Deli/bakery scheduling help

So our dept is still an unholy mess….from lack of workers to workers just not giving a fuck to poor scheduling thanks to prime time……any one in a combo deli bakery willing to give an average schedule because what ours is isn’t working to get processes done and we are just digging deeper…so I don’t know if it’s store specific or what. Example (depending on hours allowed of course) Baker 5am-130 Manager/assistant 6-230 Chicken person 10-630 (if we are lucky hr likes to push chicken person around a lot) Closer 1230-9 Closer anywhere from 1230-9 to only 5-9 depending on hours Note this is the “ideal” schedule if we actually have the hours most of the time it’s not, and we don’t have the am and pm overlapping much. If lucky a cake decorator somewhere in the middle again if hours allow.
We struggle with getting chicken done ontime what with chicken person not coming in until first round of chicken (whole chickens) are expected out of the oven) so they spend time packaging it before getting to actually start frying. During this time baker is trying to bake, help put out product and help markdowns, while manger is trying to also get markdowns done, somehow fill fsgng, salad case, backstock scans (all 3) and orders. Then it’s time to get trucks which have been insanely large due to add outs (90% of it isn’t ordered by us or cao it seems anymore just adds)….so inevitably something isn’t getting done like cookies which they have a fucking fit over. But somehow you have to have cookies baked and be on counter, then thaw and sell somehow has to get pulled but rarely put out. If lucky we get out the next morning but we’ve had it sitting for days before we even get it dated to put out just sitting there losing shelf life. Everything just takes to damn long to accomplish especially when you stone every two seconds to wait on the counter (rare we have a dedicated counter person)……is this just the best we can do? Some of it for sure is specific staff no one should take 6hrs to do a deli truck when they don’t even have to stop and wait the counter…but even when it’s not them and no truck it just feels like spinning our wheels constantly…now upper management is getting involved and really though they help it’s also just making it worse at the same time, what they bitch about seeing not happening or happing while in the dept they dont seem to do anything about (ie staff just doing nothing while clearly lots still to do) Help!
