ShiftBookBuild the week's rota and see the hours, the cost and the gaps before you publish it.

ShiftBook is an Excel staff rota: type start and end times for the week and it works out paid hours after breaks, overtime, cost per person and per day, labour cost as a percentage of your sales forecast, who is over their maximum or under their contracted hours, and hour-by-hour cover against the number of people you need.

Made for cafes, restaurants, shops and small teams that work in shifts. Works with Microsoft Excel 2010 or later.

Why buy it instead of building it

Checked against an independent calculation

Before release, every formula is compared with a separate model, including edited data and deliberately bad entries.

Questions

Does it handle shifts past midnight?

Yes — type the end time (e.g. 02:00) and it counts as the next morning.

How is labour % calculated?

Labour cost for the day divided by the sales forecast you enter for that day.
