Your reliability

Gets you first pick

Built-in calendar

The whole picture,
before you need it.

The Roster calendar isn’t a schedule builder — it’s a live coverage map. Every day shows you instantly whether you’re solid or exposed, and tapping a day shows exactly who’s in and who’s pending.

Subscribe once and it lives in Apple Calendar or Google Cal — for managers and employees both — always up to date, no refresh needed.

Green day — all shifts filled

Amber day — partially covered, Roster is working on it

No dot — no shifts posted yet

Managers believe in it

Because it fills shifts — every time, without the chaos.

✓ Post a shift in seconds. Calendar view, role picker, one tap. Roster contacts your whole team instantly.

✓ Smart offer order. The right people get asked first — based on role fit, preferences, and history. No manual sorting.

✓ Call-outs handled automatically. Employee calls out → Roster finds a replacement and notifies you when it's sorted.

✓ Recurring shifts, one tap. Toggle "Repeat weekly" and Roster spawns next week's shift automatically — same role, same time, no re-entry.

✓ Holiday awareness built in. Roster checks every shift date against holidays and your team's cultural calendar — and asks before filling, not after.

✓ Operations dashboard. Coverage stats, a 7-day week strip, and your full team's availability at a glance — before you even post a shift.

✓ Insights when you need them. "Most of your team has low Saturday availability — may be worth a conversation." Roster tells you what's coming.

✓ Your full schedule in one tap. Subscribe to a live calendar feed — every shift, every assignment, always up to date in Apple or Google Cal.

✓ Multilingual, automatically. Tell Roster what languages your team speaks. Every employee hears from Roster in their language — no setup required.

👩‍🍳

Employees love it

Because it works for them, not just their manager.

✓ Their schedule, in their pocket. Confirm shifts, see what's coming, sync to Apple or Google Calendar.

✓ First pick on preferred shifts. Set the days and times you like. Roster offers those first — automatically.

✓ No guilt when you call out. "Got it — we're finding coverage. You're all set." One text back. Done.

✓ SMS if you don't have the app. Roster meets everyone where they are. No forced downloads.

✓ Swap shifts without the drama. Need coverage? Request an open swap or pick a specific person. Roster handles the handoff.

✓ Set a weekly hour limit. Soft preference or hard cap — your call. Roster deprioritizes or excludes you automatically.

✓ Know what's coming. See your upcoming shifts at a glance. No digging through group chats or calling the manager to ask.

✓ Recognized when you step up. Cover a shift last-minute? Roster notices — and says so. Reliability opens doors.

✓ Reply in any language. Roster detects your language and responds in kind — from the very first message. No settings, no setup.

How it works

Set it up once.
Let Roster run it.

Add your team

Enter names, phones, and roles. Employees get a welcome text and can start using the app immediately — or just reply via SMS. No friction.

Post shifts from anywhere

Use the app calendar, or text Roster in plain English: "Need a cook Saturday at 5pm." It creates the shift and contacts your team instantly.

Roster handles the rest

Employees confirm or decline with one tap. Roster fills the shift, stops contacting the others, and sends you a notification. Done.

In the real world

Works on every phone.

App or no app — everyone gets the experience they want. The native app for those who love it, a simple text for everyone else. Roster never requires your team to change how they work.

And when someone covers on short notice? They hear about it.
