Shift scheduling software in Oman
Jadwala is shift scheduling software built for how businesses in Oman actually run — Friday–Saturday weekends, prayer times, Ramadan hours, and pricing in Omani Rial. Automatically build fair, optimized rotas for your restaurant, clinic, or shop, right here in the Sultanate.
Global scheduling tools are built for a Monday-to-Friday, dollar-priced world. In Oman that means constant friction: a weekend on the wrong days, no sense of prayer times or Ramadan, and a bill in a foreign currency. You end up bending the tool to fit the country instead of the other way around.
Meanwhile the local reality is demanding. Small teams where every absence is felt, seasonal swings around holidays and Ramadan, and a duty to schedule within Omani labour rules — all while keeping labour cost, measured in rials, under control.
Built for how Oman works
Jadwala understands the local week and the local rules, so your schedule fits your business without a workaround.
Friday–Saturday weekend
Coverage and fairness are built around Oman's real weekend, not a Western one — so weekend shifts are shared correctly and demand is planned for the right days.
Prayer times & daily rhythm
Leave room around prayer times in your coverage rather than scheduling straight through them, keeping the day's rhythm realistic for your team.
Ramadan scheduling
Set up a Ramadan coverage pattern with shorter shifts — Omani labour law reduces working hours for fasting employees to 6 a day (30 a week) — and re-run the optimizer; demand moves to the evening and Jadwala staffs for it. After the month, restore your standard pattern and rebuild.
Priced in OMR
Transparent pricing in Omani Rial with a free plan to start — no foreign-currency surprises, and the scheduling core available on affordable tiers.
A worked example: a Muscat café
Picture a café in Muscat with eight staff, open every day, with its busiest trade on Friday and Saturday.
- Coverage: 2 staff on quiet weekday mornings, 4 across the Friday–Saturday peak, a lead always present.
- Constraints: two students capped at 20 hours a week; prayer-time gaps respected; one week of Ramadan hours ahead.
- Goal: cover the local-weekend rush, stay within an OMR labour budget, and share weekends fairly.
Simple pricing in Omani Rial
Start free, then upgrade as your team grows. Paid plans are billed per organization in OMR — Pro at 5 OMR/month and Business at 14.9 OMR/month — with a 30-day Pro trial included.
Shift scheduling in Oman — FAQs
Is Jadwala priced in Omani Rial?
Yes. Jadwala is billed per organization in OMR, with a free plan to start and paid tiers for growing teams — no foreign-currency conversion.
Does it support the Friday–Saturday weekend?
Yes. Coverage, demand planning, and fair rotation are all built around Oman's Friday–Saturday weekend rather than a Western one.
Can it handle Ramadan schedules?
Yes. Set up a separate Ramadan coverage pattern with reduced daily hours and re-run the optimizer — Jadwala rebuilds the schedule around the evening peak. When the month ends, restore your standard pattern and rebuild.
Is it suitable for small businesses in Oman?
Yes. Jadwala works for a small café, pharmacy, or shop as well as larger, multi-site teams — the same rules scale as you grow.
Does it help with Omani labour rules?
Jadwala enforces rest rules as hard constraints — a minimum gap between shifts (8 hours by default) and a cap on consecutive working days (6 by default) — and you can set weekly-hours targets the optimizer works to. Configure these to match your policies and current Omani labour law; Jadwala doesn't provide legal advice.
