How accurate is the shift calculator?
It gives a planning estimate, not a compliance review. It is best used to compare staffing scenarios before you build the final rota.
What if my shift lengths vary?
Start with the dominant shift pattern, then run a second scenario for your longer or shorter shifts to compare the gap.
Can I use this for restaurant scheduling?
Yes. The calculator is especially useful for restaurants because it helps you model lunch, dinner, and weekend coverage before labor cost starts drifting.
