## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.13 — 2026-08-28

Rotaready 2.0.13 — the complete workforce management platform.

We've rebuilt Rotaready from a shift scheduler into a full operations platform for hospitality and multi-site businesses. Here's everything that's new:


Rotaready is the all-in-one workforce management platform for hospitality, retail, and multi-site businesses. From shift scheduling to payroll, compliance to team communication — Rotaready replaces the spreadsheets, paper checklists, and group chats that slow your operation down.

SCHEDULING & ROTA
Build weekly rotas in minutes. The auto-scheduler reads staff availability and role rules to draft assignments you can accept individually or all at once. Use the bulk shift builder to template a full week across multiple sites. Broadcast open shifts to eligible staff and let them claim or auto-assign based on your rules. Staff can request shift swaps with full approval workflow and push notifications.

Track weekly hours against contract with colour-coded progress bars — green, amber, and red — so you catch over-time before it happens.

TIME & PAY
See your labour cost in real time. The live wage ticker shows pounds-per-second burn, hourly rate, and daily pace projection. The labour cost dashboard breaks down wage percentage against forecast revenue by day and by site.

Export payroll to CSV, Xero, or Sage 50 with automatic 12.07% holiday accrual. Log daily tips and split them by hours worked automatically. Run UK Working Time Regulations break compliance audits with per-shift compliant, at-risk, and breach scoring.

COMPLIANCE & OPERATIONS
Stay audit-ready with built-in compliance logging:

    HACCP food safety checks (fridge, freezer, cooking, hot hold, cooling, cleaning) with pass/fail and sign-off
    Equipment fault reporting with priority levels and resolution tracking
    Incident filing with severity tags and status pipeline
    Opening/closing checklists with task toggles and progress bars
    Shift handover notes with priority levels and acknowledgements
    Appliance temperature monitoring with min/max range alerts
    Stocktaking with stock locations, items, movements, transfers, and reorder alerts

PEOPLE & HR
Manage your team end to end. The HR suite includes a public careers page, applicant tracking with a Kanban pipeline, interview scheduling with calendar export, and a guided onboarding flow. Recognise great work with peer kudos and a leaderboard. Check in on staff wellbeing with anonymous mood scores and weekly trend analytics.

Store policies, certificates, and forms in the document library with expiry tracking. Manage supplier relationships with purchase orders, invoices, and VAT period tracking.

COMMUNICATION
In-app messaging with real-time sync between mobile and web. Broadcast announcements to your whole team. Push notifications keep everyone informed about new shifts, swap requests, and messages — no one misses a beat.

WEB CONSOLE
A full web admin console is available at rotaready.app. Owners and admins can manage everything from a browser — scheduling, compliance, payroll, HR, stocktaking, and more — with real-time sync to the mobile app.

PRICING
Rotaready offers three subscription tiers:

    Starter — for single-site businesses getting started
    Pro — for growing multi-site teams that need compliance and payroll tools
    Enterprise — for large operations with advanced HR, stocktaking, and supplier management

Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually via Stripe and can be managed from the Owner Console.
