Eliminate time theft and end the paper timesheet shuffle
Set up any cheap iPad or Android tablet at your kitchen door or bar entrance. Staff clock in with a 4-digit PIN and quick facial photo. Timesheets generate automatically, rounding exact minutes and flagging unapproved overtime.
Complies with HIGA mandatory 30-minute unpaid meal break rules after 5 continuous work hours.
Approve 50 timesheets in 2 minutes. Approved hours and penalties push straight to your pay run.
“We run 6 busy pub venues across Sydney. Sunday penalty rates used to be a weekly nightmare of Excel spreadsheets and manual payroll corrections. Switching from Deputy to Rostey saved our managers 12 hours every week and cut our payroll errors to zero.”
Marcus Thornton
Managing Director, Craftworks Hospitality Group (Sydney)
Frequently asked hospitality questions
Does Rostey handle split-shift allowances under the HIGA Award?
Yes. Rostey detects when an employee works two separate shifts in the same calendar day with a break exceeding 2 hours, automatically applying the mandatory HIGA split-shift allowance to their timesheet.
Can we migrate existing rosters and staff lists from Deputy?
Absolutely. Our hospitality onboarding team handles your data migration completely free of charge. You can import staff profiles, pay rates, and recurring shift templates in under 15 minutes.
Can casual staff swap shifts without calling a manager?
Yes. Staff initiate shift swaps on the Rostey mobile app. The system ensures the substitute employee holds matching certifications (e.g. RSA, Barista) before pinging the manager for a 1-tap final approval.
