New features help businesses quickly connect with qualified gig workers to cover last-minute shift openings.
Lubbock, Texas, July 15 –
TimeForge, the leading provider of labor management solutions for the retail and restaurant industries, is excited to announce new capabilities that help businesses secure qualified, on-demand workers when they need them most. These features are designed to support last-minute shift coverage, especially during peak periods, special events, or in response to unexpected absences.
TimeForge already helps operators minimize staffing gaps through accurate labor forecasting, convenient scheduling tools, and earned wage access options that improve retention.
But even well-run teams face unforeseen disruptions—and now, managers have a new way to stay fully staffed when plans change.
With these added capabilities, businesses can explore new avenues for filling urgent shift needs by connecting with background-checked gig workers across retail, food service, and hospitality roles. This provides operators with more flexibility and resilience in dynamic labor environments.
“TimeForge has always focused on helping businesses run leaner and smarter by streamlining labor management,” said Anthony Presley, Managing Partner at TimeForge.
“These new features offer our customers a practical way to fill staffing gaps when regular resources fall short. It’s about making sure our users have more tools to keep shifts covered and teams supported.”
The enhancements are ideal for operators who occasionally need extra hands without committing to long-term hires. Whether managing a staff shortage or planning for a busy weekend, managers now have more control over how they respond.
“Staffing is one of the biggest challenges facing operators today,” said Audrey Hogan, Chief Operating Officer at TimeForge. “Even with great forecasting and scheduling tools, unexpected changes still happen. These new capabilities give managers the flexibility to adapt quickly and keep their teams running smoothly.”
This addition reinforces TimeForge’s mission to simplify workforce operations and give businesses the tools they need to adapt quickly. With the ability to tap into gig-style labor resources, TimeForge continues to deliver real-world solutions for real-world challenges.
