SnapRota is the scheduling app for cafes, restaurants, and small businesses that hate spreadsheets. $14/month. Unlimited staff. No per-head pricing.
No credit card required
Every Sunday night, the same routine. Open the spreadsheet. Figure out who can work when. Screenshot it. Post it to the WhatsApp group. Then the messages start — “I can’t do Tuesday”, “Can I swap with Sarah?”, “I didn’t see the update”. By Wednesday you’re short-staffed and stressed.
Drag-and-drop rota builder that works on your phone. Copy last week and adjust.
One tap and every staff member gets notified with their shifts. No more WhatsApp screenshots.
Shift swap requests handled in the app. You approve with one tap. The rota updates automatically.
