Stay staffed for the rush: shift management for food and beverage
Short answer
ROTA is a cloud-based platform that brings shift scheduling and clock-in tracking together for restaurants and cafés. Managers build and publish the weekly schedule around peak hours, while staff clock in and out from the mobile app. Staffing gaps surface before service starts, and clock-in records are reviewed on one screen with location data.
Last updated:
Build and publish weekly shifts around your restaurant or café’s service hours; review overlaps and unassigned shifts before publishing. Compare your team’s clock-in and clock-out records at the branch with planned shifts in timesheets.

The biggest challenges in this sector
Shift conflicts and last-minute changes
On WhatsApp and paper schedules it is hard to tell who works when, and a single no-show can derail the whole service.
No-shows and late arrivals
You often notice a staffing gap only once the rush has already started.
Manual timesheet tracking
Adding up worked hours in a spreadsheet takes time and makes it harder to compare shifts with attendance records.
