Rapid Rota is a cloud-based employee scheduling and rota management solution that helps managers in healthcare, hospitality, and other shift-based industries create, publish, and manage staff rotas automatically.
Designed for organisations that operate on rotating or fixed shift patterns, Rapid Rota replaces manual spreadsheet-based scheduling with an automated system that factors in staff availability, contracted hours, skills, leave, and compliance requirements. The platform is used by NHS departments, dental practices, care homes, restaurants, and retail businesses across the UK.
Core features include:
- AI-powered rota solver that automatically generates optimised shift schedules based on staff availability, skills, contracted hours, and fairness rules, reducing the time required to build complex rotas from hours to minutes
- RotaCheck compliance engine that runs real-time checks across draft and published rotas, flagging contractual breaches, rest period violations, and coverage gaps before a rota goes live
- Staff self-service mobile app where employees can view shifts, submit availability, request leave, propose swaps, and receive real-time notifications when rotas change
- Contracted hours and PA tracking that monitors staff against agreed working patterns, supporting accurate records and avoiding contractual overruns
- Audit trail and custom reporting providing a full history of scheduling decisions for compliance reviews and internal governance
- Calendar sync that pushes published shifts directly to Google Calendar and Apple Calendar
Rapid Rota is available in three tiers. Starter covers core rota building, availability management, and staff app access. Pro adds the AI scheduling solver, holiday management, shift swaps, and contracted hours tracking. The Compliance plan includes full RotaCheck functionality, audit trails, custom AI solver rules, and a dedicated account manager, and is recommended for healthcare and regulated environments.
The platform requires no installation and is accessible via web browser and mobile app. Onboarding support and spreadsheet migration are included with annual plans. A 30-day free trial is available on all tiers with no credit card required.
