Does Scoop HQ work for bars and cafés as well as restaurants?

Yes. Any venue with shift-based staff can use it. You choose which modules to switch on, so a café that doesn't need a drivers rota simply doesn't see it.

Can managers only see their own venue?

Yes. Managers and team leaders see the sites they're responsible for, while owners and admins can see every site.

How do staff get access?

You invite them by email or share a join link. They download the app or use it in a browser, and only see what their role allows.

By team size: a monthly price up to a set number of users, then a small amount for every extra 10 people, with no upper limit. See the pricing page for details.

For restaurants, cafés & bars

Staff management built for restaurants, cafés and bars

Front of house and kitchen, full-timers and weekend staff, one site or several. Scoop HQ puts rotas, clocking in, holidays, training, checklists and food safety in one app, so managers spend less time chasing and more time on the floor.

Rotas that keep labour costs in check

See the cost of the rota as you build it, then compare it with what was actually worked once people clock in and out. Smart Rota suggests staffing levels hour by hour from your sales history, so you're not overstaffed on a quiet Tuesday.

Holidays and shift swaps without the back-and-forth

Staff request time off and swap shifts in the app. Managers approve with a tap, and blocked dates protect your busiest weekends.

Train new starters the same way, every time

Build training in short lessons with quizzes, assign it to new starters, and see who has finished. Consistent training means consistent service, whoever is on shift.

Checklists and food safety, done and recorded

Opening, closing and cleaning checklists with photo proof, plus digital temperature checks, food probes, cooling and delivery records, all timed and signed by the person who did them.

One app instead of five

Most venues juggle a rota tool, a WhatsApp group, a paper food safety diary, a holiday spreadsheet and a folder of training notes. Scoop HQ replaces the lot, and your team only has one app to learn.
