Common questions
The things operators ask before switching.
How is Workrota different from other scheduling apps?
Workrota is built for hospitality teams who live on their phones. It drafts a week from your team's availability and your coverage needs in under a minute, and you review and adjust it before you publish. Shift drops, pickups, and swaps go through approval notifications instead of group texts. Managers and staff use the same app, on a phone or a computer.
Can my staff trade shifts without me approving every one?
By default, every pickup and swap waits for a manager's one-tap confirm or decline, and the people involved are told the result. If you'd rather skip the approval step, we can switch your bar to auto-approve — just ask.
Does Workrota work for bars, breweries, and pubs — not just restaurants?
Yes. Workrota is purpose-built for hospitality, which includes bars, breweries, taprooms, pubs, cocktail lounges, coffee shops, food trucks, and full-service restaurants. The role system is custom (bartender, barback, line cook, dishwasher, host, etc.) and the schedule view is built around shift roles, not employee types.
How much does Workrota cost?
Workrota is free for your first 30 days, no credit card required. After the trial, pricing is per workspace, not per person: Standard is $34.99 a month ($339 a year) for teams of up to 50, and Large is $39.99 a month ($409 a year) for teams of more than 50. Everything is included in both plans — scheduling, shift swaps, notifications and texting. Prices are before any sales tax.
Can I bring my team over from my current scheduling tool?
Yes. Send us whatever your current tool exports — a CSV, an Excel sheet, even a messy payroll list — and we'll import your roster for you, roles and hourly rates included.
Does Workrota handle special events, like sports nights or live music?
Yes. Workrota auto-imports MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL games for the teams you track, and lets you create event-linked specials (e.g. "$5 nachos when the Cubs play at home"). The AI scheduler factors events into staffing suggestions.
Will my team need to download an app?
There's a free Workrota app on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Or use the web app, which installs to any home screen in one tap. Your team picks whatever they're comfortable with.
What happens to our data if we leave?
It's yours. You can export labor and hours reports to CSV from the Labor page whenever you like, and if you leave, email support@workrota.app and we'll send you your roster and schedule history. We'd rather earn your renewal than lock your data in.
How long does setup take?
Setup is fast: create your account, add your staff, set your roles, and let the AI build the week — you can publish your first schedule in minutes. Invite your team by email.
