Roz is AI rostering software for Australian restaurants and hospitality venues. It builds front of house and kitchen cover around each service — lunch, dinner and the Saturday double — checks rest, and messages staff to confirm.
14-day free trial · no card · then $49 a month (incl. GST) for one restaurant with up to 15 staff.
Set lunch and dinner cover for kitchen and floor separately. Roz fills both and flags a short service before the week goes out.
A minimum-rest rule catches a late close followed by an early prep shift.
Staff message Roz on WhatsApp or Telegram. The request lands in your approvals queue with suggested cover.
Add roles for chef, cook, kitchen hand, floor and bar. Set lunch and dinner timeslots.
Four on the floor for Friday dinner, two for Tuesday lunch. Set kitchen cover the same way.
It keeps kitchen people in the kitchen, fits each person's contract and availability, and shares out the Friday and Saturday nights.
A cook calls in sick at 3pm. Ask Roz who can cover dinner. It lists people who are available and within their rules.
Only tagged chefs on chef shifts. Only RSA holders on bar shifts.
10 hours minimum between shifts.
Keep casuals and students inside their limits.
Roz warns before a chef works six nights straight.
"No split shifts for Maria" as a soft preference Roz weighs.
Private-event days, closures, planned leave.
Most Australian restaurants roster under the Restaurant Industry Award (MA000119) or the Hospitality Industry (General) Award (MA000009). Roz doesn't interpret either award or calculate a split-shift allowance, but you can set a minimum-rest rule for the gap between a late close and an early start, and Roz flags any roster that breaks it. Check your own obligations on the Fair Work Ombudsman website.
Roz doesn't interpret the Restaurant Industry Award or the Hospitality Industry (General) Award, and it doesn't calculate penalty rates or split-shift allowances — keep timesheets and payroll in your own tool. Roz also doesn't connect to your booking system; set cover per service yourself.
Yes. Give each person their roles, set cover per role and service, and Roz fills each one.
You can roster lunch and dinner as two shifts on the same day. Roz checks both against the person's hours and rest rules. It doesn't calculate any split-shift allowance — that's a payroll item.
Yes. Set a minimum-rest rule. Roz flags any pair of shifts that breaks it.
No. Roz does the roster. Most restaurants roster under the Restaurant Industry Award or the Hospitality Industry (General) Award — your payroll tool handles the rates.
Up to 15 staff: Lite, $49 a month. Up to 60 staff across 3 sites: Starter, $79 a month for your first 12 months, then $149. All prices include GST.
Yes. Staff request swaps and pickups by WhatsApp, Telegram or the app, and you approve each one.
Export your staff list and last roster from Deputy as a spreadsheet and upload it to Roz — it imports the staff and shifts. Roz doesn't do timesheets or pay, so keep a payroll tool for those. See Roz vs Deputy.
Your roster data is stored in Sydney. Roz's AI runs on Claude, made by Anthropic, which doesn't train on your data. Roz suggests changes, and no roster change goes out until you approve it. Read more on our security page.
