Restaurant and bar staff planning
Build stronger shifts around demand, availability, and performance.
Forkestra brings forecast demand, role coverage, full availability, rotas, clock-ins, sick days, replacements, labour cost, and performance into one view. Dom can suggest staff pairings to help you build a stronger shift.
- Availability-aware rotas
- Dom’s staff pairing suggestions
- Staff, shift, and labour analytics
The right headcount is not always the right team.
A rota can cover every role and still miss the balance of experience and performance the service needs. Forkestra connects availability, past performance, expected demand, and labour cost so each plan starts with better evidence.
Plan with full availability
Track when each person can work, alongside time off, sick days, role coverage, and replacement requests.
Review stronger pairings
Ask Dom which mix of people could suit the service, based on demand, roles, availability, and performance.
Analyse people and shifts
See performance analytics for individual team members and complete shifts, then carry that evidence into the next rota.
See the real labour cost
Compare planned hours with clock-ins, actual hours, and labour cost after the work is completed.
Staffing evidence
Plan the people. Learn from every shift.
See availability before you publish, review Dom’s pairing suggestions, then bring actual hours, labour cost, staff performance, and shift performance back into the next plan.
How it works
Plan with evidence before and after the shift.
Availability and past performance shape the rota; actual hours, cost, and shift performance improve the next one.
Check demand
Start with the coverage and roles the next service is likely to need.
Review availability
See who can work before filling the rota.
Consider the pairing
Ask Dom for a team combination informed by roles and past performance.
Publish and adapt
Share the rota, then keep absences and replacement requests inside the same flow.
Learn from the shift
Bring clock-ins, actual labour cost, and staff and shift performance into the next plan.
For independent operators
Ask Dom who should work together—and why.
Dom brings demand, roles, availability, past performance, and labour cost into the discussion. Compare the options, review the suggested pairing, and ask Dom to prepare the preferred rota.
Before you start.
Does Forkestra track actual labour cost?
Yes. Forkestra connects planned shifts and recorded hours so the owner can see actual labour cost, not only the rota estimate.
Can I track full staff availability?
Yes. Availability, time off, sick days, role coverage, and shift replacement requests stay connected to the rota.
What staff performance can I analyse?
Forkestra provides performance analytics for individual team members and complete shifts, so you can compare how people and team combinations perform over time.
Do staff need to install an app?
No. The staff app works in the browser and can also be added to the Home Screen as a PWA.
Can Dom suggest who should work together?
Yes. Dom can use demand, roles, availability, and performance to suggest a staff pairing, explain the reasoning, and prepare the preferred rota for review.
