Case Study: The Engine Shed streamlines rota planning and saves time with RotaCloud

The Engine Shed - Customer Case Study

The Engine Shed, a wedding and private hire venue in Wetherby, North Yorkshire, needed a better way to manage staff rotas after relying on Excel, printed schedules, and WhatsApp updates. HR & Finance Manager Emma Hogg found that even small rota changes took around 15 minutes to redo, reprint, and redistribute, creating unnecessary admin work.

By moving to RotaCloud, The Engine Shed was able to make rota changes live and automatically notify staff, delegate rota planning to team leaders, and use reports to track hours and pay in one place. RotaCloud also handled different hourly rates across roles, saving time on wage calculations and significantly reducing manual admin.
