About CaterShift
CaterShift is a specialized staff scheduling platform engineered specifically for the UK hospitality sector. The web-based system enables managers of pubs, restaurants, hotels, cafes, retail units, and bars to generate legally compliant rotas, manage wage expenditures, and disseminate schedules promptly. Designed to accommodate the dynamic staffing demands of establishments that operate across variable shifts and peak loads, the platform delivers a unified interface for smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The system provides a comprehensive toolkit for schedule creation while enforcing compliance with UK employment regulations. Live checks assess adherence to mandatory break provisions, maximum working periods, and minimum rest intervals as defined by local legislation. The real time validation engine surfaces conflicts such as overlapping assignments or Working Time Directive infractions prior to schedule finalisation. Automated verification ensures that potential compliance gaps are identified at the earliest stage of the scheduling process.
The solution streamlines the preparation and distribution of complete staff schedules within moments by leveraging intuitive workflows and validated templates. Integrated cost management modules generate detailed reports and graphical representations of labour expenditure. Transparency into spending patterns supports informed staffing decisions while maintaining operational budgets. Consistent access to these capabilities across devices enables managers to implement adjustments in real time.

Overall, I’m amazed. It’s so easy to use yet so thorough in its ability. The quality is better than my online banking and the cost is right where I need it to be.
Pros
The ability to duplicate shifts
How it keeps track of worker time off requests and how it stops me from accidentally scheduling someone when they are not available
I like how my staff access the schedule from a link without having to install an app or remember a password
How it tells me if the schedule violates the Working Time Directive so that I don’t stress about it
How I can easily see how much a schedule is costing me, broken down in so many ways.
Cons
When you add a new employee, you cannot immediately schedule a pay-rise. You have to add the employee then go back and edit the employee to schedule the pay-rise. Now that I know, it is simple but it was not immediately obvious.
