A restaurant staff rota, timesheets and tip pools that hand clean numbers to payroll

A spreadsheet, a group chat and a clipboard in the kitchen each hold a different version of the week. Nobody remembers who swapped with whom, and the hours people actually worked get reconstructed on a Sunday night from memory.

Mosey puts the people, the rota and the hours in one login, on the same system that already knows your sales.

The United States starts on the basic level. It covers these jobs:

• Staff records: add each person with their role and the documents you need to keep.
• The rota: build the week, publish it, and staff see their shifts on their phones. A change to a published rota tells them.
• Clock in and out: breaks taken are recorded as they happen.
• Timesheets and a payroll export: approve hours each pay period and hand the figures to your payroll provider.
• Tip pools: record how card and cash tips are split, with a policy and a record for each pay period.
• Job ads with pay ranges: post a vacancy and answer applicants.
• Leave tracking: time taken and balances, using the leave rate you set.

Basic does not draft contracts, send them or work out statutory sick leave. It says so on screen: Mosey keeps your records, and your payroll provider works out pay and entitlements. You set the sick leave rate for your own business, confirm it yourself, and Mosey counts time taken against it.

Mosey does not run payroll, move wages or check someone's right to work. Contracts and pay rules stay your responsibility.

The rota and the timesheet flag overtime, and where a state rule exists they flag a missing break. A wage under the minimum is flagged where Mosey holds a row for your state, with the source and the date it was checked beside it. Every warning is advice. None blocks a shift or changes pay, and you can see the source behind each one.

Card tips from the till feed the pool for the pay period, and cash tips are entered by hand with a note. You choose how the pool splits, by hours, by role or manually, and a record moves from draft to finalized to paid. Staff see their own share and the policy, never anyone else's. No money moves through Mosey; you pay tips out through your own payroll.
