What is Starbucks Teamworks?

Teamworks is Starbucks’ primary scheduling and team communication platform. It allows partners to view their work schedule, request time off, swap shifts, pick up open shifts, and communicate with managers and team members in real time.

In 2026, most partners access Teamworks features through the mobile app (often called Partner Hours / WorkJam) or directly via the Partner Hub.

How to Access Teamworks App

Download & Login Steps

  1. Download the Partner Hours or WorkJam app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (most stores use this in 2026).
  2. Open the app and log in with your Partner Number (or Global Username) and password.
  3. Complete any two-factor authentication if prompted.
  4. You will see your schedule on the home screen.

Tip: If you have trouble logging in, use the Partner Hub first or contact your Store Manager. Some licensed stores may still use the older Teamworks system through Intelligent Hub.
