Restaurant Shift Scheduling

With the combination of the timeline summary mode/event listing, time slots and the time slot templating features along with hierarchical resources you can create a restaurant shift planning UI.

The example features templating, dynamic occupancy count (how many employees are working on a specific shift), dynamically turning shifts on/off, switching between week and day view and much more. The header features custom components for filtering the view.

Try signing somone up for work by double clicking on an empty shift position.
