A full week, drafted for you
Tell Rotaleaf your opening hours and how many hands you need for the morning rush. It drafts the week around everyone's availability, contracted hours and who's trained to open up.
The rota's done. Go home.
Rotaleaf builds next week's staff rota in about a minute, around who's free, who can open up and what you can afford.

Saturday sortedMaya asked for the day off, so Priya opens. She has the keys and is still under her hours.
The three jobs that eat your Sunday night.
Shift swaps out of the group chat
Someone can't make Tuesday? They ask from their phone, Rotaleaf offers the shift to whoever's free and qualified, and you approve it with one tap.
Wages you can see coming
Watch the wage bill against your budget as the rota changes. Overtime and missed rest breaks get flagged before the week starts, not after payday.
“I used to do the rota at my kitchen table every Sunday. Now it's finished before my coffee's gone cold.”

Questions managers ask us.
Do my staff need to install anything?
No. They get a link by text message, open their shifts in the browser on any phone, and can add it to their home screen if they like. No passwords to forget.
What happens when someone calls in sick?
Mark the shift as open and Rotaleaf messages everyone who's free and trained for it. The first person to accept gets the shift, and the rota updates for the whole team.
Can it handle contracted hours and rest breaks?
Yes. Add each person's contracted hours and the break rules you work to. Rotaleaf builds around them and warns you if a change you make by hand breaks one.
I have a spreadsheet already. Is moving over a pain?
Paste your staff list in, set your opening hours, and your first draft is ready in a few minutes. Most managers keep the spreadsheet open for a week, then stop.
Does Rotaleaf run payroll?
No, and it doesn't try to. The Parade plan exports worked hours as a spreadsheet that your payroll provider or accountant can use.
Can I cancel whenever I like?
Yes. Plans run month to month, with nothing to sign. If you cancel, you move down to Corner and keep your rotas.
