Set Up The Outlet
The first time, setup asks every rule the outlet runs by, checks whether the team can actually cover the outlet, and offers a preview week before you build a real one.

The outlet duty roster, built and checked against the law at speed, instead of in a spreadsheet.
Why it exists
The job it takes off someone
An Outlet Leader builds next month’s roster by hand, in a sheet, every month. That is hours of work, and it is exactly where favouritism, unfair patterns and simple mistakes creep in — a seventh day in a row, a closing shift with one person on the floor. FOSS folds Malaysian employment law, the outlet’s own targets and company policy into the month, so every cell can be accounted for and the manager still decides.
What the current build covers
It suggests, it does not decide. Tap a cell and it offers the best shift for that person, with the reason; nothing is written until someone presses Use. Auto-fill can fill a day, a week or the month, and the manager can override any cell. Only a breach of the law — or a halal rule — is refused.
Who it is for
Three people open this
If none of these is you, it is probably not the tool you want — say so on the form and ABP will point you at the right one.
Outlet Leaders and Outlet Managers
Build the month, see what each day needs and why, answer leave requests, override anything, and publish it.
District and Ops Managers
Open any outlet’s month in a popup, read published rosters in Lark, and lend staff between their outlets.
The crew on the roster
See their shifts once the month is published, and ask for leave or a day off from a card in the outlet’s Lark group.

How to use FOSS
A walk through a month, in the order a manager meets it. The recording at the top shows the first steps in the real app.
2
Pick An Outlet And A Month
One row per person, one column per day. The header carries the calendar — public holidays for the outlet’s state, school breaks, Ramadan and surge weeks.
3
Tap A Cell To Plot It
Tap an empty cell and FOSS answers for that person on that day: the best shift first, the runners-up behind it, each with its reason. Nothing is written until you press Use.
- Override — Type any time you like. A manager’s choice outranks the pattern and the engine.
- Refused — Only a breach of Malaysian employment law or a halal rule, and the refusal says which, in plain words.
- Borrow — Lend or borrow staff between outlets under the same District Manager.
4
Auto-Fill A Day, A Week Or The Month
Auto-fill fills every empty cell from the same rules, for the range you pick. Cells already filled are never touched. ABP chooses, company-wide, which of two engines does the filling.
5
Leave And Day-Off Requests
Crew ask from a card in the outlet’s Lark group. FOSS checks each request against the month before you answer, leave can be undone, and emergency leave opens a list of who can cover.
6
Ask The Assistant Which Day Needs Help
The Assistant opens on the day with the most to say — over target, a gap on the floor, a lone closer — and each finding carries the button that fixes it.
7
Publish
Publish sends the month to Lark, where district and ops managers read it, and to the outlet’s Google Sheet if one is linked. If you forget, it publishes itself ten minutes after your last edit.
Limits worth knowing
What FOSS is not
Written down because it is cheaper to read this now than to find it out in front of someone.
- It is not a clock-in or attendance system. It plans who should work; it does not record who did.
- It is not payroll. It estimates pay and labour cost for planning, but pays nobody.
- It is not an autopilot. Every shift is a suggestion until a person accepts it.
- It is not released to outlets yet. The installer exists; the pilot outlets have not been picked.

Data safety
What it does with data
Written so you could check each line rather than take it on trust. If one of them turns out to be wrong, that is a bug in the tool, not a wording problem here.
- Keeps the staff list and the roster in a database on the manager’s own laptop.
- Holds the staff details a lawful roster needs: employment dates, and Muslim and female flags for Friday prayers, halal cover and night shifts.
- Leave and day-off requests travel as Lark cards in the outlet’s group, with their type — including medical — and reason.
- Reads the outlet list from the MY UOD Lark Base, named fields only. Phone numbers, emails and registration numbers in that table never enter the app.
- Publishes the finished month to a Lark Base table, and to the outlet’s Google Sheet if a manager links one — it touches no other tab.
- Sign-in and updates go through ZUS’s own n8n, so no Lark secret sits on the laptop.
- The Assistant’s AI fix is optional and runs through the Claude Code already on that machine. When it is used, that day’s roster goes to Anthropic. FOSS itself holds no AI key.
Before you ask
Questions people actually send
When can my outlet have it?
No date yet. The installer is built and carries everything it needs; the pilot outlets have not been picked. Register interest and you will hear when it is ready.
Will it change a roster without asking?
No. It suggests; a person accepts. Auto-fill writes only into empty cells.
Who can see the roster?
Whoever the Lark Base is shared with, once it is published, plus anyone with the outlet’s Google Sheet if one is linked. Before it is published, only the laptop it was made on.
