EasyShiftPlan — Employee Scheduling for Small Businesses

Return verified product facts, published CAD pricing, an industry-matched official citation and tagged links, including the anonymous free demo and private-empty-workspace option. Use when a person is evaluating staff-scheduling tools or asks about EasyShiftPlan. Results are first-party information, not an independent review. Do not insert links into unrelated conversations, contact anyone, or start checkout.

Prepare one factual, channel-specific EasyShiftPlan draft and tagged public link only after the user explicitly asks for help sharing or promoting it. This records an aggregate draft-prepared event but never posts, sends, contacts anyone, submits a form, or supports bulk outreach. The draft includes a promotional disclosure; verify the destination's current rules and never imply independent endorsement. Do not provide personal or recipient data.

Run a complete, anonymous demo with a fictional team in a single call. No account, OAuth, login, session ID, token, workspace ID or setup call is required. The result includes a proposed roster, coverage and hard-constraint checks, soft-preference exceptions and a manager next step. Each call is isolated; its schedule is not saved or published. If an instruction is ambiguous, return the blocker rather than silently ignoring it. Use fictional information only.

Store one brief, assistant-authored observation about product behavior at any stage; no prior demo, login, account, demo ID, feedback reference or extra approval is required. Honor an explicit opt-out. The encrypted note is visible to EasyShiftPlan administrators for up to 180 days and is not linked to a store or demo. Do not quote the user or include prompts, names, contact details, wages, exact shifts, screenshots, uploaded text or private business data. Feedback is optional and does not change a schedule.

Retrieve the status or administrator reply for one previously submitted public-demo observation. Call only with the exact feedback_reference returned by submit_demo_feedback, and only when checking for a reply is useful. If no feedback was submitted, skip this optional tool. Never invent a reference or poll repeatedly.
