Rostering shouldn't eat your Sunday night
If the roster lives in a spreadsheet, on paper, or in a group chat, you're paying for it in hours, no-shows and wage blowouts every single week.
Hours lost every week
Managers spend 3 to 5 hours a week building and re-sending rosters by hand. That's over 150 hours a year you never get back.
"I didn't know I was working"
When the roster changes, someone has to tell everyone. One missed message becomes a no-show, and buying cover always costs a premium.
Wages blowing the budget
If you only see labour cost after payroll runs, it's too late. Over-rostering quietly eats your margin week after week.

Don't take our word for it
Here's what NZ business owners and managers are saying
“WeRoster is far worth the time it saves. I have immediately adopted it into my own store.”
“We run 3 company's rosters, and to be able to manage them all in one place is fantastic. The ability to track hours rostered and leave requests streamlines our processes and aligns us with our legal obligations.”
“WeRoster has been a great tool to measure wage cost and hours rostered per week. It makes it a lot easier to forecast the wage cost per day with the expected sales, which helps a lot with budgeting.”
“It is so quick doing the roster. The staff have no doubt when they are working so no more reading the roster wrong. Our wage costs have improved with being able to forecast sales and roster to a specific wage percentage.”

No. WeRoster works in any web browser on phone, tablet, or desktop. Staff can view their roster, submit availability, and request leave without installing anything.
