The right mix on every shift
Someone who can close. Someone on the bar. A food hygiene certificate in the kitchen.
Ask for skills per shift. A certificate stops counting the day it expires.

The sick call before opening
Maria calls in sick at 6am. Her shift starts at seven.
Only her shift reopens. Best fit first, and why the others can’t.

Questions restaurant managers ask
Can it build the restaurant rota for me?
Yes. You set the shifts each day needs and the rules you work to. It fills the week, and you check it and publish.
Do my staff need to download an app?
No. They open a link on the phone they already have and sign in with a PIN. It saves to the home screen.
Does it connect to my till or POS?
No. Sales do not reach the rota. You say what each day needs, and change one date when a busy week is coming.
Can I see what next week will cost in wages?
Yes. Set your hourly rates and premiums for nights, Sundays and bank holidays. Every draft rota shows what it will cost before you publish.
How do shift swaps work?
Staff give away or trade a shift on their phone. It is only offered to people who are allowed to take it.
Is it free for a small café?
Yes, up to 15 staff with every feature. After that it is €0.50 a person a month.
