Set up shift schedules in minutes
Create your weekly schedule with simple drag-and-drop. Copy last week's schedule with one click, let staff trade shifts on their phones, and publish when ready.
- Private drafts: Staff only see the schedule after you click publish.
- No scheduling conflicts: Instantly alerts you if someone is double-booked or on time off.
- Easy shift trades: Staff swap shifts with manager approval right from the app.
Make sure opening and closing tasks get done
Staff take a live photo in the app to prove tasks are done before they leave. No uploaded old photos from the camera roll and no skipped steps.
- Live photos only: Staff must take a real photo on-site during their shift.
- Temperature checks: Makes sure fridge and equipment temps stay in safe range.
- Finish before clock-out: Staff cannot close a shift until all tasks are marked done.
Track exact work hours with GPS and PIN kiosk
Staff clock in on a shared tablet using a 4-digit PIN, or from their phones with GPS location tracking. Timesheets calculate hours automatically and export straight to payroll.
- Tablet PIN kiosk: Employees punch in and out using a simple PIN code.
- GPS location check: Confirms staff are physically at the workplace when punching in.
- 1-click payroll export: Send total hours straight to Gusto, ADP, or Excel without manual math.

What makes StaffSumo different from other scheduling apps?
Most apps record a task as done when somebody taps a box. StaffSumo records a live-camera photo, a number that has to fall in range, or a written note, so an opening checklist produces evidence rather than a claim. Scheduling and the time clock are here too, and they are good, but the proof is the reason to move.
Can staff upload a photo from their camera roll?
No. The camera opens and the photo library is never reachable. That single rule is what makes a proof photo worth anything, and it is enforced in the app rather than by policy.
Do you do scheduling and time tracking as well?
Yes. Shift scheduling with open shifts, swaps and copy-week, plus a time clock with GPS verification and a shared kiosk mode with PIN entry. A shift cannot be closed with its checklist unfinished, which is where the two halves meet.
How does pricing work?
Two plans, priced per user: $2 a month for a single location, $3 where you run more than one. Scheduling, the time clock and photo-verified checklists are in both, so proof is not an upsell.
Can I move my schedule over from another app?
Yes. Import a shift CSV exported from your current tool and the people, positions and shifts come across. The page layout here follows the same conventions, which is deliberate. Nobody should have to relearn a scheduler to change one.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You export it and we delete it. Shifts, punches, checklist runs and the proof photos are all yours, and there is no retention hold designed to make leaving inconvenient.
