The problem

Your scheduler hasn't
changed since 2008.

Schedulefly. When I Work. The same broken patterns. Manual schedule building. No mobile app. No AI. Painful shift swaps. Your staff hates it. You hate it. But you're stuck with it.

6 hrs

Average time spent building a weekly schedule manually

23%

14%

What's different

Built for the way
hospitality actually works.

Modern, fast, and obsessed with the details no one else gets right.

Powered by Claude

AI builds your schedule.

One click. WorkRota reads everyone's availability, time-off requests, and qualifications. Generates a complete week in 60 seconds. You review and publish.

  • Respects every preference
  • Distributes hours fairly
  • Explains every conflict in plain English
🔄Staff-led

Shift swaps without the chaos.

Staff post shifts they can't work. Other staff claim them. Managers approve in one tap. The whole loop happens in the app — no group texts, no missed messages.

  • Real-time pickup marketplace
  • Manager veto power
  • Audit trail of every change
📱Mobile-first

An app your staff will use.

Your team isn't sitting at a desktop. They're on the bus, between classes, on a break. WorkRota is built mobile-first — fast, simple, and gorgeous on every screen.

  • Native iOS and Android apps coming
  • Push notifications for shifts and swaps
  • Set availability in 30 seconds
💬Built-in

Stop the group text spiral.

Every location has a wall. Announcements, schedule changes, kitchen updates — all in one place. No more lost messages buried in 47 text threads.

  • Real-time location wall
  • Direct messages (coming soon)
  • Read receipts and acknowledgments
