Frequently asked questions
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please contact our sales team
Can we do a pilot?
Yes! We support whatever rollout plan makes sense for your business. We offer month-to-month pricing and a flexible cancellation policy, so you can test the waters without a long-term commitment. Many customers choose to start with a 3 month pilot in select locations, which includes our process of integrating, customizing, and evaluating the solution. This lets you see the impact before deciding on a full rollout.
Is Rightwork tailored to my company?
The labor modelling our team does uses data inputs that are specific to not only each company, but also each store within each company. Also, our data science team works closely with your subject matter experts to refine the models and ensure that the schedules and labor budgets are accurate so your team can use them with confidence.
What is auto-scheduling and how does it work?
Auto-scheduling is the process of running an algorithm to match schedules to forecasted demand as efficiently as possible. Unlike most auto-scheduling softwares, Rightwork uses a bottoms-up approach, where we breakdown the forecast all the way down to the product and channel levels. This ensures that when we map the required work to potential shifts, the results are as accurate as possible.
What industries does Rightwork serve?
Rightwork can help any company in the service industry optimize their labor. Right now, we are working with restaurants, hotels, and retail chains.
How does Rightwork help reduce labor costs?
By creating schedules using demand-based scheduling. Demand-based scheduling helps match labor with forecasted sales to avoid over or understaffing, and can be used to choose the best employee for shifts based on hourly rates, qualifications, preferences, and overtime risk.
How much can Rightwork save us on labor?
That depends on how efficiently you are currently allocating labor. We generally see our customers drop their labor percentage by 1 to 3 percent. In our most recent case study, we improved the annual profitability of a 16-store ramen chain by over $1 million.
