A rostering app for restaurants, floor and kitchen.
A restaurant rosters two teams to one service. Kaslu Work lays the roster out by section, so you can check Saturday dinner on the floor, behind the bar and in the kitchen before it goes out, and staff clock in from their phone or the venue tablet.
Join the waitlist. The first pub group is being set up with the team.
See every service covered, section by section.
The question a restaurant manager asks of a roster is simple: is every part of service covered? Kaslu Work lays the roster out by section, so you can go through service one part at a time.
- Floor, bar and kitchen. Name the sections the way your restaurant runs. Each has its own roster by the hour, so an empty kitchen shift on Friday stands out.
- Rostered against your opening hours. Trading hours are set for each day, so a restaurant that’s closed Mondays and runs late on Saturdays is rostered against the hours it actually trades.
- Drag, drop, publish. Drag or draw shifts, assign people from the staff tray, undo a mistake, and publish. Everyone on the roster gets an email.
- Availability for casuals. Staff mark the days they can work, and the roster warns you before you book someone who can’t.
Hours you can check before the pay run.
Wages move with every service that runs long. The hours on the timesheet should be the hours people were actually there, and you should be able to see why any of them changed.
- Clock-in checked against the venue. Draw a boundary around the restaurant, including the back door the kitchen uses. A clock-in from inside it is accepted, one from just outside is flagged for a manager, and one from further away is refused.
- Worked next to rostered. Worked hours sit beside the rostered shift, so a late close is easy to spot and check.
- Rounding you choose. Owners set how clock-ins round, such as to the nearest five minutes, once, in the venue’s settings.
- Every change recorded. If a manager edits a clock-in, the original and the change are both kept, with who made it.
- CSV export today. Worked hours export to CSV for your payroll, for any date range. Direct connections to Xero, MYOB and Employment Hero / KeyPay aren’t built yet.
When someone can’t make service.
A sick call an hour before dinner shouldn’t turn into twenty text messages.
- Swaps staff arrange themselves. A staff member proposes a swap with someone else and a manager approves it.
- Shared to the team’s group chat. Send the roster to the restaurant’s WhatsApp group straight from Kaslu Work.
A wage budget on the roster.
Each venue has its own budget, and the roster costs each shift under the venue’s award as you build it, with weekend, evening and public holiday rates, and a monthly view of weekly spend. Super, overtime and allowances aren’t included.
Questions
Can I roster the kitchen and the floor separately?
Yes. Each is its own section with its own roster, and you choose the names, so a restaurant with a pass, a bar and a private dining room can have all three.
The kitchen comes in through the back. Will clock-ins work?
Yes, as long as the back door is inside the boundary you draw. Draw it around where people actually start work, including the lane or loading area, and leave out places like the car park across the road.
Does Kaslu Work calculate award rates or run payroll?
It costs every rostered shift under the Hospitality (MA000009) and Restaurant (MA000119) awards, with weekend, evening, public holiday and casual rates, so you see the wage cost before you publish. It doesn’t run payroll: Kaslu Work records the hours your staff actually work, managers review and correct them, and your payroll software pays them. Worked hours export to CSV today. Direct connections to Xero, MYOB and Employment Hero / KeyPay aren’t built yet.
Do staff need to download an app?
Not during early access. Staff clock in from their phone’s browser, signed in with a code we email them, so there’s no password to forget. Or they pick their name on a venue tablet and enter a code. The staff app for iPhone and Android isn’t in the App Store or Google Play yet. Managers use any browser.
When can we start using it?
Kaslu Work has a waitlist, and the first pub group is being set up with the team. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when there’s room for your venue.
