Everything a shift team runs on
Zero covers the whole week - running the daily checks as tasks, building the rota, clocking in on site, approving leave and swaps, and running payroll - in one app, for less than the price of RotaCloud. Here’s what’s inside.
The daily routine, on autopilot
Fridge checks, opening routines, cleaning rotas - set them once and Zero re-issues them on schedule, chases whoever is overdue, and keeps the record an inspector would ask for.
- Recurring tasks that re-assign themselves - daily, weekly, or until done
- Assign to a person, a group or a role - whoever is on shift picks it up
- Priorities, due dates and an Overdue queue that keeps score
- Photo attachments and proof of completion
- Completion history - see who last did it, and when
- Push reminders that chase, so you don’t have to
Build the week in minutes
Drag shifts onto the grid and watch coverage counts and the wage forecast update live. Staff see nothing until you press publish.
Clock-ins you can trust
Staff clock in on their own phone, on site - with a live map to prove it. And time tracking is included in every plan, not sold back to you as an add-on.
- Geofenced clock-in with a live map of the branch
- Breaks and a live shift timer while on the clock
- Auto clock-out closes forgotten shifts at shift end
- Kiosk and QR staff pass for shared-device clock-in
- Apple Wallet staff pass and iOS Live Activities on the Lock Screen
- Time amendments with manager approval when something needs correcting
Holiday requests that sort themselves
Requests come in from the app, balances come straight from contracts, and the team calendar shows who is off at a glance.
- Annual, sick, work and unpaid leave types
- Balances auto-calculated from each person’s contract
- Overlap prevention - clashing requests are caught before they are booked
- Bank holidays handled automatically
- Colour-coded team calendar, so cover gaps are obvious before they happen
Every yes and no, in one queue
The Action Centre gathers everything waiting on a manager - so nothing sits unanswered in a WhatsApp thread.
- Action Centre: leave, swaps, amendments, overtime, expenses and coverage gaps in one queue
- Shift swaps with manager sign-off
- Coverage minimums per role, per branch - with a 14-day early warning on gaps
- Staff roles with 35+ granular permissions
- Reporting hierarchy, so requests reach the right manager
- Join codes and bulk import to get the whole team on board fast
From timesheet to payslip
Approved hours flow straight into a monthly payroll run - UK tax, NI and pension worked out per person - and staff get their payslip in the app.
- Timesheet approvals before anything is paid
- Monthly payroll runs with UK tax, NI and pension per person
- In-app payslips for every member of staff
- Hours reports comparing scheduled against worked
- 8-week trends and sales tracking
- Audit log and payroll export for your accountant
Polished in dark mode, too
Every screen is themed - the rota, timesheets, payroll, the lot. Early starts and late handovers are easier on the eyes.
- Rota Builder, tasks, hours, payroll and reports - all themed, not just the home screen
- Charts and coverage colours re-tuned for a dark ground, so they stay readable
- Your brand colour carries across both themes
Polish you notice after a week
