the schedule goes up
• Two worked examples on a teaching property — a normal week and an event week

Who it's for

Chefs and sous chefs who write the schedule every week and own — or are about to own — the labor number.
