We can’t quite believe it, but this weekend Rotaready turns 10! In celebration, we’re looking back at our journey so far, including how it all started how our product and team has grown, personal and professional milestones, and a sneak peek at where we’re going next.

\n\n\n\n

But before we get into that, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of our journey, we wouldn’t be where we are today without you. So, without further ado, let’s kick things off with some stats about…

2020 didn’t come without its challenges for any of us, with the hospitality industry hit particularly hard. So, in addition to offering financial support to our customers in distress, we got creative to do what we could to support the industry elsewhere and…

Adversity turned to opportunity, as operators used the spell without the distraction of day-to-day business to migrate away from their legacy supplier, meaning we kicked off 2021 with a boom of growth

2025: The next chapter

\n\n\n\n

So far this year we’ve made the integrations between Rotaready and two other Access products – Access CPL Learning and Guestline, stronger than ever. And improved our Employee Self-Onboarding functionality to make the process slicker and easier than ever. And we’re delighted to have been shortlisted for the People Solution of the Year Award at The Caterer Supplier Awards 2025

\n\n\n\n

But of course, we’re not done there… in addition to the team socials and events we’re planning, next on the agenda for Rotaready as a product is the introduction of Company Documents, even more management tools available via the Rotaready app, and Labour predictions – enabling you to intelligently forecast the required staffing hours directly within your rota. See more details on these and what else we’re planning here.

\n\n\n\n

We hope you enjoyed looking back at our last 10 years as much as we did. Once again, we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of our journey so far. Here’s to the next 10 years of great partnerships, customers, colleagues and continued innovation!
