The Problems
01

The weekly grind

Every Sunday, you sit down to plan next week's rota. Same spreadsheet. Same copy-paste chaos.

You're cross-referencing WhatsApp messages, trying to remember who asked for Tuesday off, wondering who needs more hours. It takes hours, and you've still got a business to run.

The 6am scramble

It's 6am. Your phone buzzes. Someone can't make their shift.

Now you're scrolling through contacts, calling people who won't pick up, hoping someone's available. By the time you've found cover, you're already stressed before the day's even started.
