Supe AI Rota Generation

Tell Supe how many people you need and when. It builds your rota in seconds — using your team's contracts, availability, and working patterns to get it right first time. You review, tweak if needed, and publish. Done.

Friday night needs six on the floor and three in the kitchen. Supe knows who's available, who's already at their contracted hours, and who worked a double yesterday. Your rota is ready before your coffee is.

Weekly Rota Management

A drag-and-drop weekly grid built for how hospitality actually works. Create shifts, assign staff, manage drafts, and publish when you're ready. Copy last week's rota and adjust — or start fresh. Your team sees their shifts instantly.

Your Monday rota is almost identical to last week — two staff changes. Copy the week, swap two names, publish. Five minutes, not fifty.

Holiday pay, the way the rules want it

Three employee types — salaried, hourly, zero-hours — each calculated the right way. 12.07% accrual where it applies. The 52-week reference period running properly across pay cycles. Rolled-up holiday pay for irregular-hours staff if that's your model, with the separate payslip line the law requires.

Your zero-hours kitchen porter takes a week off. Suparota looks at her last 52 paid weeks, drops the empty ones, calculates the average, and outputs the right pound figure for payroll. She gets paid correctly. You don't see the maths.

The April 2026 record-keeping duty asks for six years of retention covering entitlements, taken leave, carry-over, and pay calculations. We write that record automatically, every time you lock a payroll period. Plain-English guide here →

Tronc that knows what tronc is

Native, not a partner integration. Hours-based or points-based, with proper points weighting for FOH, BOH, sections, anything you want. A Troncmaster role with override rights — and a clean record of every override. Cover staff included. HMRC-friendly export and a three-year audit trail that does what the Tipping Act asks of it.

Service charge for the week is £2,400. Suparota splits it across your team by your rules — points or hours, with cover bartenders weighted in for the Saturday they actually worked. Your Troncmaster reviews, tweaks the one allocation that needs a manual eye, signs it off. Five minutes, not five emails.

Heads up: the Palanki v Big Table Group tribunal in 2025 set a direction on tronc and holiday pay we think every operator should know about. Plain-English breakdown here →

Punch Clock & Time Tracking

Staff clock in and out from their phone. Managers see who's on shift in real time and approve hours at the end of the week. Scheduled hours vs actual hours — visible at a glance, no guesswork.

Your closing barman clocked out at 1:14am instead of midnight. You see it, approve the extra time, and it flows straight into payroll. No paper timesheets, no arguments.

Cover Shifts & Shift Swaps

Someone calls in sick? Create a cover shift and notify available staff instantly. Shift swaps between colleagues are handled in-app — visible to managers, no side-channel chaos.

Your waitress texts at 2pm — she can't make the evening shift. You post a cover shift from your phone. Three people respond in ten minutes. Gap filled, service saved.

Payroll Reports & Labour Cost Visibility

See your wage costs before you publish the rota — not after. Payroll reports pull together contracted hours, actual hours, overtime, and breaks. Export-ready for your accountant or payroll provider. Split shifts and breaks calculated correctly.

You're building next week's rota and the labour cost is showing 38% of projected revenue. You pull one shift, bring it down to 34%, and publish. Decision made before the week even starts.

The receipts. For when you need them.

Lock a payroll period and Suparota writes an immutable snapshot of every figure that goes into it — calculation provenance, holiday balance at the moment of lock, which adjustments were applied, who locked it, when. Six years' retention, automatic.

If anyone ever asks how a number was reached — your accountant, your payroll provider, an inspector with a clipboard — you don't go hunting. You hand over the snapshot.

Owner-only by default. Other roles see the report; only the people you choose can lock it.

Team Management & Onboarding

Add staff individually or import your whole team from a spreadsheet. Employee profiles track contracts, hourly rates, shift types, and working days. A data completeness system tells you exactly what's missing before you run payroll or generate a rota. Your team accesses everything from their phone — shifts, holidays, and availability.

You're opening a new venue and need 15 staff set up by Friday. Upload your spreadsheet, Supe maps the columns, and your team is ready to schedule. No re-typing names into another system.
