Everything included
Everything the rota touches.
All in one place.
From the first draft to the 4pm sick call. Every plan includes the rota, the staff app, sickness cover and chat.
The rota
Built for you in seconds, and right first time.
Built in seconds
The whole week, around availability, skills, contracts and who works well together.
Your rules kept
Rest between shifts, under-18 limits, a licence holder on, and keyholders to open and close. UK law is the starting point.
A fair share for everyone
Late and weekend shifts are spread out, so it's not always the same people closing.
Contracted hours, hit
Everyone gets the hours they're due. Over one week? It comes off the next.
A reason for every shift
A day-by-day walkthrough shows why each shift went to each person.
Wage cost up front
See what the week costs before you publish it.
Bring your old rota
Drop in last month's spreadsheet and Rotara picks out your team, roles and patterns.
Rules in plain EnglishPub plan and up
Type “Maisie can't do closes” and it becomes a rule Rotara keeps.
Busy days planned forPub plan and up
Bank holidays, events, weather and bookings bring more hands on deck.
On your team's phones
Nothing to download. Just a link.
Call in sick from the app
Staff pick the days they're ill. Rotara asks the right people to cover and tells you when it's sorted.
Availability, filled in for you
Staff say when they can work on their phone, and every rota follows it.
Swaps and give-aways
Staff trade shifts between themselves. You approve with a tap.
Spare shifts picked up
Post an open shift and whoever wants the hours can take it.
Holiday and time off
Asked for in the app, and the rota works around it.
Told the moment it changes
A notification when the rota's out and whenever one of their shifts moves.
Shifts in Google Calendar
Every shift lands in their own calendar and stays up to date.
Join in a minute
A link in their welcome email, or the QR poster in the staff room.
Looks like your own app
Your name, your logo and your colours. Your team sees your place, not ours.
Your logo, everywherePub plan and up
In the staff app, on sign-in pages, the join poster, printed rotas and the bar tablet.
Made for light and darkPub plan and up
Upload a version for dark mode, or flip your logo's colours so it reads on either.
Your icon on their home screenPub plan and up
When staff add the app to their phone, it's your logo and your venue's name they tap.
Your coloursPub plan and up
Pick an accent colour and every button, link and highlight follows it, for you and your team.
Only what you use
No clock-in, or no sick button? Switch them off and they're gone from the staff app.
Keeping everyone talking
No more lost WhatsApp threads.
