Things you can ask it
Staffing and rosters
"Who's rostered at [site] this week?"
"How many shifts is the Bar team running on Saturday?"
"Who can work as a Barista?"
Labor cost
"What's this week's rostered wage cost?"
"Which site is the most expensive to roster?"
"Did we come in over budget last week?"
Rostered vs. actual
"Did anyone work a shift they weren't rostered for?"
"Who didn't show up for their shift?"
Revenue and performance
"What did we take last Saturday?"
"Which site earns the most on weekends?"
"How does our wage cost compare to revenue this month?"
People and roles
"How experienced is [name] at [role]?"
"Who manages the Front of House team?"
You don't need to phrase these exactly right. Claude will ask a follow-up if it needs a date range or a specific site.
Recreate a report format you already use
Already have a report layout you like, maybe something your accountant sends or a template from your old system? Claude can rebuild it using your live Droppah data, and even run it automatically every week. See Ask Claude to Match Your Existing Report Format.
FAQ
Which Droppah plans include this? Free and Works. It's not available on Time Clock or any legacy plans. If you're not sure which plan you're on, check Droppah's plan settings or reach out to your account manager.
What data can Claude see? Your teams, staff, roles (work groups), published rosters, recorded timesheets, and revenue you've entered or synced into Droppah. It can look up individual people, teams, and roles as well as pull data across a date range.
Can Claude make changes in Droppah? No. The connector is read-only. It can look things up but can't create, edit, or delete rosters, timesheets, people, or anything else in your account.
How accurate are the cost figures Claude gives me? They're a useful estimate, not a payroll figure. They're based on current pay rates and any set allowances, but they don't include tax, KiwiSaver/Superannuation, or leave accrual.
Does Claude see pay rates or personal details? It doesn't have access to pay rates. It can see basic contact details for staff (name, email, phone) when you ask about a specific person, so treat those answers as you would any other staff record.
Why does Claude sometimes take a moment on big requests? Large date ranges or big teams return a lot of rows, and Claude reads them in batches of up to 500 at a time. For big pulls (a whole quarter across every site, for example) it may take a few extra steps to gather everything.
Does it only show me published rosters? Yes. Claude sees the same published roster your staff can see. It won't reflect draft changes you haven't published yet.
Can my team managers or staff connect this themselves? No, only account admins can connect the Droppah connector. Team managers and employees aren't able to connect it.
Can I connect more than one Droppah account? No, a single connection links to one Droppah account at a time. If you manage multiple Droppah accounts, you'll need to disconnect and reconnect under the other account to switch.
