Build Pub & Bar Rotas in Minutes for Every Role.

Running a pub or bar means juggling bar staff, floor and waiting staff, cellar crew, kitchen teams, and duty managers, usually on very different shift patterns. ShiftGuard makes pub rota software simple. You build a full week in minutes and share it with the team in a tap, with split shifts, late-night service, and weekend peaks all planned in - no endless spreadsheets or group chats. And when a match day, beer festival, or live event sends footfall surging, you can scale up cover fast so the bar is never caught short. Everyone sees their shifts on their phone, so there's no confusion about who's working and when.

Track Lateness, No-Shows
and Attendance in Real Time.

In a busy bar, one no-show at peak service can leave you short behind the pumps and on the floor when it matters most. ShiftGuard gives you real-time attendance, so you always know who's arrived, who's running late, and who hasn't turned up. Staff clock in on-site and their status updates instantly, so a duty manager can call in cover before a Friday night rush turns into chaos. Late starts and missed shifts are flagged automatically, cutting the no-shows that quietly cost you sales and good service. And because every shift is logged accurately, payroll stays tidy and you've got a clear record of who worked when.

Holiday & Shift-Swap Management for a High-Turnover Team.

Pubs and bars often run on part-time, student, and seasonal staff, so holiday requests and shift swaps come thick and fast. ShiftGuard takes the admin out of bar staff scheduling by letting your team request holiday and swap shifts straight from their phones, with managers approving in a tap. You can see who's already off before you sign anything off, so you never accidentally leave a shift uncovered. For your younger team members, ShiftGuard helps you keep an eye on young-worker hour limits under the Working Time Regulations, even when rotas change at short notice. No more cover gaps the morning after. No more guessing who's owed a weekend off. Just a rota your team can count on.

Yes. ShiftGuard is built for the realities of a busy bar, so you can roster split shifts, late finishes, and overnight clean-downs with ease. You can assign bar staff, floor staff, cellar crew, kitchen teams, and duty managers to the exact hours you need, then share the finished rota instantly with the whole team. Because everyone sees their shifts on their phone, there is no confusion about an early door, a mid-afternoon gap, or a late lock-up, and you spend far less time fielding messages about who is on next.

When a match day, beer festival, or live event sends footfall soaring, you can quickly add extra cover and see at a glance whether every shift is properly staffed. ShiftGuard makes it easy to build busier rotas for Friday and Saturday nights or one-off events, then compare them against quieter midweek trade. Real-time attendance means you spot late arrivals and no-shows early, so a duty manager can call in support before a weekend peak leaves the bar short-handed and service starts to slip.

Yes. Bar staff scheduling is far simpler when your team can request holiday and swap shifts straight from their phones. Managers approve or decline in a tap and can see who is already off before signing anything off, which keeps shifts covered and reduces last-minute gaps in a high-turnover, part-time team. Students and seasonal workers can flag their availability around exams and term times, so you build realistic rotas the first time and avoid the scramble of finding cover at the last minute on a busy night.

ShiftGuard helps you keep track of young-worker hour limits under the Working Time Regulations, so you can roster part-time and student staff with confidence. With every shift planned and logged in one place, you have a clear, shared record of who worked when, which supports compliance even when your rota changes at short notice. That makes it much easier to keep under-18 hours sensible during busy weekends and school holidays, and to show exactly what was scheduled if you are ever asked.

Yes. Whether you run a single pub or a multi-venue group, ShiftGuard lets you manage rotas, attendance, and availability across every site from one place. You can assign staff to different venues, move trusted team members between bars to cover a busy night, and keep oversight of coverage wherever your people are working. Area managers get a clear picture across the estate, while each venue still has its own rota, so nothing falls through the cracks as you grow.

Absolutely. Every minute worked is captured through on-site clock-in, so your hours are accurate and easy to reconcile at payroll instead of relying on memory or scribbled timesheets. Reliable attendance data also helps you spot patterns, keep wage costs in line with how busy each session really was, and build fair, transparent reports across your whole bar team. That accuracy protects both you and your staff, and saves hours of admin every time payroll comes around.
