Hourly Schedule Template
Build an hour-by-hour schedule for your team, then print or export it.
What is an hourly schedule template?
An hourly schedule template lays out each working day by the hour, showing every employee's start time, end time, and break. It is the format retail stores, restaurants, and call centers rely on, because those businesses staff specific hours rather than a flat 9-to-5.
The key difference from a weekly template is granularity: an hourly template cares about the exact clock time each person is on the floor. That makes it easy to spot gaps in coverage, avoid overlaps, and make sure breaks don't leave a counter or register unattended.
To build one, enter your team and choose a shift length. The generator below fills in a fixed daily pattern by default, and you can switch to a rotating pattern if your team works days and nights. Every cell is clickable, so you can adjust a single shift without rebuilding the whole schedule.
