What does the scheduling cover?

Building and publishing the rota, shift swaps, time-off requests, a time clock, tips pooling, and the flow into payroll and your P&L — all inside Kitchra.

Does it connect to hours and pay?

Yes — the time clock records real hours and tips distribute on your rules, and both flow into payroll and finances, so labour cost reconciles instead of being estimated.

Can staff swap shifts themselves?

Yes — staff request swaps and time off in the same place they see their schedule, so coverage gets sorted without a dozen texts.

Is it a separate app?

No — scheduling, time clock and tips are part of the same flat monthly plan as your ordering site, kitchen and finances.

How hard is it to start?

Add your team and build the week — publish and everyone sees it. No separate install or extra login.

The rota

Build and share the schedule fast

Put the week together, publish it, and your team sees who's on — no group-text chaos or a whiteboard nobody checks. Because it lives with the rest of the restaurant, the rota sits next to the sales and prep that should shape it.

Swaps & time off

Cover shifts without the scramble

Staff request swaps and time off in the same place they see their schedule, so a gap gets filled without a dozen texts. Fewer no-shows, fewer last-minute holes, less of your evening spent chasing coverage.

Clock & tips

Hours and tips that reconcile

The time clock records real hours, tips pool and distribute on your rules, and it all flows into payroll and your P&L — so labour cost is a number you can watch, not a monthly surprise. Wages and tips reconcile because they're one system.

One platform

Not another staffing app

Scheduling here isn't a separate subscription — it's part of the same flat plan as ordering, kitchen, stock and finances. One login for the whole restaurant, front of house and back.
