What is attractions staff scheduling and time tracking software?

Employee scheduling and time and attendance software helps attractions and entertainment businesses ditch paper, whiteboards, and outdated software for an easy, dynamic way to build schedules, manage shift changes, and record hours worked. Employees can see their shifts, swap when needed, and clock in from their phone, while supervisors get time back and accurate, real-time records for payroll and compliance.

How will software change my day-to-day work? 

Supervisors spend less time finding replacements for callouts, fixing timecards, or answering questions like “when am I working?”. With schedules, hours, and compliance handled in one system, your day opens up to focus on delivering the best visitor experience every shift.  

Plus, you’ll be ready for anything the day brings, from surprise weather to sudden crowds and everything in between.  

How does software help with credentials tracking and compliance?

Attractions and entertainment businesses depend on a range of workers – from minors with specific working rules to part-time, seasonal, and volunteer staff – and certain roles require certain skills and qualifications.  
 
Time tracking and entertainment scheduling software for employees makes navigating that compliance complexity simpler. You can track licenses and certifications, flag upcoming credential expirations and scheduling conflicts, and apply rules for things like break times and shift lengths
 
We also support predictive scheduling guardrails and alerts. With more cities and states adding these requirements, being ready matters.

Can I connect with my other systems?

Yes. Schedules and time data can flow directly into payroll and HR systems, so you avoid double entry and reduce errors. 

What does it take to get up and running? 

Getting started is simple. Some attractions and entertainment businesses can import their staff list, set up positions and shifts, and build their first schedule in just a few hours. Staff download the mobile app to see their shifts right away.  
 
The timeline really depends on how complex your rules and processes are. Either way, our team is ready to help whether you need quick answers or prefer full white-glove setup and onboarding
