So many parts in a service! How to keep track of who is doing what.
Many congregations, chavurot and minyanim rely heavily on volunteer coordinators: Torah-reading coodinators, kiddish coordinators, haftarah coordinators, davnnen coordinators, and more. The amount of phone calls, emails, back-and-forth that goes on to get everything done can be a real burden. Shabbat People is being created to lighten that burden.
It doesn't replace the coordinators, but it makes their job a lot easier. In addition the volunteers performing these roles can easily keep track of their own assignments by simply logging in, thus relieving the inevitable stress that comes from busy volunteers juggling busy lives.
