ClockRota vs Rotahr

ClockRota provides rota planning, clock-in, attendance, and payroll export tools for UK pubs, cafés, and restaurants. Managers can create weekly schedules in a grid by dragging, dropping, and duplicating shifts. Publishing a rota sends staff push and email alerts, and employees can arrange shift swaps for a manager to approve or decline. Attendance tools show who is working, who is late, and hours worked. ClockRota exports clocked hours as a CSV for payroll; no specific payroll integrations are named. Rota planning, staff clock-in, and payroll export work in a browser on phones, tablets, and computers. The site says a native app is in development, so clock-in currently uses the browser. The public beta is free for its duration, with every feature unlocked and no usage limits. After the beta, the listed plan for up to five staff is £9 per month; the 6–10 staff plan is £19 per month. Owners and managers count toward the team size, which determines the applicable staff band.

Rotahr combines restaurant scheduling, clock-ins, food-safety records, reservations, bookkeeping, payroll summaries, stock and recipe costing, guest CRM, training, and equipment servicing in one hospitality operations platform. Managers can publish weekly rotas, manage swaps and time off, and see projected wage costs while scheduling. Its HACCP tools record temperatures, deliveries, cleaning checks, and corrective actions, with PDF export for inspections. Reservations use a floor plan and can create or update guest profiles with visit and spend history. Bookkeeping includes expense tracking, VAT or sales-tax summaries, P&L, and CSV export; the maker says its AI can read receipt details. Square is the only supported POS integration, though a POS connection is not required. Staff can use native iOS and Android apps or a phone browser. Plans include three months free and no card is needed: Starter costs €49/month incl. VAT for up to 15 staff, Pro is €89/month incl. VAT for up to 30, and Enterprise is €215+/month incl. VAT with custom pricing. Rotahr is made in Ireland for hospitality venues including restaurants, bars, cafés, hotels, and takeaways.
