Barber shops juggle appointments and walk‑ins across late nights and weekends, often with rotating casuals and apprentices. RosterElf unites rostering, payroll, HR tools, time & attendance, and compliance in one platform—so owners align staffing to bookings, control wage spend, and give staff mobile self‑service for availability, swaps, and updates.
With RosterElf rostering, managers drag‑and‑drop shifts for barbers, apprentices, and reception. Perfect Match AI suggests staff by availability and skills (fades, beard trims, shaves) while costed rosters protect margin during promos and peak periods.
