Built for teams who run on shifts
Zero Rota was built by pharmacy operators who spent years paying too much for scheduling software their own teams hated using. This is the tool we wanted.
We were the customer first
We were paying enterprise money for tools that did too little, took a consultant to set up, and put the one thing staff actually needed - this week's shifts - three taps deep behind a desktop-shaped interface.
We started with pharmacies because that is what we knew. As we built, the same problems turned up everywhere: hospitality, retail, healthcare, care homes. Any business that runs on shifts deserves software that is simple, affordable, and built for a phone.
Half the price. Twice the simplicity.
Our mission is to make workforce scheduling affordable for every shift-based business. No enterprise sales calls, no implementation consultants, and no core feature held back to force an upgrade. Just a tool that works, at a price that is fair.

Four principles, and what they cost us
Every decision goes through these. They are the reason some obvious revenue is sitting on the table.
Simple by design
Every feature is built so your team can use it without training. If it needs a manual, we haven’t finished designing it.
Built mobile-first
Your managers and staff live on their phones. Zero Rota is designed for the pocket first, the desktop second.
Fair pricing
No hidden fees, no per-feature surcharges, no "contact sales" traps. Time tracking is included in every plan, not a paid add-on.
Privacy-first
Your data stays yours. We don’t sell it, mine it, or use it for ads. UK GDPR aligned by default, hosted in the EU.
A small team, and no pretending otherwise
We are a small team in the UK. We come from pharmacy, hospitality and technology, so we have run the rotas we are building for - every feature is tested against real weeks, real staff and real deadlines.
Zero is in beta with pilot businesses. That means your questions go to the people who wrote the code rather than a ticket queue, and it means we are not going to advertise a customer list we have not earned yet. Ask us anything about how it works and we will show you.
Built for these teams
Different trades, one shape of problem: a rota that changes on the day, staff who need it in their pocket, and hours that have to turn into pay at the end of the month.
