Hospitality Rota Software and App

Rotas for hotels, bars, cafés, and restaurants

Good service depends on having the right people on at the right time: the breakfast rush, a busy Friday night behind the bar, the hotel desk at check-in.

Why hospitality rotas are hard

Staffing changes with bookings, events and the weather. Many staff are part-time, and many teams work across more than one venue. One late change can leave a shift short.

Spreadsheets, paper rotas and group chats make those changes slow to share and easy to miss, and it is hard to see who is free.

How Rotaville helps

Rotaville is online rota software for hospitality teams. Build shift patterns, assign staff, and see availability and holidays before you do, for one venue or several. When plans change, edit the rota and the affected staff are notified right away.

Rotaville has been a breath of fresh air, simple and easy to use for everyone.

Filling the extra shifts

Before you assign an open shift, staff can mark it as one they would be willing, or reluctant, to work. You see their shift interest next to their name as you assign, so the extra Saturday goes to someone who wants it.

Part-time staff mark when they can and can't work in availability, and you see it as you build the rota. Staff can ask for cover in team chat, and you make the change on the rota.

One venue or several

Give each venue, or each area such as the kitchen, the bar and front of house, its own rota, and plan them together or one at a time. Staff who work in more than one place can be put on shifts in each.

Common questions

Can I give someone a split shift?

Yes. Put them on two shifts on the same day, for example lunch and dinner service.

Can late shifts run past midnight?

Yes. Set your rota hours to finish the next day, and late shifts can run over midnight.

What about seasonal staff?

Add them as employees for the season, then deactivate them afterwards. They stop counting towards your plan, and their shifts stay on the rota for your records.

Can I print the rota for the kitchen wall?

Yes. Print it as a PDF on A4, A3, Letter or Tabloid paper, in colour or black and white, with each person's photo.

We have found Rotaville super easy to use, and improved our rota communication with staff. The Availabilities function has made creating the roster a breeze.
