Shift and attendance management for restaurants and cafés
Service demand shifts hour to hour, and being over- or understaffed affects both cost and guest experience. Plan and publish shifts with ROTA, then review clock-in and clock-out records in one place.
The biggest challenges in this sector
Shift conflicts and last-minute changes
On WhatsApp and paper rotas 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.
