Cover grooming, retail, and animal care

Employee rostering for pet stores

Conflict‑free scheduling with AI

Match skills and availability to demand

RosterElf’s rostering software uses AI‑powered conflict detection and skill matching to assign the right employees at the right time. Managers drag‑and‑drop shifts, apply live labour budgets, and template busy weekends and sale events. Costed schedules reduce admin, keep coverage balanced across grooming, retail, and animal care, and help stores stay compliant with award rules.

Accurate hours every shift

Time and attendance for pet store staff

Digital clock‑ins with GPS/photo

Payroll‑ready timesheets without disputes

Replace paper timesheets with time & attendance. Staff clock in/out via mobile or kiosk with GPS/photo verification, capturing start, finish, and breaks accurately. Approved hours flow into payroll‑ready timesheets, reducing disputes and ensuring compliance for casual, part‑time, and full‑time retail, grooming, and animal care staff across single or multi‑site operations.
