What it replaces

Rota, labour and service charge without three subscriptions.

Rotaready, Deputy or Planday

A separate rota app, usually charged per staff member. Here the rota comes with every plan, with no per-user fees.

Fourth or Harri

Large workforce suites with long contracts. You get rota, labour cost and service charge sharing next to your bookings and sales.

Tronc spreadsheets

Working out the tronc by hand at the end of the week. Here the split is worked out from hours worked for each service, with a record kept.

YOUR AI TEAM, ON THE ROTA

It spots short shifts before they happen

It works around the clock once you switch it on. Nothing goes out without your approval.

Staffing cover check

Each week it compares the coming rota with expected demand and flags shifts that look short.

Rota changes drafted

It can draft a change to the rota for a manager to approve. Nothing changes until someone says yes.

A monthly look back

Busy and quiet days, sites under pressure and what to plan for next month, written in plain English.

Set up by real people, supported by AI. An mDOS Expert Partner sets up your staff, roles and pay rates with you, and the AI team checks cover once you switch it on.

Switch at your own pace

Start with the rota and add labour cost and service charge sharing when you’re ready. Keep your current rota app while its contract runs out, we move your staff list across, and we plan the switch with you.

How switching works

Three things no one else brings together

A rota is only right if it matches demand. mDOS adds AI agents that spot short shifts, and a team that sets up your staff with you.

WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS

Keep the tools that work for you. Replace the ones that don't.

Already using a till, a payment provider or booking sites you like? mDOS works alongside them, or takes over when you’re ready.

Keep it. We connect to the systems you already rely on, so data flows into one place.
Or replace it. Switch over when you're ready, one system at a time. It's all included in mDOS.

Questions about rota and labour

Yes. Shifts show in the staff app, so the team always has the latest rota.
Yes. Labour cost and service charge sharing use clock-ins and sales from the mDOS till, which is in Beta. The rota itself works without it.
Service charge is pooled for each service and shared by hours worked, or equally if you choose, and every split is recorded. Card tips are reported separately and aren’t added to the pool.
It helps you share service charge fairly and keep a record of every split. You stay responsible for your written tipping policy and for meeting the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 and its code of practice.
No. There are no per-user fees, however many people are on your rota.
Yes. We bring your staff list across, and you can run both side by side while your current contract runs out.
