Rotahr vs Rotaready
Rotahr and Rotaready both handle staff scheduling, but they solve different problems: Rotahr is one flat-priced app that also covers bookings, food safety records, stock and payroll for a single venue, while Rotaready is a dedicated workforce platform priced on request and bolted to other tools for the rest.
Hospitality scheduling from Access Group, usually sold as part of a wider Access Hospitality suite.
Below is a straight comparison, including the cases where Rotaready is the better choice. If that's you, we'd rather you knew now than found out after paying us.
Short version
Built for hospitality groups with a head office. If you're one venue with twelve staff, you're not who it's designed for.
What each one costs
Rotahr
€49/mo
Flat monthly, VAT included. Up to 15 staff; €89 up to 30. Hiring doesn't change the bill.
Rotaready
on request
Not published as a simple list price. Access provides a calculator and typically prices Rotaready Evo as part of a Hospitality suite rather than a standalone subscription.

Where Rotaready is better
No point pretending otherwise.
- ✓Deep labour forecasting and cost control, aimed squarely at multi-site hospitality.
- ✓Part of the Access ecosystem, so EPOS, finance and HR can sit under one vendor.
- ✓Strong integrations with hospitality-specific systems including ResDiary and Access EPoS.
- ✓Suited to groups with a finance team that wants detailed labour analysis.
Pick Rotaready if…
You run a group, want one vendor across EPOS, finance and scheduling, and have the head-office capacity to run it.
Where Rotaready leaves gaps for a small venue
- ✕Aimed at multi-site groups; a single independent venue is not the target customer.
- ✕Pricing is quote-based and generally bundled, which makes it hard to compare or leave.
- ✕Suite buying means you're committing to a vendor relationship, not a monthly app.
The real difference
Most tools here do the rota well. The question is what happens to everything else — the temperature checks, the delivery notes, the bookings, the bag of receipts. Rotahr was built by a chef who was doing all of it by hand.

Common questions
Is Rotaready suitable for a single pub or café?
It's built for multi-site hospitality groups with head-office reporting needs. A single venue will find it heavier and harder to price than a flat monthly app.
How much does Rotaready cost?
Access doesn't publish a simple list price — it's quoted, usually as part of their wider Hospitality suite. Rotahr publishes its pricing openly: €49/month up to 15 staff, €89 up to 30, VAT included.
