Run the week without the spreadsheet.

The essentials every shift-based business needs — free for small teams.

Rostering

Build the week in minutes, and know what it costs.

A visual week grid shows every shift by location, with a headcount strip so you can see the gaps at a glance.

  • Shifts on 15-minute steps, across all your locations
  • Hours and estimated wage cost for the week and the day, per location
  • Copy last week in one tap — anyone who's marked themselves unavailable is left off
  • Staff see their shifts and who they're working with, straight away
Schedule
Schedule grid with coloured shifts per person and a people-on strip
Time clock

Clock in from the phone. See who's on, live.

Every punch belongs to a rostered shift, so there's no guessing what someone was working. Managers see today's shifts and who's in, as it happens.

  • One big button: Clock In, Clock Out — server time, not the phone's
  • Breaks with your own types, paid or unpaid
  • Clock-in opens an hour before the shift starts
  • Today's board: rostered vs actual for every shift, at every location

Timesheets & payroll summary

Hours you can trust, ready for your payroll.

Scheduled vs actual hours and pay for the pay period, by employee and by location — with your rounding and super settings applied.

  • Weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay periods, per location
  • Hour rounding applied once per person per period, never compounded
  • Fix a missed clock-out with a required note — every change is audited
  • Download timesheets and the summary as a PDF

  • Their own hours this week: scheduled vs actual
  • Mark the times they can't work — managers see it while rostering

Roles that make sense

Owners, managers and staff each see what they need — and nothing they don't.

Change log · included in every plan

Every change, on the record.

Who moved a shift, fixed a punch, counted stock or sent an order — and exactly what it was before. When a question comes up on payday, the answer is one search away.

  • Before → after for every edit: shift times and assignees, clock-ins and outs, stock counts, purchase orders, settings and users
  • Fixing someone's hours needs a written reason — it's shown right in the log
  • When, where, by whom and about whom — with a link straight to the record
  • Filter by date, location, person or area, and search names, PO numbers and items
  • A busy count shows as one tidy entry: "Alex updated 12 stock items"
  • Entries can't be edited or deleted — not even by the owner

CrewConnect Pro PRO

Run the shop floor, not just the roster.

Pro adds the jobs that happen between clocking in and clocking out: the opening and closing routine, what's on the shelf, and what to order.

Shift checklists

Open and close right, every shift.

Replace paper startup and closing sheets with one shared checklist on every phone — and see exactly who did each task, and when.

  • A startup and closeup list for each trading session
  • Every tick records the person and the time; late ticks are stamped in red
  • Weekly report: completion, startup vs opening time, most-missed tasks
  • Flags ticks made off shift, bursts of ticks, back-filled days and unticks
Checklist report

Stock control

Know what's on the shelf — before you run out.

Live stock levels for every location, counted on a phone by the people you nominate, with a restock list that builds itself.

  • Cartons and packs, green or red against each item's minimum
  • Counts save themselves as you tap, with Undo
  • Order lists for fresh produce: record how much to buy
  • Finish a check to freeze it: history, restock list and a PDF
Stock
Stock levels by category with on-hand and minimum chips

Purchase orders

From restock list to supplier inbox in two taps.

Draft one purchase order per supplier from what's running low, approve it, and email a branded PDF — then add the delivery to stock when it arrives.

  • Staff prepare and submit; an owner approves and sends
  • Numbered per location, supplier and financial year
  • Your logo, delivery details, terms and GST totals on the PDF
  • Mark received — short deliveries included — and stock updates itself; nothing gets ordered twice

Running real venues across Western Sydney.

We used to run two kitchens off paper — a startup sheet on the wall, a stock sheet on a clipboard and supplier orders typed into a notes app. Now Blacktown and Vineyard run the same opening and closing checklists on everyone's phone, stock gets counted in minutes, and our orders go to suppliers as a proper PDF. When the vegetables arrive, whoever's on shift marks them received and the stock is right.

Rostering two stores used to take my Sunday night. Now I copy last week, fix a few shifts and it's out — and I can see the wage cost before I publish. Staff clock in on their own phones at whichever store they're working, and pay day is a PDF instead of a calculator.

On the roadmap

What we're building next.

Planned, not promised — tell us what matters most to your business and we'll prioritise it.

Planned

Roster notifications

Email and push when the roster is out, a shift changes, or someone's running late.

Planned

Leave requests & approvals

Staff request leave in the app; managers approve it and the roster knows.

Planned

Shift swaps & open shifts

Offer a shift to the team and let staff swap — with a manager's OK.

Planned

Clock-in on site

Optional location check so clock-ins only count at the venue.

Planned

Payroll export

Send approved timesheets to Xero and other payroll providers.

Planned

Award rates & penalties

Weekend, night and public-holiday rates in the wage estimate.

Idea

Labour cost vs sales

Bring in daily sales from your POS and see wages as a percentage.

Idea

Food safety records

Fridge temperatures and cleaning logs alongside your checklists.

Questions

Good to know.

Do my staff need to download an app?

No. CrewConnect works in the phone's browser and can be added to the home screen like an app — no app store, nothing to update.

What counts as a user?

Each active staff member — owners, managers and employees. Deactivated staff don't count.

What happens when I grow past 5 staff?

Starter is free for teams of up to 5. Bigger teams move to Pro, which is $5 per user per month and adds checklists, stock and purchase orders.

Can I run more than one location?

Yes, on every plan. Staff can work at any location, and each location has its own settings, time zone, checklists and stock.

Does CrewConnect pay my staff?

No — it gives you accurate hours and a pay summary for the period, which you or your bookkeeper take into your payroll system. A direct payroll export is on the roadmap.

Where is my data stored?

In Sydney, Australia, on Supabase (PostgreSQL), with the app hosted on Vercel.

Is setup really free?

Yes. On every plan we set up your locations, staff, settings, checklists, stock items and suppliers from what you already use, and help you get your first roster out. There's no setup fee.

How does the 50% off offer work?

New Pro customers pay $2.50 per user per month for their first 3 months. After that, Pro is $5 per user per month.

Who answers when I need help?

Our own team in Australia — the people who build CrewConnect. We reply within one business day. Book a call, email hello@rooworks.app or chat on WhatsApp.

Can I try Pro before paying?

Yes — sign up free, then request Pro from any Pro page in the app and we'll get in touch to set you up.

Get next week's roster out tonight.

We'll set you up for free, with support from Australia. Starter is free for up to 5 staff, and Pro is 50% off for your first 3 months.
