Restaurants
Front of house and kitchen, on one rota
Lunch and dinner services, a kitchen that needs its own cover, and labour that has to stay in step with covers. RotaFox keeps it all on one page.


What it helps with
Departments with their own budgets
Split the rota into Front of house, Kitchen and Bar. Give each its own budget and see which one is running hot.
Labour against sales
Enter your sales forecast and actual takings. RotaFox shows labour as a percentage of sales and sales per labour hour.
Split shifts and breaks
Plan a lunch and a dinner shift for the same person on the same day. Breaks follow your rule automatically.
Example: checking labour % before the week starts
Enter next week’s forecast sales. As you add shifts, the Budgets screen shows planned labour as a share of that forecast.
At the end of the week, approved timesheets show what was actually worked, so you can compare the two.

Your next rota could be the easiest one yet.
Less admin. Better control over wages. A happier team. That’s the RotaFox way.
