Made by hospo people

Shaped by real hospo weeks.

TEAM MATE started in Melbourne venues, built around what a hospo week actually looks like: early openers, a busy kitchen, late closes and last-minute cover.

For your venue

Built around a hospo week.

Pick "café or restaurant" or "bar, pub or club" in the welcome wizard and your venue is set up in minutes: no implementation call, no sales demo.

  • Front of house and kitchen, ready to go Baristas, wait staff, cooks and kitchen hands, plus a typical week to start your roster from.
  • RSA and food-safety certificates Track who holds what and when it expires, and get a warning before you roster someone who doesn't have one.
  • Suggested rules for hospo Common starting points for meal breaks and rest between shifts. You check them, switch them on, and change any number.
  • Clock in on site Optional location check and photo on each clock-in, so hours match who was actually on the floor.
  • A daily wages budget The roster's cost bar and the live wages figure tell you when a shift is running heavy.
  • More than one venue? Share staff between your venues when a shift needs cover.
  • Handover notes What the close wants the opener to know.
For your crew

The app your floor staff will actually open.

Shifts land in their pocket the moment you publish, so no more roster photos in the group chat.

Questions

Questions venues ask.

Can I keep track of RSA and food-safety certificates?

Yes. Record who holds what and when it expires, and TEAM MATE warns you before you roster someone who doesn't have one.

What happens when someone calls in sick?

Offer the shift as an open shift, approve a swap, or borrow a hand from your other venue.

Can I set Saturday, Sunday and public-holiday rates?

Yes. Set your Saturday, Sunday, evening and public-holiday rates once and pay adds them up. You choose the rates.

Is it really free for a small café?

Yes, for teams of 10 or fewer, with every feature. Past 10 staff it's $60 a month for up to 30 staff.

Not just hospo

At home on any shift.

The same app runs all of these crews too, each with its own setup in the welcome wizard.
