How Roosted’s Patented System Solves the On-Demand Staffing Puzzle

With event based or on-demand staffing, schedules can change by the hour. Filling shifts isn't just about availability, it’s about making fast, confident decisions while juggling qualifications, compliance, last-minute call-outs, and constant updates. For many businesses, it’s a daily scramble.

That’s exactly why we built - and patented - a better way.

“We built Roosted to solve the problems we kept seeing over and over again - last-minute chaos, burnout, and wasted time. Our goal has always been to make scheduling feel like less of a chore and more of a strength for the teams using it.”
— Derick Dorner, CEO of Roosted HR

At Roosted, we’ve created a unique system built specifically for the realities of on-demand staffing. Our patented logic automatically matches the right worker to the right shift using flexible, configurable rules. Whether you’re staffing an event, backfilling a call-out, or scaling up for a busy weekend, Roosted helps you make smarter decisions, faster.

Here’s what makes our approach different and why it works for teams that can’t afford to fall behind.

1. Smarter shift matching built for speed

Templates and basic availability lists only get you so far. In the on-demand world, every shift is a moving target. You need to factor in credentials, hours worked, location preferences, overtime limits, and more, often with little notice.

Our patented logic handles all of that in real time, surfacing the best-fit worker for each shift so you can spend less time problem-solving and more time running the operation.

2. Dynamic scheduling that adapts as things change

Most scheduling tools follow a static approach: build the grid, then make changes as needed. That’s too slow for on-demand staffing. Roosted evaluates every shift in context considering who’s available, who’s qualified, who hasn’t worked too many hours, and suggests assignments that reflect the current moment, not last week’s plan.

You get a more flexible, responsive scheduling engine that adjusts as fast as your business needs it to.

3. Built-in conflict prevention

Missed certifications. Double-booked workers. Not enough rest time between shifts. These are the kinds of issues that break on-demand schedules and most tools catch them too late. Roosted flags potential conflicts before they become real problems, so managers can stay ahead of disruptions.

Whether it’s compliance, overlapping shifts, or last-minute availability changes, our system gives you peace of mind that every assignment is solid.

4. Scales with your operation

As your on-demand workforce grows, so does complexity. What worked with a spreadsheet and 20 part-timers won’t hold up at 200, 500 and into the thousands. Roosted was built to handle scale from the start. Whether you're managing staffing for one site or a national operation, our logic adapts to keep your system efficient and reliable.

No bottlenecks, no breakdowns, just smooth scheduling at any size.

5. Less manual work, more time saved

When you're handling shift requests, call-outs, and confirmations all day long, every saved minute counts. Roosted takes care of the repetitive work by assigning shifts, alerting workers, and updating the schedule in real time. This means you stay in control but without getting stuck in the weeds.

Solving on-demand scheduling, once and for all

At Roosted, we believe that scheduling shouldn’t be the thing holding your team back. That’s why we built a patented system designed for the realities of on-demand staffing, fast-moving, complex, and constantly changing.

Our system doesn’t just make scheduling easier. It makes it smarter, more scalable, and built for the speed of business.
