Built for the needs of ice cream shops

Plan around sunshine and temperature

Connect your till and prepare for warm spring days. Match labour costs to expected queues and scale down promptly if rain arrives unexpectedly.

better support for schedule checks involving younger workers

School pupils and students are the backbone of your team. Scope automatically checks schedules against the complex and strict Dutch Working Hours Act rules for 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds, preventing costly inspection fines.

Empower your seasonal workers

Give serving and terrace staff one central app to view schedules, swap last-minute shifts and submit availability. Say goodbye to chaotic WhatsApp groups.

Flexible scheduling for peak days

Schedule intelligently with a large pool of flexible staff and zero-hours contracts. Use weather data and historical revenue to balance ice cream production with counter staffing without unnecessary labour costs.

Accurate time tracking

Track exactly when staff clock in and out, even when shifts run late due to long queues after dinner. Approve hours easily and export directly to payroll.

Seamless summer communication

Publish schedules directly to your team’s smartphones. Last-minute changes due to sudden terrace weather trigger push notifications so everyone knows extra help is needed during a heatwave.

Built for the realities of ice cream shops

Go beyond basic scheduling. Scope offers advanced tools to manage changeable weather, deploy on-call staff intelligently and scale up quickly in summer. Ice cream carts & branches Craftsmanship & keyholders Rapid onboarding

Deploy serving staff flexibly across shops and mobile ice cream carts.

Have temporary pop-ups or ice cream bikes at events alongside your main shop? Create a shared staff pool. Scope provides clarity and prevents double booking, helping staff every cart and shop floor with the right people wherever the sun shines.

Keep track of an ice cream specialist and supervisor on the floor.

Not every holiday worker can operate ice cream machines or cash up at closing. Assign skills such as ice cream specialist, keyholder or social responsibility certification directly to profiles. Scope warns you if production starts without the right specialist or the shop closes without a responsible person.

Streamline the large intake of school pupils in spring.

Every spring, you hire dozens of young people for the ice cream season. Make contract management and identity checks a smooth digital process. Store minors’ identity documents securely in line with the GDPR, and give new serving staff app access before their first working day.
