The F&B roster problem, honestly stated.

  • Covers swing hard between a quiet Tuesday and a full Saturday — but the roster is a copy of last week's.
  • Stations need the right people: someone on the pass, someone who can run the bar, a host who speaks the guests' language.
  • Split shifts, casuals, and last-minute leave requests turn Sunday afternoon into a puzzle with no good answer.
  • One closing-then-opening double slips through, and someone runs a lunch service on five hours of sleep.

How RosterProject rosters an F&B outlet.

Your week, saved as a template

Set how many floor, bar and kitchen-support staff each service needs — once. Save it as a weekly template, apply it to any week or month (or copy last period), tweak the busy days, then generate.

Stations and skills respected

Tag who can work the bar, the pass, the floor, the host stand. The AI only assigns people to stations they're qualified for — every shift, automatically.

Rest rules that can't slip

Minimum rest between shifts, no closing-then-opening doubles, at least one rest day in seven, contracted hours respected. Hard rules are constraints — the roster physically can't break them.

Published where your team lives

One tap formats the roster for your WhatsApp group, and every waiter, bartender and runner has a personal link to see shifts and request days off — no app, no password.

Rules every generated roster obeys

  • At least one rest day in every seven
  • Minimum rest between shifts — no closing-then-opening
  • Maximum consecutive working days
  • Contracted vs casual hours per person
  • Approved leave and day-off requests
  • Station coverage by qualified staff only

Restaurant rostering, answered.

How does RosterProject handle busy versus quiet services?+

You set the staffing each service needs, station by station — heavier Fridays, lighter Tuesdays — and save it as a weekly template you can apply to any week or month and adjust in seconds. Demand-matched staffing means quiet shifts stop carrying Saturday's headcount.

Can it roster split shifts and casual staff?+

Yes. A split working day — lunch and dinner service with a proper break in between — is a single shift you define with its break, and only the worked hours count toward hours and labor cost. Each person carries their own contract type — contracted hours are respected for full-timers while casuals are scheduled within their availability.

What about the bar versus the floor versus the host stand?+

Stations are first-class: you set demand per station per shift, tag each person's skills, and the AI fills every station with someone qualified — or tells you in plain English which station can't be covered and why.

We run several outlets — a restaurant, a lobby bar, in-room dining. How does that work?+

Each outlet gets its own roster and its own team page. Staff belong to their home outlet, so each venue's roster stays clean and accountable.

Next week's roster, before tonight's service.

Set up your outlet once — or load the demo restaurant — and judge the AI on your own team.
