Rostering built for hospitality

Next week's roster is done before your coffee cools.

Drag shifts onto the week. Rostru fills them with the people who are actually available, tells your team, and checks everyone in with a geofence. No spreadsheets, no group chat, no guessing who said they could work Friday.

No card. Two venues free while you try it.

You're at Cafe Sol and your shift starts at 4pm. Clock on?

Three drags and a week is covered.

1

Drag to build

Drop a role on a day, pull the edges to the hours you want, drag it to another day. Snapping to 15 minutes, stacking when shifts overlap, undo on every move.

2

Fill by availability

The right people, ranked by fit and hours so far. Anyone who can’t work it is shown with the reason — on leave, unavailable after 8pm, would pass 38 hours.

3

Publish and forget

One tap tells the team. Changes only notify the people affected. Leave, swaps and open shifts come back to one inbox.

Auto-fill

It already knows who can work it.

Staff paint their availability in the app. Rostru ranks the people who fit each shift — right role, right venue, free that night, not on leave, not double-booked, still under their hours — and fills the week in one click. Everyone else is listed with the reason, in plain words.

Geofenced clock-on

On the floor, or it doesn't count.

Each venue gets a fence you set on a map. Half an hour before a shift, the phone starts watching. Walk in and it asks once: clock on? The server re-checks the GPS with its own clock, so the time on the timesheet is the time they were there.

  • A radius you draw, per venue, from 60 to 300 metres.
  • Asked once on the way in, once on the way out.
  • A manual button that only works inside the fence.
  • Anything outside your tolerance waits for a manager.

Approve the exceptions, not the week.

Anything inside your tolerance is signed off in one tap. Only the late starts, early finishes and no-shows come to you — with both times side by side, so you can approve what was rostered or what was actually worked. Then export the lot as a timesheet CSV.

Everything else you'd otherwise chase.

Copy a week, paste it forward

With people or without. Anyone unavailable in the new week is skipped and flagged, not silently rostered.

Open shifts

Drag an unfilled shift into the pool and every eligible person is offered it. First to accept takes it.

Labour cost as you build

Per shift, per day, per week — at each person’s own rate for the role they’re doing.

Overnight and breaks

A 6pm–2am close is one shift, not two. Unpaid breaks come out of paid hours automatically.

Warnings, not blockers

Overlaps, under 10 hours between shifts, over 38 a week, short shifts. You decide what to do.

Leave and swaps

Requested in the app, approved in one inbox, reflected on the roster the moment you say yes.

Timesheet export

Approved hours out as CSV with columns your bookkeeper can drop into Xero or MYOB.

Desktop and mobile

One web app that installs on Windows and Mac, plus iOS and Android for the team.

Priced by how many people you roster.

The trial runs 30 days on any plan and ends by itself — we ask for a card only when you decide to stay. Employees means people you roster in a month; managers and owners are free. Move up or down a plan whenever your team changes and we only charge the difference.

Put next Monday together tonight.

Free for 30 days, two venues, every feature. Import your people from a spreadsheet and roster your first week in an evening.
