# Rotazo > Rotazo is software for the manager who staffs shifts in a US small business: a free rotating schedule generator that lays out a pattern for a crew from the shift length, the days on and off in the cycle and the people needed per shift, with no account, and Rotazo Pro, which keeps the published schedule as the record, holding every version, every swap and call-out, and every person's hours. It covers the US shift schedule only. It is not a UK rota tool, not a job dispatch or appointment system, not a time clock, not payroll, and it gives no legal opinion on hours or pay. ## What this is for - 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 - [Rotating schedule generator](https://rotazo.com/tools/rotating-schedule-generator/): Put in the crews, the shift length, the days on and off in the cycle and the people a shift needs, and see the hours per person, the crews that cover the clock, and the cost of a cycle. ## Guides - [Salon schedule app](https://rotazo.com/salon-schedule-app/): the guides explain what each shift and each rotating pattern is and how a crew's schedule is laid out, never what the law requires of a particular employer - [Restaurant employee scheduling](https://rotazo.com/industries/restaurants/restaurant-employee-scheduling/): the guides explain what each shift and each rotating pattern is and how a crew's schedule is laid out, never what the law requires of a particular employer - [Best restaurant scheduling app](https://rotazo.com/industries/restaurants/best-restaurant-scheduling-app/): the guides explain what each shift and each rotating pattern is and how a crew's schedule is laid out, never what the law requires of a particular employer - [Restaurant schedule template](https://rotazo.com/industries/restaurants/restaurant-schedule-template/): the guides explain what each shift and each rotating pattern is and how a crew's schedule is laid out, never what the law requires of a particular employer - [Restaurant labor cost](https://rotazo.com/industries/restaurants/restaurant-labor-cost/): the guides explain what each shift and each rotating pattern is and how a crew's schedule is laid out, never what the law requires of a particular employer ## Answers - [2nd shift hours](https://rotazo.com/answers/second-shift-hours/) - [3rd shift hours](https://rotazo.com/answers/third-shift-hours/) - [1st shift hours](https://rotazo.com/answers/first-shift-hours/) - [graveyard shift meaning](https://rotazo.com/answers/graveyard-shift/) - [swing shift hours](https://rotazo.com/answers/swing-shift/) - [mid shift hours](https://rotazo.com/answers/mid-shift-hours/) - [types of shift](https://rotazo.com/answers/types-of-shift/) - [roster meaning](https://rotazo.com/answers/roster-meaning/) - [2-2-3 schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/2-2-3-schedule/) - [2-2-3 work schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/2-2-3-work-schedule/) - [pitman schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/pitman-schedule/) - [panama schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/panama-schedule/) - [9/80 work schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/9-80-work-schedule/) - [9x80](https://rotazo.com/answers/9x80-schedule/) - [4 on 4 off schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/4-on-4-off-schedule/) - [12 hour shift schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/12-hour-shift-schedule/) - [24 hour shift schedule template](https://rotazo.com/answers/24-hour-shift-schedule/) - [10 hour shift schedule](https://rotazo.com/answers/10-hour-shift-schedule/) - [double shift](https://rotazo.com/answers/double-shift/) - [split shift](https://rotazo.com/answers/split-shift/) - [open shifts](https://rotazo.com/answers/open-shifts/) - [rotating schedule generator free](https://rotazo.com/answers/rotating-schedule-generator-free/) - [roster management software](https://rotazo.com/answers/roster-management-software/) - [salon scheduling](https://rotazo.com/answers/salon-scheduling/) - [staffing and scheduling](https://rotazo.com/answers/staffing-and-scheduling/) - [workforce scheduling](https://rotazo.com/answers/workforce-scheduling/) - [scheduling software for retail stores](https://rotazo.com/answers/scheduling-software-for-retail-stores/) - [labor percentage calculator](https://rotazo.com/answers/labor-percentage-calculator/) ## Pricing - Free to use.
