Everything you need to run the rota
From building the weekly schedule to exporting hours to payroll, AutaRota covers the whole shift lifecycle.
Drag-and-drop rota builder
Build and edit weekly rotas in minutes. Overtime is flagged as you go, and approved leave too on Professional with Holiday Management.
AI-assisted scheduling
Generate a full week of shift slots in one click, then drag your team in instead of starting from a blank rota.
Holiday and leave management
Staff submit leave requests, managers approve or decline in a click, and everyone gets an email confirmation.
Role and permission management
Control who can edit rotas, approve leave, and manage staff with fine-grained, role-based permissions.
Mobile app for every shift
Staff see their rota on their phone, wherever they are.
Payroll and booking integrations
Connect AutaRota to Xero, OpenTable and SevenRooms.
Demand forecasting
Forecast expected covers so you can staff the right number of people for every shift.
Live labour cost tracking
See labour costs and hours worked for every rota as you build it, alongside your labour cost target.
Build it on the big screen, publish it to every phone
The rota builder gives managers a full weekly view with drag-and-drop shifts. Once published, staff can see their week on the AutaRota app.
