Keep your store fully staffed—even when turnover hits

With built-in applicant tracking and smart scheduling tools, you can fill open roles quickly and get new hires up to speed without slowing down the front end or the floor.

Onboard employees faster—and keep them longer

Self-service onboarding makes paperwork easy for new team members. Digital forms, W-4s, I-9s, and direct deposit info flow straight into payroll and timekeeping—no retyping or chasing missing signatures.

Stay within your labor budget without guesswork

Get accurate labor forecasts based on sales history, holidays, school schedules, and local events like home games. Build schedules that match store demand—not just availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be “tech savvy” to use TimeForge?

Not at all. If your team can handle a spreadsheet, they’ll have no problem using TimeForge. It’s built for store teams—not IT departments.

Yes. TimeForge connects with many of the systems independent grocers already use. You won’t have to rip out what’s already working.

Most stores are up and running in a few days to a few weeks, depending on how fast they want to go. We’ll walk you through setup, help you bring in your team, and make sure everything’s running the way you need it to.

Absolutely. You can use just the parts you need—like scheduling or onboarding—and add more when you’re ready.

Yes. You can customize rules by role, department, or location. Great for grocery stores with union contracts, wage tiers, or multiple banners.

Real people. U.S.-based. Restaurant and grocery experts—not chatbots or outsourced reps.

Yes—and that’s often the biggest surprise. Staff love being able to see their schedules, request time off, and swap shifts without chasing down a manager. Adoption is quick because the system is simple.

That’s exactly when most grocers switch. If you're already making it work in Excel or on paper, you're spending more time than you need to—and missing opportunities to reduce labor costs, improve coverage, and protect your team.
