Workforce
RotaCloud
RotaCloud is UK workforce software for building and sharing rotas, managing availability and leave, recording attendance, approving timesheets and preparing payroll information. It is used across hospitality and other shift-based sectors.
The assessment
What stands out
Strengths
Straightforward rota planning. Drag-and-drop scheduling and mobile access make shifts visible to managers and employees.
Strong Capterra feedback. Its product-specific score is high across 284 reviews.
Covers the core workforce cycle. Rotas, leave, attendance, timesheets and labour-cost visibility can share one system.
UK-based product and support. This can suit operators wanting a locally focused workforce supplier.
Worth knowing
Review sources show an important difference. Capterra is highly positive, while Trustpilot is 3.2 from 61 company reviews and contains recent complaints about clocking terminals, outages and support. Both need to be considered rather than choosing the more flattering score.
RotaCloud is not a full payroll platform. Confirm the export or integration required by the actual payroll provider and test pay rates, breaks, overnight shifts and payroll cut-off.
Hotels wanting occupancy-led staffing need to confirm how forecast demand reaches managers because a standard rota does not automatically understand hotel trading.
