Chaos is where we thrive
Rota software has a hospitality problem.
Most scheduling tools were built for offices. By people who've never drafted a rota whilst running the pass.
The rules changed in April. Your software didn't get the memo.
Day-one SSP. Six-year holiday records. Tipping Act compliance with proper teeth. The Fair Work Agency does inspections now. You shouldn't need a solicitor to read your rota software's release notes — but with most of them, you do.
You hired three people to fill one role. Your software charged you for all three.
Hospitality runs at 30% turnover. Your software charges per user like that's a surprise. Every leaver costs you the seat. Every joiner costs you the seat. The vendor calls it growth. You call it the same role, billed three times.
The feature you actually needed? That'll be the next tier up.
Auto-scheduling behind a paywall. Tronc calculations in the enterprise plan. You know the game. We got tired of playing it.
Features
Everything in. Nothing behind a paywall.
One subscription. Every feature. No upgrade conversations.
Supe AI scheduling
Supe builds compliant rotas in seconds — split shifts, clopening constraints, contracted hours, all of it. You set the Rulebook; Supe follows it and shows you exactly what it read before it drafts a thing. Works the double shift so you don't have to.
Supe AI Reports
Ask a question in plain English and get a chart, a table, or a branded PDF back. Ask about one person and you get that person's figures. No report builder, no pivot tables, no exporting to a spreadsheet to find out who worked what last month.
Requests, sorted
Holiday and availability requested from their phone, approved from yours. Shift swaps sorted between staff — swap with a colleague or give your Saturday away — and you just sign off. Partial approvals, manager notes on declines, a clean audit trail for everything. Requests live in the system, not in a group chat someone's muted.
Tronc, properly
Hours-based or points-based, your call. Stacked fixed-percentage carve-outs — 20% off the top to the kitchen, the rest by points. A designated Troncmaster who owns the scheme and runs the allocation, with their own permission to do it. Lock the period and the whole record freezes: allocations, overrides, and the methodology behind them.
Most rota tools either don't do tronc at all or hand you off to a legacy tronc provider on its own per-user subscription. Ours is included, and it doesn't count heads.
The full tronc rules in plain English →Holiday pay, properly
Salaried staff, hourly staff, zero-hours staff — three different sets of rules, all handled. 12.07% accrual, the 52-week reference period, rolled-up holiday pay if that's how you run it. Part-time salaried counted in their own days: 16.8, not 28. The actual pound figure that goes onto payroll, not just an entitlement number.
Your holiday records are retained for the full six years the April 2026 rules ask for. Sorted before you noticed.
Applies to payroll periods you've locked. If you leave, we hand your records back as an export and delete them after 30 days. See our terms.
The full holiday rules in plain English →Sick pay, handled
Mark a shift unpaid, SSP, or company rate. Salaried staff deduct at weekly salary ÷ contracted days. The SSP estimate runs on the April 2026 day-one rules, with the workings on screen — so when someone asks how you reached the number, it's already there.
The full sick pay rules in plain English →Labour cost reporting
Set a weekly budget — a flat £ target or a percentage of sales. Six cost cards above the rota, each with its own department budget. Payroll split by department, in a PDF you can forward. Know your Sunday close number before Sunday close.
Locked means locked
Lock a payroll period and three records freeze together: holiday balances, tronc methodology, and pay. Immutable and enforced in the database — not a setting someone can quietly switch off. Timeline view, snapshot diff, PDF export.
Team notifications
Publish a rota and every affected team member gets notified — push, in-app, email, and WhatsApp. Each person picks their preference in their profile. No print-outs. No pinning things to the fridge.
Built for the rules
Built for the rules. The new ones too.
April 2026 changed how UK employers handle holiday records, sick pay, and tipping. Three rule changes, one Fair Work Agency, no fanfare from anyone else's software.
We've built for all three. Holiday pay calculated end-to-end. Day-one SSP and the new earnings calculation. Tronc that actually does what HMRC's been asking for since 2024.
Then you lock the payroll period, and all three freeze together — holiday balances, tronc methodology, and pay — immutable and enforced in the database. The Fair Work Agency can ask for six years of holiday records. Lock your periods and they're already there.
Applies to payroll periods you've locked. If you leave, we hand your records back as an export and delete them after 30 days. See our terms.

Our story
Built by hospitality.
Priced with honesty.
Twenty-five years of rotas, split shifts, and Sunday closes. That's where Suparota came from. Not a product roadmap. Not a venture fund thesis. A genuine frustration with scheduling tools that didn't understand the industry they were supposed to serve.
Per-user pricing in an industry with 30% annual turnover is not a business model. It's a trap. Every hire costs you money before they've worked a single shift. We decided there was a better way.
£50 per venue. Everything in. We don't grow by hiding features behind paywalls. We grow when your venues do.
The 67-users-for-14-staff GM. The biro on the noticeboard. The principle from the kitchen that fixed the pricing.
