"We are excited about our certification of TimeForge which enables restaurateurs to easily manage labor and scheduling." TimeForge's online system is designed from the ground up to reduce labor costs by 3 percent - 5 percent and to keep staff members happy. Managers build labor schedules quickly with the TimeForge AutoScheduler(TM) - an automatic learning tool that builds schedules in seconds. Schedules are compared to actual costs and forecasts, providing a single solution to manage labor costs.

"We are excited about this partnership and look forward to providing customers with the best solutions available in the industry." Employees receive text and email messages about upcoming shifts, and access the TimeForge employee portal to swap shifts, change availability, or view timecards. Information can also be accessed using Facebook, or a smartphone (such as an iPhone or Blackberry). "I can make sure my labor is at 25-28 percent on a daily basis with the use of TimeForge. That makes a huge difference in this economy," said Dinerware customer, Paul Friedman. "At Peli Peli, we are using a variety of integrated tools with our Dinerware POS system, and TimeForge makes communication and scheduling easy on management and the staff."
