The problems FlexiWork solves for restaurants.

You did not get into hospitality to spend your Tuesday evening rebuilding the rota on WhatsApp.

Shifts confirmed in group chats

WhatsApp is not a rota system. Messages get missed, shifts go unconfirmed, and you discover at 5pm Friday that someone is not coming in.

Mixed workforce, multiple systems

Permanent staff in one place, casuals in another, agency workers in a third. Nothing reconciles, nothing gives you the full picture in one view.

Hours of admin that should not exist

Building the rota, chasing confirmations, sorting cover, reconciling timesheets — six to ten hours a week of work that software should be doing.

No-shows with zero warning

When someone does not show, you find out when they do not walk through the door — not 24 hours earlier when you could have arranged cover.

Agency fees eating your margin

Most agencies charge 25–35% on top of the worker's pay. Through FlexiWork Agency you book the same verified workers direct at a 15% platform fee.

No ERA 2025 records on file

From 2027, you need rolling 12-week records of every zero-hours worker's actual hours. If you are not tracking that today, you will not have the data you need.

Everything a restaurant needs to run its team properly.

Rota, wages and compliance in one platform. No add-ons, no per-user charges, no surprises.

Rota

Publish a week in minutes

Drag-and-drop scheduling across all roles, sites and worker types. Staff are notified instantly and confirm from their phone. The whole team — permanent, casual, agency — sits in one view.

Rota

Staff manage their own availability

Workers update availability in the app. You see conflicts before they become problems. No more double-booking someone who told a different manager they were unavailable.

Rota

Digital clock in and out

Actual start and end times recorded against every shift. No more timesheets, no more guesswork at the end of the week about what someone actually worked.

Wages

Automatic wage calculation

Actual hours multiplied by pay rates, with overtime and any leave types accounted for. A payroll-ready report at the end of every week. The manual reconciliation step is gone.

Agency

Fill shifts without the markup

Post uncovered shifts to a network of verified workers. Book the same reliable people repeatedly. Pay a 15% platform fee instead of the 25–35% your agency charges today.

ERA 2025

Compliance records built in

Every shift contributes to each 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 restaurants in the UK? +
The right software for a UK restaurant manages the full mixed workforce — permanent kitchen staff, casual front-of-house, and agency cover — 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 charges.
How much does restaurant rota software cost? +
Most rota tools charge per user per month, which adds up fast — £100 to £300 per month is typical for a restaurant 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.
How long is the free trial? +
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required to begin. 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. FlexiWork automatically records the hours each zero-hours and casual worker actually works, building the 12-week reference period data required by the guaranteed hours obligation from 2027. Statutory holiday pay records are also kept automatically, which became a requirement in April 2026. Both are included on every plan.
Can it handle both permanent staff and casuals in one rota? +
FlexiWork manages permanent staff, casuals and agency workers together in a single rota view. Each worker type carries its own contract settings, pay rules and entitlements. You see the whole team in one place rather than maintaining separate systems.
How quickly can my team be onboarded? +
Most restaurant 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.
What about wage calculation? +
FlexiWork calculates pay based on actual hours, your pay rates, overtime rules and any leave types in your contracts. It produces a wage-ready report you can hand to your payroll provider at the end of every week. It is not a payroll bureau — full payroll submission is coming as an optional add-on.
