💸 What it costs
Droppah is free for accounts with 10 people or fewer. Above that, you're only billed for people who actually appear on a roster or record a timesheet that month. No minimum term, no lock in, cancel whenever.
👥 Teams and work groups
A team is who someone belongs to: your venue, site or crew. A work group is what they do on a shift: bar, kitchen, front of house. Name, team, work group, and they're ready to be rostered.
📅 Three ways to build a roster
Add shifts manually for full control, copy last week forward, or let Smart Roster autofill from a roster plan and your team's availability.
📣 Publish it
Happy with the roster? Hit publish and your team hears about it in seconds. No round of texts required.
⏱️ Clocking in
Staff clock in and out on the Droppah Time Clock app on a shared device at the venue. Their hours flow straight into timesheets.
✅ Review, approve, send to payroll
Approve timesheets at the end of the week and they're sent through to your payroll system. Nothing lands in payroll until you've signed it off.
🔌 POS and payroll integrations
Connect your POS for sales data, and your payroll system so approved time flows through.

📊 Labour cost against revenue
With your POS connected, Droppah shows labour cost as a percentage of revenue right alongside the roster, so you know whether next week is affordable before you publish it.
🔐 Who sees what
Admins see the whole account. Team managers see only the teams they're assigned to, with pay rates hidden by default. Employees see their own shifts, timesheets and requests.
📱 Droppah on your phone
Employees check shifts, timesheets and clock history, request time off, ask for cover and chat with the team. Managers and admins can build rosters, edit and approve timesheets, clock people in and out, and add employees.
