Scheduling shouldn't be harder than the actual work. Muster exists because the tools out there cost too much, do too little, or both.
The scheduling software market is dominated by tools that are either too expensive for small teams or too clunky for the managers who actually use them daily. The existing players all have their strengths, but they've accumulated years of cruft, confusing pricing, and features that get in the way more than they help.
Muster is built from scratch with a clear mission: give small and mid-size teams — restaurants, bars, cafes, retail, healthcare, any variable shift workforce — the scheduling power they actually need, in an interface that's fast and obvious to use.
The primary target is the restaurant and hospitality industry, where staffing complexity is high, margins are thin, and the cost of a bad schedule is felt immediately. But the core of what Muster does applies to any team where shifts change week to week and people's time actually matters.
Every feature we add gets tested against one question: does this make the day-to-day easier, or does it add noise? We cut what doesn't earn its place.
Your schedule data is yours. Role-based access means the right people see the right things. No dark patterns, no hidden exports, no platform lock-in.
We're not going to charge $4 per employee per month and call it simple. Muster's pricing will be transparent, flat where possible, and always competitive with the market.
Muster is built for any team where the schedule changes week to week and staffing actually matters.
The primary target. High staff turnover, complex role requirements, fluctuating demand, and labor cost pressure make scheduling critical.
Smaller teams, consistent patterns, but still need solid shift coverage and an easy way for employees to manage availability and requests.
Seasonal spikes, part-time heavy teams, and multi-location complexity. Muster handles each location independently without the chaos.
Strict coverage requirements, certification-aware role assignments, and shift swap workflows that don't leave gaps in coverage.
Front desk, housekeeping, F&B — manage multiple teams across departments in a single account.
If your team's schedule changes week to week and you have more than a handful of people to coordinate, Muster is for you.
