Product Roadmap

Copy last week into an empty week, save any week as your usual week and start from it, and leave a shift open for staff to claim from their phone, first tap wins.

Before you publish a hand-built or copied week, Batch runs the same rules the AI uses over it: approved leave, days marked unavailable, hours nobody covers, staffing needs, 48-hour weeks, rest between shifts, days in a row. Fill the gaps with AI from the same panel.

Publish and staff get a notification on their phone as well as an email. A reminder before each shift, one, two or 24 hours ahead, each person chooses. Swap requests now notify the colleague and the managers.

Holiday accrued at 12.07% of hours worked on the hours report and in every payroll format, with optional rolled-up holiday pay lines for BrightPay, Sage, Xero and QuickBooks.

The compliance page tracks reasonable notice, short-notice pay and guaranteed-hours offers against the proposed 2027 thresholds, and you can set the numbers per venue. Labelled a preview until the regulations are written.

A rota is a draft until you press Publish. Then each person whose shifts changed gets one email with their week and what changed, and the app shows you who has looked since.

Timesheet CSV in each provider's import layout, clocked hours where staff clocked in, scheduled hours otherwise.

Staff clock in and out from their phone. Working-time findings, short-notice shifts and guaranteed-hours watch lists in one place, exportable.

Post an update to the whole team, pin the important ones.

A full week from availability, approved leave, roles, staffing needs and UK working-time rules, with clarifying questions before it guesses.

Staff request swaps with a reason; managers approve with context. Hours per person and period, saved reports, Ask AI.

Not a feature, but the thing the site is missing: one named venue, how many shifts it built, how long publishing takes, how many staff open the app.

See who has read an announcement, so "I never saw it" stops being an answer.

For staff without an email address: a code by text instead of a login link.

One dashboard for a group. Share staff across sites, roll reporting up.

Push hours straight into Xero and Sage rather than through a CSV.

Suggested staffing from your own history, local events and the weather. Square and Toast sales data if there is demand for it.
