Rosterem review
A restaurant roster tool that connects scheduling with labour costs, tasks, and coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Rosterem is workforce scheduling software for cafés and restaurants, with a focus on small and medium-sized hospitality businesses. It covers front-of-house, back-of-house, and bar rosters, including split shifts, casual staff, and part-time workers. Managers can create weekly schedules, track leave, approve employee-initiated shift swaps, and review coverage gaps. Staff can access rosters and clock in or out through the app, while teams can receive announcements, push notifications, and direct messages.
The product’s strongest distinction is its connection between scheduling and labour oversight. Live labour-cost estimates sit alongside actual-versus-budgeted hour comparisons, giving managers a way to monitor staffing decisions as rosters change. Reports also cover labour costs, hours, leave balances, and coverage gaps. Reusable opening, mid-shift, and closing task lists add operational structure beyond the roster itself. This makes Rosterem a fit for teams that want scheduling and daily venue coordination in one product, rather than a narrowly focused calendar.
The published plans show a Trial tier at AUD 0 per user per month, with scheduling, timesheets, leave management, approved shift swapping, communications, tasking, reporting, and a free onboarding session. Unlimited adds priority support, access to new features, and cancellation at any time. Enterprise adds multi-venue management, a dedicated account manager, custom onboarding, volume pricing, and custom integrations on request. Rosterem suits restaurant operators prioritising labour-cost visibility and venue workflows; teams needing payroll export, award-rate integration, or offline mobile access should consider alternatives until those capabilities are available.
