Labor costs vary by location, and you need to see them separately.

A location in a high-wage market and one in a lower-wage market will look completely different on a blended labor report. When you can't break down labor cost per location, you can't identify which stores are running over on labor and which are running efficiently. ZoomShift's payroll reporting filters by location, so you can compare labor cost across your portfolio and act on the ones that are out of line.

Save Time

New location onboarding is slow when scheduling is manual.

Every time you open a new franchise location, someone has to set up the scheduling process from scratch: create the roster, build the schedule, train the manager on the system. ZoomShift's cloud-based setup means a new location is operational in the scheduling platform in minutes. Manager permissions are assigned by location so each store manager sees only their schedule without access to other locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

At its core, scheduling software like ZoomShift keeps your staff on the same page with its feature-rich web and mobile app. The schedule is online and easily viewed 24/7 by both your team and managers. It also makes it easy to communicate when shift cover requests go out or the schedule gets published since ZoomShift has text, email, and push notifications. That means fewer no shows and less back-and-forth email and text chains to cover shifts.
The simplicity of ZoomShift is why people love it so much. Managers enter all employees into the app alongside pertinent info like their job title and wages. Once all your employees are entered into ZoomShift, you can begin shift planning by clicking Schedule in the navigation bar and slotting your employees for the shifts you need covered. Rinse and repeat as necessary and copy schedules daily, weekly, or even monthly to save time.

Prices vary based on which package you select and how many active employees are using the software each month. Check out our Starter, Premium, and Enterprise solutions to see what fits your needs the best.

There's no limit on the number of locations in a single account. Each location gets its own schedule view. You can add locations as you open new stores, and the per-user pricing means you're only paying for active employees — not for locations.
Yes. Manager permissions in ZoomShift are set by location. A location manager sees only their location's employees and schedule. Area managers and owners can be given visibility across all locations. Permissions are configurable per account.
ZoomShift bills per active employee per month — an employee counts as active only in months when they appear on the schedule. If you're in a seasonal franchise business where headcount surges for a few months and drops off the rest of the year, you're only billed during active months.
Yes. An employee has a home location but can be scheduled at other locations. Hours worked at each location are tracked separately in the timesheet reports, so labor cost rolls up to the correct location for each shift worked.
ZoomShift's reporting is designed for single-operator use across multiple owned locations. If you're a franchisor looking to aggregate data across independently owned franchisee accounts, that requires each franchisee to operate their own ZoomShift account — cross-account reporting is not currently available.
