Run your business like one happy team.
Hubbub HQ is the friendly app for small shift-based businesses. Rotas, shift swaps, team chat and the daily checks, all in one place your crew will actually use.
Sound familiar?
The rota lives in a spreadsheet
Every change means reprinting, re-texting and crossed fingers.
The team lives in WhatsApp
Six group chats, no record, and the new starter isn't in any of them.
The paperwork lives on a clipboard
Fridge temps, cleaning checks, stock counts. Done, probably. Provable? Not really.
One site or five, one team.
Hubbub HQwas born in a multi-site business, so the hard parts are built in: one rota across every location, staff borrowed between sites without double-booking, and a live map of who's where. Start with one site and add the next for £15 a month.
Rota & swaps
Shifts sort themselves out.
Everyone sees their own week and month at a glance, while managers plan every site from one screen and stamp a master week across the month. When someone can't make it, they put their shift up for cover and the first taker gets it. No phone-tag, and nobody gets booked in two places at once.
Team chat
One place, not WhatsApp chaos.
Site channels, direct messages, and an on-site room that resets every day. Everyone lands in the right conversations from their first shift and drops out when they leave.
Daily checks & compliance
The clipboard, done properly.
Fridge temps, cleaning checklists and stock counts, filled in on a phone. You get a live view of what's done and what's due across every site, and a flag goes up the moment a reading is out of range.
Who's on
All your sites at a glance.
See who's checked in where, right now, on a live map. Brilliant when you run more than one location and can't be in all of them.
Your brand
It's your app.
Your name, your colours, your logo, even your own names for roles. Your crew installs your app, not ours.
The nice bits
A bit of love, built in.
Birthdays, shout-outs and celebrations. The small stuff that makes a scattered team feel like one team.
…and the everyday stuff, handled
Personal calendar feeds
Everyone's shifts, live in their own Google, Apple or Outlook calendar.
Build your own checks
Design your own daily and weekly checks, from temperature readings with safe ranges to photos and sign-offs, and change them whenever you need.
Hours & payroll export
Check-ins turn into timesheets. Forgotten check-outs close themselves at shift end, anything odd gets flagged for a quick fix, and the week downloads as a CSV ready for payroll.
Your how-to guides
Allergen sheets, machine guides and house rules in one searchable place on every phone, shown only at the sites where they apply.
Noticeboard & polls
Post the things nobody's allowed to miss and see exactly who's seen them. Quick polls settle the questions that don't need a meeting.
Time off & availability
Staff record time off and the days they can't do; the rota plans around both automatically.
Built hand-in-hand with a real coffee business in Kent, not in a boardroom.
