Team management

Run your team without the runaround.

Schedules, permissions, pay rates and time off all live in Mako. You can manage the team without another spreadsheet or group chat.

TEAM MANAGEMENT

Every team member, every detail, one place.

Add people with their contact details, job title, role and pay. See everyone's status, working hours and assigned work at a glance: whether that is two people or twenty.

TEAM DIRECTORY

Your whole team, including the people who are not on payroll.

Instructors, front desk, apprentices and the bookkeeper who only needs the books. Everyone sits in one directory with the access their job actually requires, and seats are counted so you always know where you stand on your plan.

Rota
to
Ava runs the rota and sees every customer, but never sees what anyone earns. Elena sees the books and nothing else.
PERMISSIONS

Control who sees what, once.

Four built-in roles. Admin, Finance, Manager and Member. Your front desk does not need payroll access and your bookkeeper does not need the rota. Set it when you invite someone and stop thinking about it.

Admin, Finance, Manager, Member
Pay data restricted to Admin and Finance
Members see only their own schedule
WORKING HOURS

Availability the booking wizard actually respects.

Set each person's days, hours, maximum weekly load and the services they teach. Mako only offers times when someone is genuinely free and qualified, so you stop double-booking your own staff.

TIME OFF

Requests, approvals and balances that keep themselves.

Your team requests, you approve, balances update. Approved days are blocked from booking straight away, and Mako tells you what is already scheduled on those days so you can move it rather than find out on the morning.

8 hrs

a week is what managers lose to coordinating schedules and chasing their team over text. One system replaces the group chat.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

Having any issues? Report them to our team.

Contact us
Is there a limit on team members?

Starter includes 3 team members, Team includes 15, and Enterprise is unlimited. We are happy to review seat counts based on how you actually work.

How does pay tracking work?

Set each person's pay structure: hourly, per-booking, commission, or salary. When they clock time or complete jobs, Mako calculates their earnings automatically.

Can I stop staff seeing each other's pay?

Yes. Only Admin and Finance roles can see pay rates and payroll. A Manager can run the rota and see bookings and customers without ever seeing what anyone earns.

Can external team members have limited access?

Yes. Give an external team member or bookkeeper a Finance role for invoices and reports, or a Member role for their own schedule only. They never see more than their role allows.

What happens when I approve time off?

Those days are blocked from booking immediately, the person's balance updates, and anything already scheduled is flagged so you can move it rather than discover it later.

What is Mako?

Mako is built for service businesses. It brings CRM, scheduling, payments, team tools, AI features and financial reporting into one app, so you can run the business without piecing together several systems.

Is there any demo available?

Yes. The guided product demo requires a valid work email. No credit card or sales call is required.

Can I import my existing customers?

Yes. Upload a CSV file and Mako will map your columns to customer fields and tags.

Do you perform full migrations?

Yes. Upon a full year commitment, our team can look at what you have on other platforms and perform the migration for you.

How long does setup take?

The onboarding wizard walks you through 6 steps: your business info, your profile, how you work, your services (pre-populated based on your industry), your booking link, and inviting your team. Most users are up and running within a single session.
