shift default hours

Save time with smart shift defaults

Automatically load shift hours based on the role—no more manual edits.

Let the system remember your standard shift hours

Tired of entering the same start and end times repeatedly? Timble’s Shift Default Hours feature saves you time by automatically applying preset hours whenever you assign a role. Simply choose a role like “FOH” or “Kitchen” and the correct hours are filled in instantly—so you can focus on running your team, not adjusting shift times.

Key benefits

🕒 No more manual adjustments

Assigning a shift with a role automatically fills in the usual hours—like 9am to 3pm for FOH—so you don’t need to make any edits.

⚡ Speed up roster creation

Whether you're building a weekly schedule or filling a last-minute gap, default hours make the process quicker and smoother.

🔄 Stay consistent across the team

Preset hours reduce errors and ensure your team runs on the same expectations—great for clarity and smoother payroll processing.

👥 Built for busy teams

Perfect for businesses with regular shift patterns. Especially helpful when you’re managing larger rosters.

How it works

Set default hours for each role

Head into your Timble settings and assign standard shift hours to specific roles—like FOH, BOH, or Barista. These default times will be used whenever that role is selected, ensuring consistency across your roster. For example, you could set “FOH” to automatically run from 9am to 3pm.

Assign a role when creating a shift

When you create or edit a shift, simply choose the role as usual. Timble will automatically fill in the start and end times based on the default settings you’ve applied—saving you from repetitive manual input.

Adjust if needed

Need to change the times for a specific day or person? No problem. You can override the default hours at any time, giving you the flexibility to handle exceptions while still benefiting from a faster rostering workflow.
