The problems FlexiWork solves for pubs and bars.

Running a pub should not mean discovering at 7pm Friday that your cover for the busiest service of the week is not coming.

Weekend rush with last-minute gaps

Friday and Saturday nights are your highest-revenue shifts — and your highest-risk shifts for no-shows. Getting cover wrong on a busy weekend costs you in service and in customer goodwill.

Casual bar staff managed informally

Your regulars are on the rota. Your casuals get a text on Thursday. Neither system gives you full visibility until Saturday afternoon, when someone does not show.

Late start times that other tools mishandle

A bar rota has shifts starting at 5pm, 8pm and sometimes after midnight. Managing those across staff with different availability and other commitments needs a proper system, not a group chat.

No-shows on a Friday at 7pm

You find out via text message. Your cover list is in your head. Your fallback agency does not pick up until Monday. The first two hours of your busiest service are understaffed.

Agency at 30% every busy weekend

Some operators call an agency every Friday for weekend cover rather than building a reliable casual pool. FlexiWork Agency lets you book the same workers direct at 15%.

Zero-hours bar staff with no records

Most bar casual staff are on zero-hours arrangements. From 2027, their working patterns must be documented. If you are not recording actual hours now, you will not have the data when it is needed.

Built for how bars actually run.

Late-night shifts, weekend peaks, casual-heavy teams — handled out of the box.

Rota

Publish the weekend in minutes

Drag-and-drop scheduling across roles and sites. Staff get notified instantly and confirm from their phone. See exactly who has confirmed for Friday and Saturday before lunchtime on Thursday.

Rota

Late-night shifts native

5pm starts, midnight finishes, split shifts and rest period rules all handled out of the box. No working-time compliance gaps, no rota that breaks at midnight.

Rota

Staff manage their own availability

Bar staff often work multiple jobs. They update availability in the app and you see conflicts before they happen — no more discovering a clash at 6pm Friday.

Wages

Automatic wage calculation

Pay from actual hours, with your rates and any leave types applied. A payroll-ready report at the end of every week — accurate, compliant and ready for your payroll provider.

Agency

Cover Friday gaps without the markup

Post uncovered shifts to a network of verified UK workers. Build a reliable weekend roster. Pay 15% instead of the 25–35% your agency charges today.

ERA 2025

Compliance records built in

Every shift contributes to each zero-hours worker's rolling 12-week record. Holiday pay maintained automatically. Tribunal-ready data from day one — at no extra cost.

ERA 2025 compliance is not optional — and 2027 is closer than it looks

The guaranteed hours obligation requires records of actual hours per worker, per 12-week period. FlexiWork builds those records from day one. Learn more about ERA 2025 →

Questions, answered.

What is the best rota software for UK pubs and bars? +
The right software for a UK pub or bar handles late-night shifts, peak-weekend cover and a mix of permanent and casual bar staff in one rota. FlexiWork is built specifically for UK shift-based businesses, with ERA 2025 compliance, automatic wage calculation and flat-fee pricing from £24.50 per month — with no per-user fees.
How much does pub and bar rota software cost? +
Most platforms charge per user per month, which adds up fast for a casual-heavy bar team. FlexiWork charges a flat fee: from £24.50 per month for up to 15 workers, £45.50 for up to 50, and £77 for up to 150. Annual billing gets an extra 20% off. Unlimited venues included on every plan.
Can it handle late-night shift times and weekend peaks? +
Yes. FlexiWork handles late-evening starts, post-midnight finishes, split shifts and rest period rules natively. Staff confirm shifts from their phone and managers see a live dashboard of who is confirmed for the weekend service.
How long is the free trial? +
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required. At the end of the trial you choose monthly (30% off for 3 months) or annual billing (20% off all year). Cancel any time — no contracts, no lock-in.
Does FlexiWork help with ERA 2025 compliance? +
Yes. Most bar staff work on zero-hours arrangements — ERA 2025's guaranteed hours obligation will affect almost all of them. FlexiWork automatically records actual hours per worker, building the 12-week reference period data and holiday pay records you need, included on every plan.
How quickly can my team be onboarded? +
Most bar teams are fully set up and using FlexiWork within 48 hours. The worker-facing interface is intentionally simple — if your team uses WhatsApp, they can use FlexiWork. Onboarding support is included on every plan.
