Choosing the right rota software is more than just ticking boxes. For UK hospitality teams, the wrong tool can waste hours, cause missed shifts, or frustrate your team.
If you’ve tried generic apps like BrightHR or Rotacloud, you might’ve noticed one thing: they weren’t built just for hospitality.
That’s why UK restaurants, bars, and hotels are switching to Alphanomic the best rota software for hospitality in 2025.
What Generic Rota Apps Miss
Most rota tools claim to simplify scheduling, but here’s what many don’t do well:
No real-time shift alerts
Limited integration with leave/holiday tracking
Poor support for split shifts or multi-role staff
One-size-fits-all interface (not restaurant-specific)
Mobile apps often clunky or require paid upgrades
