Key Features

Drag-and-Drop Shift Blocks

On the web, click any empty slot to add a shift, then drag or resize it to set start/end times.

Copy to Next Week

Publish your weekly rota once, then hit "Copy" to duplicate all shifts into the following week for quick adjustments.

Mobile Sync & Employee View

As soon as you publish, employees see their personalized schedule in the Employee App → Work Schedule. They can tap any day to view details, notes, or request shift swaps.

Work Availability Requests

From the mobile app, staff tap Work Availability, select full-day, half-day, or unavailable, and submit. Their choices appear instantly in iRota, color-coded for easy reading.

Color-Coded Calendar

Green = Available (Full Day), Half-Green = Half Day, Gray = Unavailable. Managers get an at-a-glance view of who’s free and when.

Custom Notes & Annotations

Add day-specific notes—like “Chef training off-site”—directly on any rota cell. Employees see these notes in their mobile view.

Password-Protected Sharing

Click "Generate Link", check "Require Password", and share a secure, read-only rota with external partners or senior staff.

On-the-Go Rota Creation

Managers can also create or adjust rotas entirely from the mobile app—no desktop needed. Tap “+” on any date to add shifts, set times, and save.
