Manage Staff Schedules, Services, and Permissions in One Place
Invite staff by email (paid plans are billed per seat; the Free plan is one person).
For each service, pick the staff members who provide it, so clients only see people who actually do that service. Each staff member has their own working hours and days off, per service and per location if you use locations, and connects their own calendar so personal events block their time. On the booking page, clients choose a specific person or "Any Available", and on Pro and above you can use Round Robin (Random or Equal Distribution), Collective or On Behalf booking. Roles (Owner, Admin, Manager, Staff, plus custom roles in Settings → Roles & Permissions) decide who can edit services, see finances or manage the team. SchedulingKit schedules people, not rooms or equipment, and it doesn't produce utilization reports.
Invite your team to SchedulingKit, choose which services each person offers, set everyone's working hours and days off, and control what each role can see and change, all from one account. Explore All Features.
