Manual scheduling is a recurring reconstruction project.
Every week a manager checks availability, re-reads approved time off, fills in open shifts, and sends the new schedule. Then answers the questions about it. Opyris replaces this loop with a one-time setup and automatic execution.
Set the rules once. Opyris creates the schedule on schedule.
Define your staffing requirements
Set departments, roles, shift templates, and how many people you need per role per shift. These become the rules Opyris uses every time the scheduler runs.
Set the run cadence
Choose when the scheduler runs automatically—day, time, and how many weeks ahead to schedule. Common choices: weekly on Thursday at 6 AM, bi-weekly on Sunday at midnight.
Opyris collects availability automatically
Employee availability, manager-entered constraints, and approved time-off are all considered when the scheduler runs. No need to chase availability before each run.
The schedule goes out—and employees are notified
When the scheduler runs, the schedule is created and employees are automatically notified. Open shifts with eligible staff are also sent automatically. Managers review and adjust as needed.
The scheduler runs on your cadence, without reminders.
Configure the automatic scheduler once: set the run day and time, how many weeks ahead to schedule, and which departments to include. Opyris takes it from there. The scheduler remains on between runs—no toggling, no manual triggers required.

Who automatic scheduling is for.
Great fit
- Retail stores, restaurants, cafes with recurring shift patterns
- Managers who rebuild the same schedule every week
- Teams with consistent staffing requirements by role
- Operations that want the schedule to go out without a manual trigger
- Businesses where employee availability changes between weeks
- Seasonal businesses that need scheduling paused off-season and running automatically when the busy period returns
May not be the right fit
- Businesses where every schedule is completely different with no recurring patterns ⓘ
- Operations with only 1–2 employees and very simple schedules
- Businesses that require full manual control of every assignment
Questions about automatic scheduling.
Ask the founder →How does Opyris decide which employee goes on which shift?
Opyris uses your staffing requirements (roles per shift), approved employee availability, approved time off, and any manager-defined constraints. It does not use a black-box algorithm—your rules drive the output.
Can I make manual changes after the scheduler runs?
Yes. Automatic scheduling creates the initial schedule. Managers can adjust assignments, add shifts, approve exceptions, and handle changes after the schedule is created.
What if the scheduler doesn't have enough available employees to fill all shifts?
Open shifts are created for roles that couldn't be filled automatically. Eligible employees are notified about open shifts, and managers can assign or approve claims.
Can I control which departments run automatically?
Yes. You configure which departments and shift templates are included in each automatic run.
Does the automatic scheduler work with demand scheduling?
Yes. Demand Scheduling events you've planned—holidays, promotions, special events—are reflected in the staffing requirements used when the automatic scheduler runs.
