The Basics


Before digging into a deep dive of Scheduling, follow this checklist to cover the basics of R365 Scheduling for your Restaurant Location:


Inactivate Employees that will not be scheduled in R365 (Salaried Employees, etc.)
Merge multiple records of the same Employee across Locations into one Employee record if that person works at multiple restaurants
Exclude Jobs from the schedule that will not be scheduled
Color code the remaining jobs for easy classification
Create a Schedule of Shifts without any Employees assigned
Save as a Scheduler Template once complete for easy Scheduling in the future
Give Employees 'App Access' once you are ready for them to gain access to the R365 Red App



Want to tackle more advanced Scheduling? Follow this checklist in addition to the checklist above:


Navigate to the Location record and add the following:
  • Burdened Labor Estimates
  • Labor % Goal

Create a Sales Forecast for the current period. One of the Smart Forecasts is a great starter!
