What is Sling?

Sling is a scheduling and workforce communication platform built for businesses that manage hourly and shift-based employees, such as restaurants, retail stores, and healthcare facilities. It combines shift scheduling, time-off requests, open shift management, and a team newsfeed with private and group messaging so managers and staff can coordinate without leaving the app. Sling was acquired by restaurant technology company Toast, Inc. in 2022 and continues to operate under its own brand.

Beyond scheduling, Sling offers a time clock with GPS and kiosk options, labor cost tracking, and overtime alerts to help managers control payroll spending. A free plan supports up to 30 users, while paid Premium and Business tiers add mobile time tracking, reporting, and compliance tools for larger teams.
