RosterRocket helps managers build fair staff rosters when everyone works different shift patterns. Plan mornings, evenings, nights, weekends, rotating duties, leave, and availability in one place. Instead of wrestling with spreadsheets or rewriting the same rota every week, you can build a clear roster, publish it to your team, and track who has acknowledged it. Built for small teams where scheduling is personal: clinics, cafes, salons, security teams, hospitality, operations, care homes, and duty-based workplaces. WHY MANAGERS USE ROSTERROCKET Mixed shift patterns Handle full-time, part-time, fixed days, rotating shifts, weekend cover, and custom duty patterns. Fairer rota planning See who is working what, balance duties, and avoid accidentally giving the same person the unpopular shifts. Fast roster publishing Create the roster, share it with staff, and keep everyone working from the same version. Staff acknowledgments Track who has seen the roster so you are not chasing people across WhatsApp, email, or group messages. Designed for real managers RosterRocket is built around the person who actually has to make the roster, change it, publish it, and answer the questions afterwards. IDEAL FOR Clinics Dental centers Restaurants and cafes Salons Security teams Hospitality teams Care homes Duty-based teams Small operations teams PRICING RosterRocket is free for staff to view rosters. Managers can use RosterRocket Pro to publish and manage team rosters with unlimited access.
