Scheduling for teams of student workers
Staff scheduling that knows the school calendar.
Trusty Schedule builds conflict‑free schedules for shops, cafés, and restaurants that run on student staff — because availability automatically follows each school’s A‑day, B‑day, and no‑school calendar.
Tell us about your team and we’ll get you set up — no signup forms.
Your best people are students. Their availability changes every school day.
Block schedules, exam weeks, and no‑school days make student availability a moving target — and generic scheduling tools have no idea what an A‑day is. Trusty Schedule does.
The difference
Availability that follows the bell schedule.
Mark each date an A‑day, a B‑day, or a no‑school day once. Every employee sets the hours they can work on each kind of day. Trusty resolves everyone’s real availability automatically — so the schedule you build never fights the school calendar.
- Per‑employee availability for A‑days and B‑days
- Unavailable hours blocked right in the builder
- No more spreadsheets or guesswork
