The morning rush does not care who called in sick.
What you get
Built for the way cafes actually runs.
Built for cafe life
Morning rush, afternoon lull, weekend brunch chaos. Rosie understands your demand patterns and staffs accordingly.
Skill-based rostering
Your senior barista on the machine during rush, the new hire on register. Rosie matches skills to the shifts that need them.
Quick shift templates
Build your ideal week once — opener, mid, closer. Reuse it every week and tweak for busy periods.
Wage cost as you roster
Watch the wage bill update as you place each shift, before you publish. Rosie does not read your sales, so this is cost, not a labour-to-revenue ratio.
Self-service availability
Staff set when they can work in the app. No more texting everyone to find out who's free Saturday.
AI auto-scheduling
Tell Rosie how many staff you need per shift and she fills the roster in seconds. You tweak and publish.
In practice
The situations that cost you a morning.
The 6am no-show
Your opener calls in sick at 5:30am. The cafe opens in 30 minutes and you need someone who can run the machine.
With Rosie: Rosie shows who's qualified, available, and nearby. Send a shift offer with one tap — they accept in the app before you finish your first coffee.
Christmas week with casuals
You've got 3 casuals who each have different availability over the holiday period. Tracking who can work when is a nightmare.
With Rosie: Everyone sets their holiday availability in the app. Rosie auto-fills the roster around who's actually free. No back-and-forth texting.
Training the new barista
Your new hire needs to be paired with an experienced barista for their first two weeks. You can't roster them on the machine alone.
With Rosie: Set up roles so Rosie always schedules an experienced barista alongside the trainee. The overlap is automatic.
The difference
What changes on Monday morning.
| Without Rosie | With Rosie | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding cover for a sick call | Texting everyone in the group chat | One click reassigns to a qualified, available person |
| Tracking who's free | Paper diary behind the counter | Self-service availability in the app |
| Building the weekly roster | Spreadsheet on Sunday night | AI auto-fill in 2 minutes |
| Communicating the schedule | Photo of the whiteboard | Push notification to every phone |
| Managing two cafes | Two separate spreadsheets | One dashboard, all locations |
Straight answers
Cafes questions, answered.
How does Rosie handle early morning shifts?
Rosie respects minimum rest periods between shifts. If someone closes at 9pm, they won't be auto-rostered for a 5am open unless your rest rules allow it. You set the rules, Rosie enforces them.
Can I roster different skill levels?
Yes. Assign roles like Senior Barista, Barista, and All-Rounder to your staff. Rosie uses these when auto-filling to make sure you've always got the right skill mix on each shift.
What about casual minimum hours?
Set minimum shift lengths per staff member or globally. Rosie won't create shifts shorter than your minimums. Helpful for casuals who need at least 3 hours to make the commute worthwhile.
Does it handle public holidays?
Rosie flags shifts that fall on public holidays so you can see the cost impact. Helpful for planning the Christmas/New Year period when every shift is time-and-a-half.
Can staff see their roster on their phone?
Yes. Staff get push notifications when the roster is published and can see their upcoming shifts, request time off, and set availability — all from their phone.
Is there a free trial?
30 days free, no credit card required. Most cafes are up and running in under 10 minutes.
