Did you know?
Late or absent grocery workers have an outsized impact on sales
You rely on large hourly workforces to keep your stores running. When grocery and convenience employees don’t have clear schedules and friction-free time tracking, they don’t get to the right place at the right time and your bottom line suffers.

Reliable coverage for busy retail shifts
With a diverse mix of roles and workers, fluctuating demand, and shifting availability, staffing grocery and convenience stores is no easy task. That’s why scheduling with TCP works the way real teams do — fast, flexible, and ready for anything.
Accurate time = perfect paychecks
Most team members work different roles across departments, making accurate time tracking a puzzle. TCP captures time data wherever work happens so every piece falls into place and teams can trust every timecard.

What is employee scheduling and time tracking software for grocery and convenience retail?
Employee scheduling and time tracking software helps grocery and convenience retailers manage staffing across sales floors to stockrooms. It replaces paper schedules, spreadsheets, and manual timecards with a connected system that builds schedules, fills open shifts, and tracks hours accurately. Staff can see their schedules, request time off, and clock in from their phones while managers get real-time visibility into coverage, labor costs, and payroll data.
How does your scheduling software help my store during seasonal surges and promotions?
Seasonal periods and promotions create unpredictable traffic spikes that require flexible staffing. Humanity Schedule uses demand forecasting to predict coverage needs based on your historical data and staffing trends so you can schedule appropriately. When callouts happen during busy periods, backfill uses AI to help managers find quick shift replacements.
How does your software for grocery and convenience retail help with staff turnover and retention?
Fair, predictable schedules lessen burnout by balancing hours and rest periods, while the right solution makes it easier to handle last-minute changes and reduce fatigue- and frustration-inducing coverage gaps. With TCP, your staff have anytime access to their schedules, can swap or pick up shifts easily, and can trust their paychecks are accurate. The result? They stay longer.
Bonus: Managers also spend less time on admin and more time coaching, which strengthens the team and improves the customer experience.
Can I connect your solutions to my other systems
Yes. With hundreds of available integrations, your 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 with TCP?
Getting started is simple. Some teams import their employee list, set up positions and shifts, and build their first schedule in just a few hours. The timeline really depends on how complex your rules and processes are. No matter how messy or simple your needs are, our team is ready to help whether you need quick answers or prefer full white-glove setup and onboarding.
Do you support multiple store locations?
Yes! TCP supports multi-location operations so you can manage schedules, track time, and view labor costs across all your stores in one place. With TCP, leaders get the centralized visibility and insights they need while each store stays in control of its own scheduling and time tracking.
