Schedules your associates
won't quit over.
Predictable scheduling law isn't a feature toggle. Cross-training isn't a spreadsheet. Foot traffic isn't a guess. Rostor takes the data your POS, traffic counter, and weather feed are already producing, and writes a roster that's compliant, fair, and profitable.
The realities your existing tools pretend don't exist.
NYC, SF, Chicago, Oregon, Philadelphia, LA, Emeryville. 14-day advance notice. Predictability pay. Right to rest. Most teams handle it manually and pay the penalties.
POS shows the rush. The roster shows the same coverage at 11 AM and 7 PM. The store loses sales twice.
An associate who can do POS, fitting room, and stock is gold — but if scheduling doesn't know who's cross-trained, they'll get stuck on register all week.
Mother's Day at jewelry. Back-to-school at apparel. Black Friday everywhere. The retail calendar is a year-long cycle of known surges.
A mall store has fixed hours. A street store has its own. A pop-up has neither. The roster engine needs to know which is which.
Federal and state child labor law restricts when minors can work — by age, by day of week, by school session. Easy to violate by accident.
Pre-tuned for your work — not a generic shift app.
Pull traffic counter, POS, footfall, and weather data. The solver builds coverage curves that match demand, not habit.
Pre-built constraints for every active jurisdiction. Advance notice, predictability pay, right to rest, schedule changes — all enforced automatically.
Mid-shift moves between POS, sales floor, fitting room, stock — based on live coverage gaps and who's cross-trained.
Open shifts publish to qualified, available associates first. Workers can claim from mobile. Fairness rotation built in.
Federal FLSA + state child labor rules pre-loaded. The solver won't even propose an illegal teen shift.
Plan staffing for known surges (Mother's Day, BFCM, school start). Save and reuse the model across years and stores.

"We had a 22% Fair Workweek penalty rate in our New York stores. Nobody on my team had the time to fix it manually — they were already underwater. Rostor zeroed it out in the first month and gave my district managers back their Sundays."
