How it works

Three steps from chaos
to covered.

No spreadsheets. No group texts. No Sunday night stress.

01
👥

Build your team

Add employees with their availability, role, and weekly hour limits. Takes about 2 minutes per person.

02
✦

Generate instantly

Hit Auto-Generate and ShyftRota fills the entire week — respecting availability and skipping anyone on approved PTO.

03
✎

Adjust & go

Click any cell to change a shift. Conflicts flag instantly. Past weeks lock automatically as a permanent record.

Features

Everything the schedule
demands. Nothing extra.

Built from real experience on the floor — not a product roadmap in a boardroom.

✦

AI Schedule Generation

One tap fills the entire week around your team's availability, max hours, and approved time off. Employees on PTO are skipped automatically. Adjust any cell manually — the AI is a starting point, not a mandate.

🕐

Time Clock + Payroll Export

Employees clock in and out from the app. Admins see live who's on the floor. Export a Paychex, ADP, or Gusto-ready CSV with one tap — including lunch breaks.

🔄

Shift Swaps & Open Shifts

Employees request swaps and see each other's shifts before submitting. Admins post open shifts and see exactly who's free to fill them.

🏖

PTO Management

Full date-range picker for time-off requests. Approved PTO automatically blocks scheduling — no double-booking.

🏢

Departments & Cross-Team View

Organize staff into departments. Link teams that work together — Front Desk and Housekeeping can see each other's daily rosters in a clean, restricted view.

💬

Direct Messages + Team Chat

Built-in group channel and 1-on-1 direct messages between any two people. No sharing personal numbers. Unread badges so nothing gets missed. Managers reach anyone instantly.

📞

Call-In Notices

Employees notify you of absences, late arrivals, or early departures right in the app. No more frantic texts at 6am.

🔒

Schedule History

Past weeks lock automatically as permanent, read-only records. Navigate back any week and see exactly what was scheduled.

Pricing

Flat pricing. No surprises.
No per-seat math.

One price covers your whole team. Cancel any time.

FAQ

Answers to the obvious questions.

Yes. Hit Auto-Generate and ShyftRota fills the entire week based on each employee's availability and max weekly hours. It skips employees with approved PTO automatically. You can edit any cell — the AI gives you a solid starting point and you make the final call.
Employees clock in and out from their app. The Time Clock tab shows live who's on the floor and for how long. Hit "Export for Paychex" (or your provider) and it downloads a CSV formatted for manual upload — clock-in, clock-out, lunch breaks subtracted, total hours worked.
Admins have a full override panel. Add a missing punch with a custom date and time, force clock out someone who forgot, or edit and delete any punch. Every admin change is tagged so there's always a clear audit trail.
Yes. The Messages tab has a group channel (#team-general) and 1-on-1 direct messages between any two people. No one needs to share personal phone numbers. Unread badges show up so nothing gets missed.
Past weeks lock automatically as permanent read-only records. Use the week navigation to go back as far as you need. Nothing gets overwritten — it's always there exactly as it was published.
The Starter plan is free forever for up to 10 employees — no credit card. Pro and Enterprise come with a 14-day free trial. If you want to see it live first, book a demo and we'll walk through it together.
