Next week’s schedule, drafted for you.
Workrota builds a draft week from your team’s availability and your coverage needs. You review it, adjust what you want, and publish — and everyone is told.
- Respects availability and approved time off
- Saved shift presets and templates
- Projected labor cost shown as you build
Staff trade shifts. You approve in a tap.
A dropped shift shows up as open, right on the schedule, so a teammate can pick it up. Pickups and swaps go through your one-tap approval by default — and if you’d rather skip that step, we can switch your bar to auto-approve.
- Drop and pick up shifts from the day view
- One-tap approvals for managers
- Everyone involved is notified
Know your labor before the week starts.
See projected hours and cost by day, your average rate, and who is heading toward overtime. Export it to CSV when your bookkeeper asks. Pay stays private: only the people you choose can see rates.
- Hours and projected cost by day and week, with a four-week view
- Overtime watch while you schedule
- CSV export, plus an optional time clock and timesheets
Everyone says when they can work.
Team members set when they’re not available, and ask for a day — or a whole stretch — off. Managers see conflicts and blackout dates before they approve, and the AI draft respects availability and approved time off.
- Weekly availability, with notes
- Time-off requests for a day or a range
- Blackout dates managers can see and enforce
Reach people where they actually are.
Push, email and text messages — and each person chooses what they want. Schedules posted, shifts changed, open shifts, approvals: the right people hear about it, without a group text. Texts are included in every plan.
- Push, email and text, per person
- Quiet by default: one alert per conversation
- Texting is opt-in and included
