Builds the week, covers open shifts, watches your labor cost while you sleep.
Ro is the agent your managers wish they had. Ro reads your sales forecast, your team availability, your certifications, and your overtime rules, and then writes a schedule that lands on labor target without anyone arguing about it. When someone calls out at 4pm, Ro is already texting the three people most likely to say yes.
Three jobs Ro owns
Writes the schedule for you
Pull a forecast, set a labor target, hit publish. Ro keeps swaps, time-off, and minors compliant on its own.
Fills open shifts in minutes
A no-show at 4pm becomes a confirmed cover by 4:08. Ro asks the right people in the right order, not the whole team.
Watches labor in real time
If a shift is on track to blow the labor target, Ro flags it before the manager closes the till, not the morning after.
What this looks like in real service
Builds next week from your forecast
Sales forecast pulled from POS, availability checked, OT capped, schedule drafted. Manager just reviews and publishes.
Covers a no-show without you
Server texts in sick. Ro pings the three best-fit teammates. One says yes. Manager gets a one-line confirmation.
Calls out a labor risk live
"Friday is trending 4 points over target. Want me to send the openers home 30 minutes early?" — sent before the rush is over.
- Running payroll. That is what Kai handles.
- Replying to guest reviews. Ava does that.
- Reordering inventory. Leo manages your par levels.
Questions about Ro
No. Ro drafts the schedule and waits for a manager to publish. You can give it permission to auto-publish recurring weeks once you trust the pattern.
Yes. Set the rules per state once and Ro applies them on every draft. Violations never reach the published schedule.
Both. Open shift offers go through the Clockout app first. If a shift is critical and unanswered, Ro can fall back to SMS.

Connect your POS, hand Ro the keys, and have your first results before the next shift ends.
