For hospitality

Covers swing, someone calls in sick at 4pm, and you’re still expected to hit your labour line. RotaCubed fills the gaps fast, runs split shifts cleanly and keeps wage cost honest against takings — for cafés, restaurants, bars and hotels.

The hospitality reality
The stuff that eats your evening
You didn’t get into hospitality to chase shift cover on WhatsApp. Here’s what RotaCubed takes off your plate.
The 4pm call-off
Someone drops out before the rush and you’re texting the whole team hoping for a yes.
Split shifts done by hand
Lunch and dinner with a gap between — easy to plan, painful to pay correctly.
Labour line you find out too late
The wage percentage only lands when the month closes — when it’s already spent.
New starters every month
High churn means onboarding someone onto the rota has to take minutes, not a meeting.
Fill gaps fast
Open shifts pick themselves up
Post the gap as an open shift and everyone qualified gets a notification. The first to claim it locks it in — no group chat, no begging.

“Friday used to be a phone-in-one-hand job. Now the open shift goes out and it’s covered before I’ve finished prepping.”

Hospitality questions
Can staff swap shifts?
Yes. Staff request a swap from the app and you approve with one tap, or post an open shift and let anyone qualified pick it up. The rota updates for everyone instantly.
Does it handle split shifts?
Can I see labour cost against takings?
