Rotas · Holidays · Takings · Your website

Run the pub from your phone. Not from the office.

GO Pubs is the back-office app for independent pubs: the rota your staff actually look at, UK holiday maths done for you, the day's takings closed in two taps, and a website in your pub's own name.

What it does

Everything a landlord does on a Sunday night, done on a Tuesday afternoon.

Rota

Two views of the same week: a By Staff grid for managers, a Schedule timeline for the team. Copy last week, close the day, see who's off and what's on.

  • Staff can hold more than one role (Bar · Kitchen)
  • Warns you before rostering someone who's on holiday
  • Bar, kitchen and session-based pay rates

Clock in & out

One button on the dashboard. Actual hours sit next to rostered hours on every shift, so pay is based on what happened, not what was planned.

  • No GPS, no faff
  • Switch it off per pub if you don't need it

Holidays, the UK way

Fixed days for salaried staff, 12.07% accrual for irregular hours, bank holidays in or out. Requests, approvals and balances in one place.

  • Conflict checks: who else is off, rota clashes, allowance left
  • Opening balances for staff who join mid-year
  • Branded email when a request is decided

Takings & reports

Close each session, bank the week, and get daily, weekly and monthly reports by email with a PDF you can hand to the accountant.

  • Tips pooled by session when you want them
  • Holiday pay calculated, paid when taken or rolled up
  • Petty cash and weekly banking records

Pub diary on the rota

Deliveries, private bookings, maintenance and staff meetings sit above the shifts, so you staff around what's happening. Live music nights appear on their own from your What's On.

A website in your pub's name

What's On with tickets or wristbands, today's specials on a chalkboard, photos, kitchen hours, and a Facebook and Instagram button. Edited from the same app.

  • Your colours, logo and domain
  • Flyers to print or post with one tap

What the landlord sees. What the punters see.

Holidays

Statutory leave, worked out properly.

Every pub has both kinds of staff. GO Pubs handles them side by side: salaried staff get fixed days pro-rated from their start date; casual staff accrue 12.07% of the hours they actually work, capped at 5.6 weeks. Managers approve from their phone and the rota updates itself.

Switching from paper or a spreadsheet? Enter each person's opening balance once and the app carries on from there.

White label

Your pub, your name on the door.

Each pub gets its own app and website with its own logo, colours and domain. Staff add it to their home screen and see your pub, not ours. The public side runs on your domain and updates the moment you change a special or add a gig.

Pub groups run every site from one login and switch between them.

On the way

Next up: let customers book and order.

Coming soon

Table bookings

Customers book a table from your website or a link in your socials. Bookings land in the pub diary, so the rota knows a Saturday is busy before you do.

  • Set your tables, sittings and max party size
  • Confirmation and reminder texts
  • Walk-ins and phone bookings added at the bar
Coming soon

Order to table

A QR code on each table opens your menu. Customers order and pay from their phone; the order prints or pings behind the bar and in the kitchen.

  • Your menu and specials, already in the app
  • Card payments settled to the pub's account
  • One customer account across every pub in a group

Owners, managers and staff, their roles, pay and holiday method. Type in opening holiday balances if you're mid-year.

Make it yours

Build the first week

Rota the week, open the sessions, and close the first day. Reports start arriving the next morning.
