Why You Need It: This Web service lets restaurant managers build employee schedules online, including availabilities, requests off, job codes, and experience levels; it also allows managers to check sales forecasts and historical trends so that they know how much staffing they'll need.

Staffers can then view their work schedule, request shift trades, and communicate with coworkers, all from their phone or computer.
