Pricing and terms
Taybl is one subscription for the whole venue. The others charge for every user you add, so the bill grows each time you hire.
What it costs to get your account set up and running.
Whether you are tied into a minimum term or a minimum monthly spend.
Building the rota
Build the week visually, save reusable templates and copy last week forward.
Attach a role, the skills it needs and a pay rate to every shift.
Staff are notified the moment the rota is published or a shift changes.
Staff request swaps or pick up open shifts, and a manager approves.
Staff set when they can and cannot work, and it shows on the builder as you schedule.
Request, approve and track remaining holiday allowance in one place.
Flags shifts that would breach working-time limits or rest-break rules.
Schedule across several sites from one account.
Deputy drafts a whole rota from its demand forecast. Taybl surfaces the demand forecast and live covers on the builder, but assigning staff to shifts stays a manual decision.
Time, attendance and pay
Clock in by phone with GPS, or from a fixed tablet at the venue. RotaCloud charges Time and Attendance as a paid add-on.
Review clocked hours against the rota and approve them for pay.
Automatically flags late starts and hours worked over the scheduled shift.
Download approved hours and gross pay as a spreadsheet for your payroll.
Push approved hours straight into payroll software. Taybl connects to Xero, and the others cover a wider range of providers today.
Cost and insight

Set a budget per rota and see whether you are over or under before publishing.
Track wage spend against takings for each day or week.
Pulls actual sales from your till so labour can be measured against real revenue.
One-click reports on attendance patterns, lateness and no-shows.
Team and apps
Native apps for managers and for staff.
Message the whole team or a single shift from inside the app.
Store contracts and right-to-work documents against each person.
Control exactly what each role can see and do.
The unified-system advantage 2
The rota builder reads your live reservation diary and shows booked covers for each day, with an hourly breakdown, so you staff to the real book rather than a guess. The standalone tools can only import a sales figure after the fact.
A demand forecast built from your own trading history and how your bookings usually fill in, with a one-click breakdown of every figure.
Send a campaign and the projected covers for those dates go up, based on how much your past campaigns moved bookings.
No syncing staff lists between a scheduling app and everything else. It is the same record on the rota, the timesheet, the task list and every report.
One login and one bill for the whole operation, with one support team behind it.
  1. 1 RotaCloud, Planday and Deputy bill per user. Figures show the comparable monthly cost for a typical 15-staff venue and match the taybl.food price calculator (August 2026). Taybl is one flat price for unlimited staff.
  2. 2 RotaCloud, Planday and Deputy can connect a separate booking system or POS by API or Zapier. In Taybl this data is native, with no connector to build, pay for or maintain.
