Staff scheduling & shift dispatch

Post the shift.
We text your team

Dispatchd fills your roster by text — for any business that runs on shifts. Post the positions you need, your team gets a message, replies YES, and the shift staffs itself. Nothing for them to download.

When a shift opens

The board lights up in order.

Dispatchd doesn't blast everyone at once. It texts your most reliable people first, then widens out until every slot is filled — and holds back anyone running into overtime unless you need them.

Wave 1

Top 5

Your most reliable, available staff for that position get first call.

Wave 2

Next 10

If slots are still open after the window, the next tier gets texted.

Wave 3

Everyone else

The full pool opens up so a shift never goes unfilled for lack of reach.

Fallback

Overtime offer

Only if the pool runs dry do near-overtime staff get an explicit OT ask.

The loop

From open shift to paid week.

Step 1Manager

Post the shift

Name the positions and how many of each. The total is full staff. Save a normal day as a template and fire it in one tap.

Step 2Staff

They reply YES

Your crew gets a text, claims the shift, and confirms the day before. On-site GPS clock-in keeps hours honest.

Step 3Payroll

The week exports

Actual hours tracked, missing punches auto-verified by text, you approve, and payroll exports clean — no chasing.

What's inside

Everything that runs a shift, in one place.

01

Tiered dispatch

Texts the right people in order of reliability until every position is filled.

02

Day-before confirm

Booked staff confirm by text. Miss it and the slot reopens automatically.

03

On-site clock-in

GPS-verified clock-in — staff can't punch in unless they're actually at the venue.

04

Hours & payroll

Real hours tracked, missing times recovered by text, one-click payroll export.

05

Reliability scoring

The people who show up and show up on time rise to the top of the list.

06

Multi-venue

Run every building from one login, each with its own private staff and schedule.

Why it exists
Built for how shift work really runs_

Group texts, no-shows, and the end-of-week scramble to figure out who actually worked aren't a scheduling problem — they're a communication problem. Dispatchd is the layer between a manager and their staff that handles all of it.

Every feature exists because a shift went sideways and someone needed it to not happen again.

Questions

The short version.

Does my staff need to download an app?

No. Everything happens over text on the phone they already have. They get a message, reply YES, and they're booked.

How do staff sign up to get texts?

They opt in once — during onboarding or by texting a keyword — and can reply STOP to opt out anytime. Consent is handled the right way from the start.

What kind of business is this for?

Any business that schedules people in shifts — restaurants, retail, security, healthcare, events, warehouses, facilities, salons, staffing agencies, and more.

Can I run more than one location?

Yes. Manage every location from one login, each with its own private staff and schedule.
