BreakTime
Staff duty scheduling for busy schools. Fair rosters, automatic cover and no more clipboard chaos.
The challenge
Break-time supervision at a large school was planned on a clipboard: who is on playground duty, who covers when someone is sick and who has done more than their share. It broke weekly.
BreakTime had to build fair rosters automatically and survive real school life, where plans change by 7:45am.
Rosters that build themselves
The scheduler balances duties across staff automatically, respecting timetables, fairness and who covered last time.
- Automatic fair duty allocation
- Timetable-aware scheduling
- Duty zones mapped per break
Cover in two taps
Sick at 7am? Staff request cover from their phone and the system finds the fairest available replacement instantly.
- Instant cover requests
- Fairness-weighted replacements
- Push reminders before each duty
The staff room dashboard
Management sees the week’s supervision at a glance: coverage, gaps and duty loads per staff member, before problems reach the playground.
- Weekly coverage overview
- Duty load balance per teacher
- Incident notes per zone
