Needed help with scheduling
I have found that I am not very good at scheduling.
I can’t seem to predict how many employees I need at the store at one time.
I don’t take into consideration holidays, weekends or weather. I also don’t consider how sales will affect traffic to the store. I frequently mess up the schedule with not putting enough people on. I also tend to short people on hours rather than rotate throughout the staff. I have put people together that don’t work well together. I also have scheduled people when they request days off. It has dawned on me that perhaps scheduling is not something I can handle. It is my marijuana dispensary and I manage it. I don’t want to hand the reins over to a typical bartender that could abuse the power. So I have been looking into hiring a professional to help me with the shcueling and managing of my budtenders. I found across the board the best person to hire is a recreational cannabis consultant. They are knowledgeable in the cannabis field and have worked with multiple dispensaries. They know what kind of traffic to expect when. The cannabis consultant I am looking at works only in my community too. They know what kind of customer we are getting and when. The cannabis consultant shouldn’t have a problem making a full functional schedule. I am hoping that eventually I can learn how to properly do it and take the reins back. I don’t want to have a cannabis consultant making my schedule for the rest of my life.
