from A$49/mo
AI builds next week's roster from your expected sales, staff availability, skills and award rates, meeting your coverage at the lowest cost within your wage budget. You approve it, and staff see their own shifts on their phone. One flat monthly price for the whole team.
Availability lost in the group chat, and the roster eats your Sunday
A$549 + A$49/mo
Staff text their availability in plain words to one number. AI keeps it in your Sheet, drafts next week's roster from your usual week, flags clashes, and texts everyone their own shifts when you publish.
Someone calls in sick and you're ringing round at 6am
A$429 + A$49/mo
Staff text "sick" to one staff number. AI finds their shift, texts the casuals who are free and can do that role, one at a time in your order, and the first YES fills it once you tap approve.
Penalty rates blow the wage bill before you notice
A$349 + A$15/mo
Send your draft roster as a photo, Excel or CSV. AI reads it into a Sheet that costs every shift at your award's minimum rates and flags the expensive days and rule clashes before you publish.
Availability arrives by group chat. Someone calls in sick at 6 am. The roster looked fine, then Sunday penalty rates and an extra casual on a quiet Tuesday show up when the pays go out. Most owners do the roster on their own time, and most of them guess.
Many rostering apps charge per staff member, so the bill grows with your team. Ours is one flat monthly price for the whole team. If you only need one piece, such as sick-call cover or a cost check, those are smaller fixes you can start with.

What you can do yourself, free
Free option: free and cheaper roster apps exist, and if you are already happy on Deputy or Tanda, keep them. Their open-shift and costing features cover a lot of this, and we will show you the setting rather than sell you something.
Not legal or award advice: costs are estimates at award minimums unless you give us your rates, and you approve every roster.
Where we work
We are based in Western Sydney and set rosters up for cafés, shops and clinics in Blacktown, Seven Hills, Parramatta, Penrith, Castle Hill and Rouse Hill. Setup is done online, so we can help any business in Sydney or elsewhere in Australia.
Quick answers
Our AI roster planner is one flat monthly price for the whole team, with no per-staff fees, starting at the lowest tier shown above. Pay annually and you get 12 months for the price of 10.
Not if you set it up yourself, and you get 30 days free. Done-for-you setup is a one-off fee (free on annual). A custom build is only needed if your POS cannot be connected, you are on another award or agreement, or you need multi-site rules.
The General Retail Award is ready out of the box, including casual loading, junior rates, Sunday and public holiday penalties, overtime and a super estimate. Other awards are a custom build. Costs are estimates, not legal or award advice.
No. It gives you an export for Xero, MYOB or Employment Hero, and your payroll does the pays and STP.
Yes. Staff see their own shifts on their phone, or you share the roster as an image to WhatsApp. Automatic SMS is an add-on at cost plus a small monthly fee.
Not necessarily. If they work for you, keep them. We will tell you honestly whether we would add anything.
Self setup can start today. Done-for-you setup has a working first version in about 5 working days once we have your staff list and rules.
