Five-star stays start with a five-star rota

Online rota software for hotels & resorts

RotaCloud software

In the hospitality industry, careful planning is essential if you want to prevent chaos from breaking out. But with every minute you spend on admin meaning a minute less spent with your guests, it can sometimes be tricky to strike the right balance.

That’s where we can help. RotaCloud is the no-nonsense way to plan rotas, track attendance, and manage annual leave — all in one place. It’s already helping thousands of businesses reduce wage bills, prevent staffing mix-ups, and cut rota planning time by as much as two-thirds. Plus, with free apps for your staff, you can be confident your team always have the right version of the rota in their pocket.

The Engine Shed’s RotaCloud testimonial video

Reclaiming workdays with smart rota planning

At one time a store for trains, Wetherby’s The Engine Shed is now a popular wedding and private hire venue. HR & Finance Manager Emma Hogg talked to us about how RotaCloud has helped her business grow.


Instead of having to remember to update the rota and then notify everyone, I can make the changes right there and then — I just click a button and everyone gets a notification. I would wholeheartedly recommend RotaCloud to other businesses in our industry — it’s changed the way I work completely.

RotaCloud has meant that we are totally up to speed with who has taken or booked in leave and when, as well as how many days they have left to be allocated across the year.

I can access my rotas from wherever I am in the world and see who is working and what they should be doing.
