Keep Staff Information Organised

Create a structured profile for every restaurant team member and keep their role, contact details, assigned location, and employment status available to authorised managers.

  • Staff name and profile image
  • Contact information
  • Job title and department
  • Primary and additional locations
  • Start date and active status
  • Emergency contact where supported
  • Controlled internal notes
  • Search and filter team members
Controlled Access

Give Each Team Member the Right Access

Assign role-based permissions so restaurant staff only see and manage the areas of TabTake relevant to their responsibilities.

  • Create reusable staff roles
  • Assign permissions by product area
  • Control menu and order access
  • Limit reporting visibility
  • Restrict location access
  • Assign manager approvals
  • Review role assignments
  • Deactivate access when staff leave
Simple Scheduling

Plan and Publish Restaurant Rotas

Build weekly rotas around restaurant opening hours, job roles, team availability, and expected service requirements.

  • Weekly and daily rota views
  • Assign staff by role
  • Set shift start and end times
  • Add breaks where supported
  • Copy previous rota patterns
  • Create recurring shifts
  • Save rota drafts
  • Publish rotas and identify open shifts

Plan Rotas Around Team Availability

Record when team members are available to work and review leave or time-off requests before publishing the rota.

  • Recurring and date-specific availability
  • Preferred working times
  • Unavailable periods
  • Time-off requests and reasons
  • Manager approval or rejection
  • Request history
  • Rota conflict indicators
  • Location-specific availability
Live Attendance

See Who Is Ready for Service

Review clock-in and clock-out records alongside planned shifts so managers can identify attendance issues and current team coverage.

  • Clock-in and clock-out time
  • Scheduled shift comparison
  • Early, late, and break status
  • Missed clock-out indicator
  • Manager adjustment with notes
  • Daily attendance summary
  • Location-level attendance view
  • Exportable records where supported
Flexible Coverage

Fill Gaps Without Rebuilding the Entire Rota

Create open shifts and manage staff requests to take, release, or exchange scheduled working periods.

  • Mark a shift as open
  • Invite eligible team members
  • Request or offer a shift swap
  • Manager approval
  • Role eligibility checks
  • Availability conflict warnings
  • Updated rota after approval
  • Request history and notification
Clear Responsibilities

Give Every Shift a Clear Plan

Assign operational tasks to individuals, roles, shifts, or restaurant locations and review what has been completed.

  • Opening and closing checklists
  • Cleaning and preparation tasks
  • Stock and equipment checks
  • Assign by person or role
  • Set due time and notes
  • Completion status
  • Manager verification where supported
Keep Everyone Informed

Share Important Operational Updates

Publish team announcements and shift-related notes so restaurant staff have access to the information needed for service.

  • Shift notes
  • Rota publication notices
  • Urgent operational messages
  • Read confirmation where supported
  • Attachments where supported
  • Start and expiry dates
  • Manager-only publishing
Multi-Site Teams

Manage People Across Every Restaurant Location

Maintain central team records while controlling branch assignments, rota visibility, permissions, and attendance separately for each restaurant.

  • Assign staff to one or more locations
  • Select a primary branch
  • Location-specific roles and rotas
  • Cross-location shift assignments
  • Branch attendance summaries
