Cover My Shift
In 2023 I worked at The North Face in the local mall. It was pretty fun, getting paid to walk around hang up stuff, and tell people we don’t have it in their size. The major issue though, was call-outs. Most of my co-workers were pretty young, around 18-24. They of course loved to call out, especially before their shift. I wanted more hours, managers needed shifts covered, and coworkers wanted to call out. Hence, the creation of “Cover My Shift”, a simple web app. Cover My Shift allowed coworkers to scan a QR code from the poster in the break room, select their shift, and then get an email notification of a shift that needed to be covered.
The web app was free to build and made with a simple landing page created with Carrd, a Google form and a sheet of paper.
