Kupaly — your team’s schedule, drafted for you to approve.
Kupaly is a virtual assistant manager for UK shift-work teams in hospitality, retail and care. Tell it how your business runs, and it drafts the rota with rest between shifts and under-18 hour limits built in, plus the rules you set, ready for you to approve.
Runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install. Free while in preview, with fair-usage limits on assistant chat.
The difference
Rest between shifts and under-18 hour limits, built into every draft.
Most rota tools let you build whatever you like and flag the problems afterwards. Kupaly writes the rota with rest between shifts and under-18 hour limits built into the draft, plus the rules you set in plain English. You approve it before publishing.
Kupaly
Built into the draft
Rest between shifts and under-18 hour limits, plus your own rules in plain English. You approve it, or say what to change, before it is published.
The usual way
Rules checked after the fact
Build it yourself, find out later what it breaks, rebuild it. Every week, forever.
How it works
From Monday draft to Friday sign-off.
Step 1
Tell Kupa how the place runs
Team, locations, opening hours, contracted hours, the rules you have to keep. A conversation, not forty settings screens.
Step 2
Get a draft rota on your cadence
Weekly, fortnightly, whatever you already run. Rest between shifts and under-18 hour limits are built into every draft, plus your own rules in plain English. You approve it before publishing, or say what to change.
Step 3
The week sorts itself out in chat
Availability, time off, swaps and cover are arranged in the app. By default, nothing is confirmed until a manager approves it.
The assistant
Meet Kupa.
Kupa is the assistant inside Kupaly. It is who you talk to when you are setting the place up, when a rule changes, or when you want next week drafted differently.
Kupaly is the product. Kupa is the part you have a conversation with.
An example conversation
- No one under 18 on a close, and Priya is off Thursdays now.
- Noted. Kupaly has rebuilt next week’s draft — Priya moved to Tuesday, closes covered by over-18s. Want to look before it goes out?
- Send it.
For the team
One screen, zero tab-hopping.
Everyone sees the same rota, in the same place, on whatever they already carry. No printout on the back of a door, no group chat archaeology.
Your shifts, always current
The published rota in the browser, updated the moment it changes.
Availability and time off
Sent in the app, and fed straight into the next draft.
Swaps and cover, arranged in chat
By default, a manager signs off every swap.
Hours and leave you can hand to payroll
Exact rostered-hours and leave reports, per person and per location.
Not another rota spreadsheet.
Kupaly is open to teams across the UK while it is in preview. Free to use, with fair-usage limits on assistant chat.

You will be moved across.
Snappy Staff will be retired once the Kupaly preview ends, and everyone still on it will be migrated to Kupaly. There is nothing to do now — we will be in touch well before anything changes. If you would rather move early, open the preview and we will bring your team over.
