What Is Included in the Weekly Schedule?
RH Now's free restaurant schedule has space for the business name, date or week, manager, employee or role, and a column for every day from Monday through Sunday. It is designed as a simple planning sheet rather than a payroll or timekeeping system.
SIMPLE WEEKLY LAYOUT
Use One View for the Whole Week
Employee / Role
List the team member, position or coverage role on each row.
Monday–Sunday
Use the seven day columns to write planned shift times or coverage notes.
Manager & Week
Identify the manager responsible for the schedule and the week being planned.
HOW TO USE IT
Keep Weekly Staffing Easy to Read
Plan by role first
Consider the coverage your operation needs, then assign employees to the shifts and positions you use.
Use one time format
Keep shift notation consistent so the printed schedule is easy for the team to interpret.
Publish changes clearly
If a shift changes after the schedule is posted, use your normal communication process so employees are not relying on an outdated copy.
IMPORTANT
Scheduling Rules Depend on Your Location and Business
This worksheet does not calculate wages, overtime, breaks, predictive-scheduling requirements or other employment obligations. Use it as a planning aid and follow applicable employment laws and your company's scheduling procedures.
