Pubs and bars
Rotas for pubs and bars, late finishes included
Quiet Tuesday afternoons, rammed Saturday nights and a bank holiday to plan around. RotaFox helps you staff each one properly without blowing the wage budget.
What it helps with
Shifts that finish after midnight
A 19:00 to 01:00 close is one shift on Saturday, not two half-shifts. Hours and costs come out right, even on the night the clocks change.
Peaks you can see coming
Match staffing to your busiest sessions, then check the week against your budget before you publish. Override the budget for a match day or festival weekend.
Cover when someone drops out
Leave a shift open, or approve a swap your team arranges between themselves. Everyone sees the change once you publish.
Example: a two-bar pub on a weekly budget
Set a recurring weekly budget for the venue and separate ones for Bar and Kitchen if you like. As you build Friday and Saturday, the budget bar shows what’s left.
If the weekend pushes you over 90%, you’ll see an amber warning before anyone’s been told their hours.
Features pubs and bars use most
- Rota schedulingPlan shifts for each venue, see clashes before they become problems, and publish when you’re happy.
- Swaps and open shiftsWhen someone can’t work a shift, they offer it to a colleague who’s free.
- Labour costs and budgetsSet a weekly or monthly wage budget and watch the rota measure up as you build it.
- Reports and insightsReports turn your rotas, clocking in and approvals into the figures you need: hours and wages against the plan, who was late or left early, holiday taken and whether payroll is ready.
Your next rota could be the easiest one yet.
Less admin. Better control over wages. A happier team. That’s the RotaFox way.
