The rota that does itself
Your rota,
done in seconds.
Press Generate and Rotara builds the whole week: your rules kept, shifts shared out fairly, cover found when someone’s off sick. The hours you spent on it are yours again.
No card needed. From £30 a month per venue, every member of staff included.
Before and after
Hours every week.
Now it’s seconds.
Same venue, same team, same rules. The only difference is who does the work.
Before Rotara
3–5 hours
on the rota, every week
That’s 13 to 22 hours a month of a manager’s time. At £15 an hour, £195 to £325.
- Sunday night lost to a spreadsheet
- Ringing round when someone calls in sick
- Chasing who's free over WhatsApp
- The same people stuck with every weekend
- Rules that only live in your head
- Swaps agreed by text, and nobody sure who's on

What it can do
Everything the rota touches.
All in one place.
From the first draft to the 4pm sick call, and a staff app that looks like your own.
Built in seconds
The whole week, around availability, skills, contracts and who works well together.
Call in sick from the app
Staff pick the days they're ill. Rotara asks the right people to cover and tells you when it's sorted.
A fair share for everyone
Late and weekend shifts are spread out, so it's not always the same people closing.
Your icon on their home screen
When staff add the app to their phone, it's your logo and your venue's name they tap.
Swaps and give-aways
Staff trade shifts between themselves. You approve with a tap.
Clock in on the bar tablet
Staff clock in and out on one tablet, and timesheets build themselves.
From spreadsheet to service
Up and running.
In an afternoon.
Start with the rota you already have. After that, every week takes seconds.
- 01
Bring your old rota
Drop in last month's spreadsheet (Excel, CSV or XML). Rotara picks out your team, roles, hours and patterns.
- 02
Tell it how you work
Plain English is fine: “two on the bar on Fridays”, “Maisie can't do closes”. It turns that into rules it keeps.
- 03
Press Generate
Seconds later, the whole week is done. Check it day by day with the reasons shown, then publish. Staff get it on their phones.
