Pattern, publish, cover, count
Rotazo is for the person who writes the shift schedule in a US small business: the salon owner scheduling stylists, the restaurant manager covering the weekend, the plant supervisor putting four crews on a 2-2-3.
Free for 14 days. No card needed.
Rotazo Pro is $6.50 per month for your whole team, billed monthly.
The owner, manager or supervisor of a US shop, salon, restaurant, gym, clinic, warehouse, security post or plant who staffs shifts and has to lay out who works when, cover the clock, and keep the published schedule
Not a UK employer writing a rota, not a service company dispatching jobs, not a surveyor writing a schedule of condition, not a payroll or HR buyer, and not somebody looking for a legal ruling on hours
Tools
The free worksheet on this site lays out a rotating pattern from your own figures, the crews, the shift length, the days on and off in the cycle, and shows the hours it works out to per person and the people it takes to cover the clock, with no account.
Then the paid plan keeps the published schedule as the record, so the version everyone agreed to is never a photo of a whiteboard again.
Free to use. No account, no card, no sign-up.

Upgrading turns the worksheet into the record. The pattern becomes a schedule with names on it; every publish is a dated version; a swap or a call-out is recorded against the shift with who covered it; every person's hours add up on their own page. Export is always available, so the schedule history is yours whether or not you stay.

The pattern
Most schedule arguments are about a pattern nobody costed: a 2-2-3 that averages 42 hours, a 4 on 4 off that needs a fourth crew nobody hired. Laying the pattern out with its hours per person and its crews for coverage is the decision, and it is the one most teams make by feel.
The publish
A schedule that changed on the whiteboard after Tuesday's photo is the source of every no-show argument. Keeping each published version with its date means the one everybody saw is the one that counts, and the change is a version rather than a rumour.
The cover
A swap agreed in a group chat is a swap nobody can find at payroll. Holding it against the shift with the two names on it is what turns a call-out into a covered shift rather than a gap and a dispute.
If you are scheduling hundreds of people across sites with time clocks, payroll integration, labor forecasting and compliance rules per state, buy a workforce management suite and give it the implementation it needs. Rotazo is for the manager with one crew to eighty people who wants the pattern laid out, the schedule published and the swaps kept as a record, and is not running a procurement exercise to get it.
Rotazo: A record of the pattern, the published schedule, the swaps and the hours
A workforce management suite: An end-to-end platform: forecasting, scheduling, time clocks, payroll integration and compliance
Rotazo: You open it and lay out your first pattern; the free worksheet needs no account at all
A workforce management suite: An implementation, usually with a rollout, a time clock and a payroll integration
Rotazo: $6.50 per month for your whole team, billed monthly, cancel from your account page
A workforce management suite: Quoted per employee per month on an annual contract, commonly with a setup fee
Rotazo: It does not clock people in, run payroll, forecast demand or rule on your state's scheduling law
A workforce management suite: Covers those, at a depth a team of a few dozen rarely needs on day one
No competitor price is stated here, deliberately: workforce management suites are quoted per employee against volume and contract length rather than published, so any figure would be invented. This hub's own price is the one figure on the page, and it is the benchmark recorded in research/data/saas-products.tsv (basis: benchmarked) rather than a comparison against a named tier.
