Peak hours, zero margin
Saturday morning with one cashier down means long queues before you've even opened. Every minute searching for cover costs you.
For retail teams
Cover the floor when staff drop out
Sick call before opening? Short notice on a Saturday? RotaBridge helps store managers publish the gap, let available staff claim it, and assign cover before customers notice.
Free plan includes 3 workers and 20 shifts/month. Workers never pay.

One sick call shouldn't ruin the rota
Retail runs on tight timings and thin cover. When someone drops out, managers need a fast, reliable way to fill the shift — not a buried WhatsApp message.
The wrong person says yes
Someone volunteers who can't run a till, or doesn't know the store. You only find out when they're already on the way in.
Multiple stores, scattered chats
Area managers juggle shifts across locations with separate group threads. Open shifts at Store B get missed by staff at Store A.
A real moment
Saturday, 7:30am
Your opening cashier texts in sick. Opening is in ninety minutes. You publish the shift for High Street with the Cashier role.
Three team members claim within fifteen minutes. You approve the best fit — the store opens on time.
How it works for retail teams
Store managers publish. Floor staff claim. Area managers approve — all in one place.

Questions from retail teams
- Can I run multiple stores?
- Yes. Add each location as a Site. Publish shifts per store; staff only see roles and sites they're registered for.
- Do shop staff need to download an app?
- No app store required — RotaBridge works in the browser on any phone. Share your invite link and they claim shifts from there.
- What if we need cover approved instantly?
- By default you approve each claim. You can also enable instant-claim for trusted staff who meet your rules.
- Is there a free plan to try?
- Yes — 3 workers and 20 shifts per month, no credit card. Enough to test with a small team before you upgrade.
