About Turnozo
Turnozo helps small shift-based businesses build schedules and track hours without spreadsheets or WhatsApp. Managers plan shifts by role and location, publish them and notify the team, while staff clock in and out from their phone with one tap, with optional GPS location checks. The app also handles absences, availability and shift swaps, and produces automatic timesheets with monthly hours exports for payroll.
Onboarding can be done on your own with the Turnozo assistant, or by sending your current rota as a spreadsheet or photo so the team imports employees, sets up roles and locations and builds the first weeks of shifts, which the site says takes under 48 hours. Target industries are restaurants and cafes, hotels and hostels, retail, clinics and healthcare, cleaning and services, and gyms and fitness.
The Essential plan costs 9.99 euros monthly and covers a single location with as many as 10 employees, with no lock-in. A 14-day free trial needs no credit card, and the site notes direct support from the people who build it.
