How it works

Three things, in this order.

Small on purpose. No modules to enable, no integrations to wire up, no implementation call.

01 / Import

Bring your team.

Paste from a spreadsheet, import from Xero or Deputy, or add five names by hand. Rosie keeps your contracts, hours, and certs in one place.

Inside Rosie

The roster grid is the app.

A week, a fortnight, or a month — fits on one screen. Drag, drop, snap to template. Every other tool buries this. We made it the front door.

Schedule

Drag, drop, publish.

A roster grid that respects your time. No nested menus, no hovers that hide things, no “advanced view.”

  • 40 staff, 14 days, one screenThree density modes fit a fortnight on a laptop. No horizontal scrolling.
  • Conflicts surface inlineRest, double-bookings, expired certs — flagged before publish, never after.
  • Templates that travelDrag any week onto another. Save patterns. Reuse forever.
  • Keyboard-firstEverything has a shortcut. Build a roster without lifting your hands.
Schedule viewDark mode shown · light mode available
Dashboard

Numbers that matter, where they happen.

A dashboard that fits on one page, tells you what’s actually wrong, and gets out of your way.

  • Five numbers to check before serviceHours, cost, compliance, gaps, overtime. That’s it.
  • Plain-English issues“Wednesday afternoon is short by one barista.” Not a chart.
  • This week / next weekOne toggle. No date pickers, no calendar dread.
  • Live cost as you dragWage forecast updates as you build. Budget warnings before publish.
DashboardThis week — quiet. No issues found.
Mobile

On the floor, in their pocket.

A staff app that fits on a lock screen. They see the week. They accept. They swap. You stay out of group chats.

  • Native iOS & Android — or skip the installNative apps on the App Store and Google Play. Or use the PWA in any browser — no download, no forgotten password.

The case for change

What Sunday night is actually costing you.

It’s 9:47pm on a Sunday. The dishwasher has been running for an hour. Bob has texted to say his sister’s wedding is on Saturday — yes, this Saturday. Alice can’t open Tuesday because of a dentist she forgot to mention. The roster is twenty-seven percent full and you have not yet looked at hours.

You do this every week. Every week. Some weeks twice — because someone accepts a shift on Tuesday morning and quietly backs out Friday night, and the whole thing has to come apart and go back together while service is on.

“The spreadsheet is the worst meeting of the week, and you’re the only one in it.”— Pippa Yazdani, Hash Specialty Coffee

Rosie is the smallest possible answer. A rostering tool that builds the schedule for you, sends it to staff, lets them swap, and shows you the cost before you publish. Browser, phone, iPad. Roughly the price of a flat white per person, per month.

You could keep doing it the way you do it. Most people do. But there’s a Sunday night where the kitchen closes and you go home — and the roster’s already done.

From a Rosie operator
“We used to do the roster on Sundays after dinner. Now we don’t do it at all. Rosie sends it Friday at four. Saturday morning the staff already know.”

Also included

Eight more, briefly.

All the small things you used to need a second tool for.

Time clock

Phone clock-in on every plan. iPad kiosk with PIN, photo, and geofence on Group.

Timesheet approval

Bulk approve, fix outliers, export CSV for payroll. Fifteen minutes a fortnight.

Leave & availability

Staff request, you approve. Feeds straight into next week’s auto-fill.

Compliance

Rest, max consecutive, cert expiry — flagged before publish. Break compliance on Group.

Cost tracking

Live wage cost as you drag. Budget warnings before publish. POS reconciliation shipping Q2.

Multi-site

One staff, multiple venues, shared availability. Hours count across sites.

Payroll exports

Xero & MYOB live. Employment Hero, QuickBooks & more shipping Q2.

SMS & email

Email reminders on every plan. SMS notifications (publish, offers, swaps) on Group.

The honest part

What Rosie isn’t.

Software with the smallest possible scope is software that stays sharp. Here’s everything we’ve decided notto be — and what we’d point you at instead.

Not a payroll system
We export. We don’t pay.
Hours, breaks and rates flow into Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, or your CSV of choice. Your existing payroll provider already does payroll well — we won’t get between you.
Not an award interpreter
We track hours and basic penalties. We don’t lawyer.
If you need full Australian award interpretation, run it through Tanda or KeyPay on the way to payroll. Rosie hands them a clean timesheet.
Not a POS
We connect to yours. We don’t replace it.
Square, Lightspeed, Toast, Kounta — Rosie reads sales for labour-cost forecasting, then gets out of the way. Your POS keeps doing its job.
Not a hiring tool
We schedule the team you have.
Job ads, applicant tracking, onboarding paperwork — we don’t do any of it. Most operators we know use a Google Doc; that’s fine.
Not a chat platform
We send shifts to where staff already are.
SMS for the schedule, Slack for ops, WhatsApp for the group chat. We won’t make your team install another inbox they ignore.
Not an HR system
No reviews, no docs, no pulse surveys.
Performance reviews, contracts, and policy libraries belong in BambooHR or Employment Hero. We hold the schedule and the hours, and only that.
Not a shift marketplace
Your team. Their swaps. No outside gig workers.
We don’t fill empty shifts with strangers. Hospitality is a relationship business — your floor, your culture, your staff.
Not an AI agent that does it all
A constraint solver. Not a chatbot.
Rosie does one thing: builds the schedule, deterministically, in seconds. You can see exactly what it chose and why. No vibes-based output.
One product.No platform play, no AI everything, no unlimited modules. We’d rather be the best at the rostering than mediocre at fourteen things.

Questions

The questions, asked back.

How long does it take to get going? +

For one venue with under twenty staff, you’ll publish your first roster the same evening you sign up. Most teams import their staff list, set their open hours, build a couple of templates, and click auto-fill before close.

Will it actually save four hours a week? +

Honest answer: depends on what you do now. Spreadsheet roster — yes, typically more. Already on a basic rostering tool — you’ll save the planning time but gain back accuracy. Talk to us if you want to see numbers from a venue your size.

What if my team won’t install another app? +

They don’t have to. Rosie sends a link by SMS or email — they tap, see their week, accept. If they want a home-screen icon, the web app installs in two taps. No app-store download, no password reset hell.

How does the auto-fill actually work? +

Under the hood, Rosie uses a constraint solver — Google’s OR-Tools CP-SAT engine. Your business rules (rest, certs, fairness, cost, preferences) become constraints, the solver finds the best feasible assignment, and Rosie tells you what it chose and why. You can override any cell. Nothing is hidden.

Do you do awards & pay rates? +

We track hours and basic penalty rates, and export to your payroll system, which handles award interpretation. We don’t aim to replace your payroll provider — Xero, MYOB, Employment Hero, ADP do that better. We add value at the schedule itself, and the live cost forecast before publish.

What if I get stuck? +

Email us. A real person responds, usually within the hour during NZ business hours, within four hours overnight. No chatbot. Onboarding for your first venue is included on every plan.

Can I cancel? +

Yes. One click in settings. No retention call. Your data exports to CSV. We’d rather you leave easily and come back later than feel trapped.
