Paper rotas, WhatsApp chaos, or software built for chains
Most small pubs are stuck with a rota that gets lost, a group chat no one reads, or scheduling software built for big hospitality and retail estates — priced per head and packed with features a one-pub team will never touch. RotaPulse does the job a pub actually needs, and only that.

Everything a pub rota needs — nothing it doesn’t
A week-grid anyone can read
Plan the week at a glance — staff down the side, days across the top. Add a shift in a tap; a bed icon for days off, a palm tree for leave.
Your team, on their phones
Staff log in to see their shifts, request leave and ask for swaps — so the questions stop landing on you behind the bar.
Fill gaps fast
Post an open shift and text the right staff; first to tap gets it. No ringing round on a Friday afternoon.
Watch the wage bill live
See staff cost per day and per week against your turnover target, updating as you roster. Know your labour % before payday, not after.
Holiday days, no headache
A simple record of days taken per person, resetting from your own year start. No payroll or entitlement maths.
Roster for the busy nights
Tag match days and events on the grid so you staff up when it matters and trim back when it’s quiet.
Simple, flat pricing
Every tier includes SMS alerts and starts with a full 30-day free trial. Most landlords save more than the subscription in the first week of tidier shifts and a clearer wage bill.
“We used to run the rota on paper and chase people over WhatsApp. Now the week takes ten minutes and the staff sort their own swaps on their phones.”
Questions landlords ask
Do I need to install anything? +
No. RotaPulse runs in any web browser on your phone, tablet or computer — nothing to download or update.
Can staff see their shifts on their phones? +
Yes. Each staff member logs in to see their own rota, request leave and ask for a shift swap. You approve swaps.
Is my staff and pay data safe? +
Your data is yours, kept private to your venue and never shared. Pay rates are visible only to admins. See our Privacy page for the plain-English detail.
How does the free trial work? +
You get full access free for 30 days. You add a card to start the trial, then simply continue on the tier that matches your team size — or cancel any time before the trial ends.
What if I run more than one pub? +
RotaPulse works great per venue today. If you run several, get in touch and we’ll sort you out.
