Leave

Leave that manages itself, request to rota

Staff leave management software for shops.

Someone asks for a day off on their phone, it reaches the right manager, and once approved it's on the calendar, with no one copying it anywhere. The rota updates the moment it's signed off, so tomorrow's floor is planned from what's true, not from a half-remembered WhatsApp.

Why Rotabook

Leave software built for how Indian shops run

Get leave out of the chat thread. Requests, approvals and the rota all sit in one place, so the floor is always planned from what's actually booked.

Staff ask from their own phone

A day off is a few taps on whatever phone they're holding. No paper slip, no waiting to catch you between customers.

It lands with the right manager

Each request turns up with the person who should see it, dates and remaining balance already attached, ready to wave through or turn down.

Approve it and the rota knows

The moment you sign off, the shift planner shifts with it, so tomorrow's floor is built around who's actually in.

How it works

How Rotabook leave works, live in a single morning

No IT team, no migration. Leave runs on the PC already at your counter, live by the end of day one.

01

Employees request in a tap

From any phone, an employee picks dates and leave type. Nothing to install; it works in the browser.

02

Managers approve in one click

The right manager sees the request with the leave balance attached and approves or declines, with no messaging required.

03

The rota updates itself

Approved leave appears on the calendar and updates the shift planner automatically, so the next day is planned from reality.

Works in any phone browser, with nothing for staff to install, and one login covers every shop you run.

A closer look

See leave in action

Two questions every owner asks: who's off, and is tomorrow covered. Here's how Rotabook answers them.

Team calendar

Your whole month of leave, in one view

Approved leave is highlighted across the month, so you can spot thin days coming and plan the floor before they arrive, not after.

  • Month view with approved leave highlighted
  • See understaffed days before they happen
  • Balances tracked automatically per employee

FAQ

Leave: answered

No. Employees request leave from any phone browser; they open a link, choose dates, and submit. Nothing to download.
Each request routes automatically to the manager responsible for that employee, with dates and balance attached, so they can approve in a single click.
Yes, in real time. The moment leave is approved, the shift planner adjusts, so the next day's floor is planned around who's actually available.
Yes. Approved leave feeds deductions into the salary run automatically, so payroll always reflects it, with no separate entry.
Yes. The balance travels with every request, so the employee asking and the manager approving are both looking at the same number.
Yes. Each shop's requests route to that shop's manager, all under one login, so an owner with two or three branches isn't juggling separate chats.
One connected suite

Six modules. One login. One source of truth.

Leave is one of six modules that share the same data: attendance into payroll, leave into the rota, so you enter once and your whole shop stays in sync.
