Everything in one place

Muster brings scheduling, team management, and workforce intelligence together in a single, clean interface.

Scheduling

Drag-and-drop grid

Visual week grid with drag-and-drop shift assignment and reordering. Optimistic updates keep the experience instant.

Weekly, pay period, and monthly views

Switch between a 7-day grid, your actual pay period, or a full month calendar — all in one place.

Open shifts

Create unassigned shifts that employees can claim. Race condition protection ensures two employees can't grab the same shift.

Shift presets

Save your common shifts — First Shift, Swing, Closing — and reuse them with a single click.

Role-based scheduling

Assign roles to each shift — Server, Bartender, Line Cook — and filter the grid by role to see your coverage at a glance.

Conflict detection

Warns managers when a shift overlaps with approved time off or violates minimum rest periods between shifts.

Team Management

Employee management

Add, deactivate, and manage employees with role assignments, pay rates, and team membership all in one place.

Role-based access control

Owners, managers, team leads, and employees each see exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less.

Multi-location support

Manage multiple locations under one account. Each location has its own teams, schedule, and settings.

Invite-only employee access

Employees only join through manager-sent invite links. No random sign-ups, no data leaks.

Requests & Availability

Time off requests

Employees request time off, managers approve or deny with optional notes. Full request history kept on record.

Shift swap requests

Two-stage swap approval — the receiving employee confirms, then the manager approves. Nobody gets surprised.

Availability setting

Employees set recurring weekly availability. Managers see it before scheduling so nothing gets missed.

Blackout dates

Block time off requests during busy periods — holidays, events, peak weeks. Scoped per org, location, or team.

Labor Costs & Intelligence

Live labor cost overlay

Daily and weekly labor costs calculated right on the schedule. Overtime applied automatically based on your org's thresholds.

Overtime alerts

Configurable daily and weekly overtime thresholds — supports federal 40h/week rules and California-style 8h/day rules.

Minimum staffing rules

Set minimum staff counts per role per shift. Get warned before approving time off that would drop you below minimum coverage.

Rest period enforcement

Set a minimum gap between shifts (e.g. 8 hours). Muster warns you if a scheduling decision would violate it.

More on the way

Mobile apps, automated shift reminders, recurring shifts, calendar sync, and more — see everything that's coming.
