Build your store rota in minutes

Create opening, mid, and closing shifts. Assign staff, set break times, and publish the rota at the click of a button. Copy last week's rota as a starting point and adjust for leave or extra cover.

  • All shift types supported

    Early, late, split shifts, and Sunday trading hours — full flexibility for retail patterns

  • Copy rotas week to week

    Saves time — start from last week's rota and tweak rather than building from scratch

  • Automatic staff notifications

    Staff are alerted when rotas are published or their shifts change — no chasing needed

Staff see their shifts on their phone

The moment you publish the rota, every assigned team member can see their shifts in the TimeTally app. No more photos of a paper rota in the group chat, no more "what time am I in?" messages. Shift patterns and absence records are also visible from the same app.

  • Instant shift access

    Every team member sees their schedule as soon as the rota is published

  • Leave requests in the same app

    Staff request annual leave and TOIL without switching to a different system

  • Accurate timesheets from real shifts

    Hours worked are based on actual shift times — reliable data for payroll

Rota and leave in one calendar — no more blind spots

The team calendar shows shifts, annual leave, and sick leave together. Store managers see coverage at a glance before approving any leave request or finalising the next rota.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can retail staff see their shifts on their phone?

Yes. Once you publish a rota, all assigned staff see their upcoming shifts in the TimeTally iOS app. They receive a notification when rotas are published or shifts change — no more rota photos in the WhatsApp group.

How do we manage the rota during peak trading periods?

Build rotas further in advance for peak periods and use the team calendar to see who has annual leave booked before finalising shift patterns. You can copy last week's rota and adjust — saving time during busy periods.

Does the rota software work for part-time staff on different contracted hours?

Yes. Each employee has their own contracted hours and can be assigned to shifts independently of other team members. Part-time, full-time, and zero-hours staff all sit in the same rota view.

Can we manage rotas across multiple store locations?

Yes. All stores and all employees are managed under one TimeTally account. Managers can view one store or the whole estate from the same dashboard, with the ability to assign staff across locations if needed.

Does the rota link to leave management?

Yes. The team calendar shows rotas and all absence types together — annual leave, sick leave, and TOIL. This means managers can see coverage before approving leave requests, and won't accidentally schedule someone who's already approved to be off.

What does TimeTally cost for a retail team?

TimeTally is £2 per employee per month, all features included. A store with 15 staff pays £30/month for rota management, leave tracking, timesheets, and payroll exports.
