RosterHop's journey began in May 2020, amidst the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. During this tumultuous time, businesses faced an array of issues, from staff sickness to extended recovery times, often leading to reduced operating hours, temporary closures, and even permanent shutdowns.

In response to this crisis, the RosterHop team embarked on a mission to address one of the most critical and costly aspects of running a business: managing its workforce. Through collaboration and consultation with numerous business owners and workforce planners, we developed a cutting-edge, real-time platform designed to revolutionize the way businesses engage with their most valuable asset – their people.

The pandemic shed light on a frequently overlooked segment of the economy – hourly employees and the unique challenges they encounter, both before and after the crisis. Our platform tackles these challenges head-on:

1) Moonlighting: Many hourly workers desire additional employment opportunities beyond their primary job. RosterHop provides a seamless solution to match their skills and availability with businesses seeking part-time or temporary help.

2) Network Dysfunction: In franchised business models, employees are often limited to working exclusively at a single location, creating a fragmented network of talent. RosterHop unifies and optimizes this workforce, enabling businesses within the same franchise to share and deploy trained employees efficiently.

3) Scalability: Small businesses often lack access to extensive employment networks but maintain valuable relationships with fellow business owners. RosterHop leverages these connections, allowing businesses to tap into each other's talent pools, fostering collaboration, and easing staffing challenges.

4) Location Dynamics: Businesses located in city centers may struggle to find enough employees due to factors such as cost of living and housing availability. Conversely, suburban businesses may face an oversupply of potential workers. RosterHop creates a dynamic pipeline to balance the employee supply, mitigating staffing shortages in high-traffic urban areas and optimizing resources in suburban settings.

5) Burnout: Employee burnout is a significant concern. RosterHop empowers workers by allowing them to manage their schedules and adapt to last-minute changes independently. This not only reduces the risk of turnover but also saves managers valuable time and resources previously spent on overseeing shift changes.

Our platform operates with built-in safeguards, ensuring that important factors like overtime and cost differentials are managed responsibly, while still granting employees the autonomy to trade shifts with ease.

At RosterHop, we believe that a thriving workforce is the cornerstone of business success. Our innovative platform is poised to transform how businesses connect with and nurture their employees, ultimately driving growth, efficiency, and resilience in an ever-changing world.
