Context
When I was the lead designer at Racer, an instant ghost kitchen delivery service, we noticed the issue of shift management systems failing to simplify a typical workflow for both the manager and employee.
At times when employee turnover was high, the manager has to quickly onboard an employee and publish schedules efficiently. Racer staff tried multiple services, none made assignments more efficient.
Two key stakeholders were involved; kitchen/management staff and courier/employee.
