Our verdict on Daypart
Daypart is a staff scheduling application for salons, barbershops, and other small service teams. It helps managers build and publish weekly schedules, collect staff availability, detect conflicts, approve time off, coordinate shift swaps, and post open shifts for staff to claim. Team members can access schedules on the web or through the iOS app. Its focus is employee shift management rather than client appointment booking or broader workforce administration.
The published pricing offers a 30-day trial with full Team features and no credit card required. After the trial, the Team plan costs $20 per month, billed monthly, and supports up to 75 teammates and 10 locations. The plan includes the weekly schedule builder, availability collection, open shifts, shift claims, two-way trades, time-off approvals, and hours reporting. This gives small teams a clear path from evaluation to a single paid tier, without separating core scheduling functions across multiple paid levels.
Daypart’s strongest fit is a salon that needs scheduling controls without replacing its appointment system. Hours reporting, overtime alerts, schedule notifications, and exports can support payroll workflows, with Gusto and QuickBooks presets available for CSV or payroll exports. However, the product does not synchronize appointments and does not cover payroll processing, tax filing, or HR onboarding. Choose Daypart when employee availability, coverage, and shift changes are the main operational need; choose an alternative when staff scheduling must be connected directly to client bookings or handled alongside broader HR and payroll functions.
