Director of Operations Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rotaready meets our scheduling needs - and the support service is excellent!" November 28, 2023 4.0 Excellent set up, great support team, good developing system - and meets our budget. Pros Good profiling of business forecasting costs versus employee scheduling costs, and the integration with Lightspeed (for sales) and Tenzo (for reporting). Cons The employee App needs a little bit of development to meet the provisions for competitors App's - but functions well for our needs Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing Rotaready Evo UK based, ease of access to set up, great support and relatively economical for our requirements Switched from [Deputy](https://www.capterra.com/p/167811/Deputy/)[BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Integration in to Lightspeed and other reporting / sales systems Review Source Response from The Access Group December 8, 2023 Thank you for your positive review Deborah, we're really pleased to hear that you're seeing great benefits from our integrations and loving the support! Re the mobile app, we're actively working on management functionality within the mobile app, starting with a rota editor! Keep your eyes peeled. MS Minesh S. Managing Director Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great product supported by a great team!" February 20, 2023 5.0 We transitioned from another rota management platform during COVID. The RotaReady team helped with making the process as smooth as possible. The team at RotaReady are always receptive to the introduction of new ideas providing a path towards bringing new features to the platform. Over the past two years, the improvements have been significant. It's worth point out that support for issues is always a must when choosing these products. I have found the RotaReady team always available to help. The chat function in particular is great, you're not just talking to a bot! It makes a big difference when they want to solve the issues as quickly as possible. Overall, a really good product that always continues to improve. The support is just as important and they do a great job of making this as easy as possible. Pros The team are really receptive of new processes and ideas. They look at ways to implement these and will provide a clear guideline to when these are coming. Love the chat function, the team are quick and helpful. It helps resolve issues very quickly. Cons The clocking in and out. When an employee leaves significantly earlier than the shift pattern suggests. The system does not flag it as an issue. Shift swapping isn't as clear as it could be. The clocking in app on the tablet still needs some work. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 22, 2023 Thank you for your positive review, Minesh! We're really pleased to hear that our support functions have assisted you with a smooth rollout and that you're enjoying the new features that we've been releasing. Our team will be more than happy to assist with troubleshooting any issues that you're having with staff clocking-in via your tablet, just drop us a line! SA Sally A. Director Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product with easy use" September 13, 2023 5.0 Pros You can see the rota details on your phone as well as on a computer/ipad. Clocking in and out for you staff is great. Good for adjusting sales forcasts for the business. Cons Nothing really. I find it easy to use and when i need help theres always someone to ask. Review Source Response from The Access Group October 2, 2023 Thank you for sharing your favourite things about Rotaready, Sally! We really enjoyed reading your feedback NH Nicki H. Administrator Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Staff Rota Software and so much more " June 28, 2023 5.0 Making changes in any company can be daunting at first but the training and support we received was second to none, and still is. \[sensitive content hidden\] at Rotaready has always been excellent at responding to any of our queries and requests. Her knowledge of the system is outstanding and I always know she will respond quickly. Pros The ease of building rotas is fantastic. Monitoring hours and optimizing's wage spend is a great benefit that can assist with wage cost. The payroll facility is by far the easiest and simplest system I have used, saving hours of time. Cons We don't really see any cons to the Rotaready system. I'm impressed by its simplicity and user friendliness. Review Source Response from The Access Group June 30, 2023 Thank you for your great feedback Nicki! We loved reading your comments and are really pleased to hear how helpful you're finding Rotaready! JJ James J. Director Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Coachman " May 28, 2024 4.0 a few setup issues but generally all went ok Pros Easy to use and setup and is very user friendly Cons it doesn't tell you when and where you need the staff on, other products do this Switched from [S4labour](https://www.capterra.com/p/255014/S4labour/) a wee bit more advanced and had some other features we could use Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 Hi James, thanks for taking the time to write your review! We've got some exciting developments underway in the labour analytics space... do keep your eyes peeled for updates! GM Gary M. Executive chef Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great business product to make rota'ing a breeze " January 31, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to set up easy to use and teach people how to use very easy to navigate and find what you need. for payroll exports its really easy as you can just export the exact dates and data needed to send to accountants. Cons Only problem we have ever seen is we can't have one member of staff assigned to 2 sites. for example the executive chef has to be under a "covershift" which is annoying for splitting costs Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 Thanks for taking the time to review Rotaready, Gary! SD Simon D. Director Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great customer service " August 11, 2023 5.0 Really good overall rotaready is definitely better then other companies offering similar products with in the same market. Pros The customer is clear and very helpful and the fact you speak or live chat with the same people make it easer and quicker. Cons As the owner email notification of holiday on senior key member would help me understand the skill level with the sites in their absence. Alternatives considered [RotaCloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/137099/RotaCloud/) Review Source Response from The Access Group August 31, 2023 Hi Simon, thank you for your positive review, we're really enjoyed reading your comments. Good news re holiday notifications, you can receive notifications of holidays for senior team members. You just need to set yourself as their line manager and subscribe to updates. NC Nina C. Operations Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Rotaready review" April 17, 2024 4.0 Great company to work with always happy to help. The only thing i woukd change would be being able to call for help when struggling with something rather email or chat. Pros Keeps everything in one place. Easy to use and gives access to everyone. Cons Some of the features arent easy to understand to begin with but once you know what you are doing they are great. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 Hey Nina, thank you! We do offer phone support in addition to live chat & email. Our contact details are on www.rotaready.com/contact :) SR Samantha R. Finance Officer Printing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User Friendly" March 10, 2020 4.0 Customer Service is exceptional. The team are very quick with their response emails. We have yet to come across an issue that cannot be solved. The team have worked tirelessly with us to get our unusual shift patterns to work within the entire company. We have definitely set some challenges for the RotaReady team, and they have come up trumps every time. Pros We use scheduling for our Rota's. Once we got to grips with how it works, it has been a dream to implement, maintain and manage. We use the HR function and upload all documents into folders designed for us. Swapping and changing daily rotas is as simple as click and drag. We are able to add additional pay rates to different shift patterns. Cons No fire role call function. User to be able to cancel holiday. The ability to amend holiday/time off without cancelling it. We have to run many different reports to get the information we require before we can run payroll, but that is our unique way of working rather than RotaReady function error. Reason for choosing Rotaready Evo Ease of use. Visually appealing. Able to build a shift pattern to suit. Switched from [InTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/103832/InTime-Solutions/) We needed something that was user friendly for our Managers to be able to access and work with daily. Review Source Response from The Access Group July 13, 2022 Hey Samantha, thank you for the positive feedback! It's wonderful to hear that you're benefiting from all the features that Rotaready provides. We'd recommend checking out the 'currently clocked-in' report to export a list of staff who are currently clocked in and therefore on-site for your fire drills, along with the 'edit/review booking' option on any absence booking to make changes to your colleagues' bookings. VV Vaiva V. Operations Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Honest Feedback" September 12, 2023 4.0 Pros Very easy to use, fast and pretty efficient. Cons Change details once sign-off and Holiday balance could be tricky and not accurate. Review Source Response from The Access Group October 2, 2023 Hi Vaiva, thank you very much for your review! It's great to hear how easy and efficient you're finding using Rotaready. In terms of the challenges you're facing, we'd love to help you solve these. Please do get in touch with us via live chat or contact your Customer Success Manager; we'll be more than happy to help. NW Natalie W. Head of Business Support Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective Staff System" May 3, 2024 4.0 Overall very good. Support is decent, majority of features we wanted were there. Pros We have many nuances and it was the only system that could cope with those and give us the functionality we wanted. Cons Sometimes it isn't the most obvious at telling you when things are missing to work out why something isn't working properly, but the support team are pretty fast at getting back to you. Alternatives considered [Deputy](https://www.capterra.com/p/167811/Deputy/)[Shiftie](https://www.capterra.com/p/10018348/Shiftie/) Reason for choosing Rotaready Evo It was the most flexible to deal with our needs. Switched from [RotaCloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/137099/RotaCloud/) Too much ability to change things with no record. Didn't have all the features we wanted/needed going forward. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 It's great to hear you've had a good experience with Rotaready, Natalie! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. LA Luca A. Cost Manager Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good system but it can be better" June 16, 2022 3.0 Positive but is missing few important things. Pros Easy to make rota. Good support team... Cons Clock in from tablet takes too long. A finger print scan would be faster. There is no absences report available and we cannot write notes to remember absences details. Between signing off and approve the tronc we need to go back and forward too many times. Not all info are in the same page (rota, attendances, cost, tronc) Tronc is not always calculated so we needed to call the support several times to get the issue sorted out. Reason for choosing Rotaready Evo Being the first software we were buying and not being a big company we decided to go for the cheaper. Review Source Response from The Access Group July 13, 2022 Thanks for the feedback Luca! Hopefully the following will help resolve your issues: - The clocking-in page on your tablet runs off your WiFi, so moving your device closer to your router will improve your connection. Alternatively, you could allow your staff to clock-in from the Rotaready mobile app. - You can add notes when adding or responding to an absence booking: just hit "Add a note to this request" beneath the main details. There are a selection of customisable absence and allowance reports in the Reports section. - Our tronc feature is designed to be used once you've signed-off your hours for a week so the distribution of tips calculated is accurate. Just head to Tronc once you've signed-off your week to check, amend and confirm the payments. - Rotas, attendance, cost control and tronc have their own modules in Rotaready as they're all large features in their own right and are permissioned separately too. Do let us know if you have any questions, we're more than happy to help! GH Graham H. Operations Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best of the bunch" October 13, 2023 5.0 Very postive. easy to use and the team love it. Pros Easy to use and the customer support is impeccable Cons Some struggles with reporting on different pay cycles but an work around it Switched from [Harri](https://www.capterra.com/p/154168/TeamLive/) Harri was appalling and the customer service was non existent. Review Source Response from The Access Group December 7, 2023 Thank you for your positive review Graham! We're thrilled to hear that you're loving Rotareay and the support you're getting from our team! If you're still having problems reporting on pay cycles, get in touch with our support team, they'll be happy to help you tackle any challenges you're having here GM Graeme M. Senior Retail Business Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product" May 28, 2024 5.0 Excellent, I would highly recommend rota ready to any business of any size. Pros Very easy to use with multiple functions that supports me and my role within our business, the support is easy to access with loads of articles to help with use. The growing functions add great value to what we do on a daily basis and the use both on a laptop and mobile makes this a great service. Cons Nothing, any time there is an issue or query the support team a very quick to offer advice and guidance to us. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 Awesome, thank you Graeme, it's brilliant to hear this! NB Nathan B. Executive Personal Assistant Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RotaReady for Multisite Restaurant Group" April 18, 2024 4.0 Overall the experience with RotaReady is good. Customer service is fantastic, they reply almost straight away and find the best and quickest solutions. Pros The ease of adding new starters, ending employments, scheduling shifts and seeing realtime clocking in and out. Cons Hard to get an accurate wage percentage as it doesn't integrate with our till system to pull all the information over. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences, Nathan! We're always on the hunt to add to our ever-growing collection of till integrations. We prioritise the ones which are most in-demand. Hopefully we'll be able to integrate with your provider soon. EW Emma W. Operations Manager Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "In a sea of products for HOSPO management - Rota Ready excels!" August 7, 2023 5.0 Pros The all in one hub for employee management , being able to upload documents to complete HR per employee without using a separate drive- together with Scheduling and mobile ability for employees, it's a great product for our business. Cons It would be good to get a notification (as the manager) when onboarding is complete - i found 6 waiting for review that i had no idea were there. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 10, 2023 Hey Emma, thanks so much for your positive review. It's great to hear how Rotaready is helping across the whole business! We have some good news for you re onboarding notifications, we've recently released the subscription button for employee submitted details, so you can now be notified whenever onboarding has been completed. CW Carole W. Operations Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rota Ready Review" February 14, 2024 4.0 Overall it has been good. Customer Service is pretty fast when help is needed. Pros It's easy to use mainly once you know how things work, good for our rotas and payroll, holiday requests etc Cons I would like all employees to be able to see the Absence calendar when planning holidays but am told this is not possible without them seeing notes attached to the requests which may contain private information. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 Pleased to hear you've had quick responses from our awesome support team, Carole! NL Nick L. Chief of Staff Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good option for easy rota software" June 16, 2022 4.0 broadly positive, our customer success manager, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is wonderful and real asset. Pros Accessible and easy to use for end users and admins alike. Good ability to send documents for signing and quite feature rich. Cons Couple of niggles around the currently underway consolidation of Rotaready and RotaReady HQ - RotaReady struggles with more complex integrations like Xero, especially with more complex rotas (multiple pay items, multiple pay calendars) would be ideal to have a live integration that could push new rota ready employees to xero etc rather than having to manage both in slightly different ways Review Source Response from The Access Group July 13, 2022 Thank you very much for your review Nick! It's great to hear the wonderful feedback about your account manager and we're glad the whole team is finding Rotaready easy to use! Regarding our Xero integration - this works by pushing your signed-off hours and absence data from Rotaready directly into employee timesheets in Xero, meaning you can eliminate the manual process of importing timesheet data into your payroll system. We would love to enhance the integration to sync employee details too to make the process even more seamless, you can keep an eye out for future developments on our public roadmap! DP Diego P. Director Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great HR/Payroll software that simply cover the business needs." July 28, 2023 5.0 Very Good Pros Is fast, user friendly, have the features that is required without making it complicated. Cons Still need improvements to catch with the top software's, could be more developments that will make it great as a tool. Reason for choosing Rotaready Evo Functions seems better and user friendly Review Source Response from The Access Group August 10, 2023 Thank you for your feedback, Diego! It's great to hear you're loving Rotaready's user-friendly nature. If there's anything in particular you're looking for in terms of additional functionality, then please do let us know. We always take into account customer feedback when planning our future roadmap CP Caryn P. Operations Director Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "RotaReady Review" December 19, 2023 5.0 I'm very happy with RotaReady - it keeps improving and the features are excellent. It really helps having everything in one place and also having less paperwork. I would especially recommend it to multi-site companies. Pros Having all staff documents and info in one place. Holiday accrual easily worked out. Less mistakes with wages. Easy for staff to use and request time off. Being able to see all rotas in one place and what attendance issues there are. Cons Unable to bulk send out documents for signing - this is being looked into though. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 16, 2024 Thanks for the kind words, Caryn! CH Charlotte H. Director Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rota Ready for Workforce Management " September 19, 2023 4.0 Positive experience so far. I'm very impressed with the speed that customer service respond to any queries. Pros The system is fairly intuitive. It's been a great asset to onboarding team members and keeping staff details and records in one place. Customer service online chat is brilliant and you get answers and support really fast. Cons In order to store all staff notes and records it takes quite a lot of effort to get the permission levels set up properly. It may be beneficial to have the option of someone having access to their direct reports rather than everyone below them on permissions. Review Source Response from The Access Group October 2, 2023 Hi Charlotte, thank you very much for your positive review and feedback on our support! Re your point on permission levels, you are able to customise the exact access that your employees have across Rotaready on a role-by-role basis, if you need any help managing your permissions feel free to reach out to your Customer Success Manager or the Rotaready Support team KD Kati D. General Manager Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best app for the rotas managment" September 15, 2023 5.0 Pros I'm using RotaReady for about 2 years now from manager/admin position and it makes my job easier. It saved me a lot of time and money. The cost control section is great, there are all tools you need to schedule a timetable or hire new employee. Highly reccomend. Cons Some tools are complacated to use for the beginner, I feel like sometimes you can get confused but overwhelmed with amout of information. Review Source Response from The Access Group October 2, 2023 Thank you for your positive feedback Kati, it's great to hear how Rotaready has made your job easier! If there is ever anything that you or your team need clarity on, please don't hesitate to get in touch, we'll be more than happy to help. RW Robin W. Financial Controller Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Latest top player in Workforce Management" August 18, 2023 5.0 Very gratifying, more advanced then some of the original pioneers of hospitality workflow management and more affordable than some of the more recent competitors. Pros Apart from the ease of use, I really like the way Sales figures (Forecast/Actual) can be imported from CSV as it saves hours of time and means figures can be upated well in advance as many times as they change. Cons The Cost Control (and import) needs to include statiatical information as often F&B is judged on cost per cover and Housekeeping is judged on cost per room. Now that Access have Guestline, it would be nice if actaul figures were imported automatically from there. Review Source Response from The Access Group August 31, 2023 Hey Robin, thanks so much for your feedback - we really loved hearing your comments. Rotaready has recently integrated with Guestline Rezlynx for a live feed of sales data, we'd love to extend this integration in the future for other important metrics too! Give our team a shout if you'd like more information on enabling the integration with Rotaready and Guestline Rezlynx. GB Gregory B. Managing Director Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product - no brainer, cost effective and does everything you need. " November 8, 2023 5.0 Really good, zero issues, easy to use, helpful time, cheap and does everything it is meant to do! Pros Very easy to set up, really helpful and knowledgeable onboarding \[sensitive content hidden\], daily operation is the simplest product I've used in the space. Rapid responses to questions. Cons N/A - No issues with the product at all. I would like the ability to rota freelancers in the future but this is a dev request. Review Source Response from The Access Group December 7, 2023 Hi Gregory, thank you so much for your positive review! Your feedback made our day NL Neil L. Financial Controller Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rota ready and Itison Venues" April 29, 2022 5.0 Overall very happy with moving to Rota ready. The initial training was great , we thought we would have to roll the product out venue by venue but such was the level of training and support , we did it all in one go - problem free. Weekly Rota prep and management has become so easy and we are saving so much time. Pros Easy to use and easy on the eye , a joy to work with. The software is great for experienced and non-experienced IT users alike. Clocking in and out extremely easy for staff and the management process is very smooth. Reporting is concise and enables quick and efficient forecasting and wage cost reporting Cons We haven't really had any issues so far - the software is very easy to use. We had a few things that we asked them to tweak to suit our business needs , but that was super easy to do so now it fits our business model really well. Review Source Response from The Access Group July 13, 2022 Hi Neil, thank you very much for your review! We're really pleased to hear that you're enjoying using Rotaready and that it's a great fit for your business.
