Reward the retail staff who go the extra mile — with points that turn into real cash

RotaStars lets shops, stores and retail chains reward and recognise outstanding work with points that convert straight to real cash — for covering a shift at short notice, keeping the shop floor running during a rush, five-star customer mentions, hitting a sales target, or any category you set up yourself. You award it, your team sees it instantly, and you pay out on your terms.

Recognition your staff can actually spend

Badges and star charts don't pay rent. RotaStars turns real effort into real money — the kind of reward that changes whether someone shows up for their next shift.

MOST "RECOGNITION" TOOLS

  • Points, badges or leaderboards with no cash value
  • Built for offices, awkwardly bolted onto shift rotas
  • Managers still track who's owed what in a spreadsheet
  • Staff have no visibility until payday, if at all

ROTASTARS

  • Points convert to real cash your staff can withdraw
  • Built specifically for retail and rota-based teams
  • Every award, cash-out and balance tracked automatically
  • Staff log in any time and see exactly where they stand

Everything you need, nothing you don't

When staff feel valued, they stay

Every point they earn shows up instantly — category, running total, full history, right on their phone. Recognition they can see for themselves, whenever they check.

Categorised points

Covered a Shift, Above & Beyond, Sales Star of the Month, or write your own reason — every award comes with a short note explaining exactly what it's for, so staff always know why.

🎁

Built-in signing bonus

Unlocks automatically once a new starter is marked as past probation and contracted. One click, awarded once — no risk of it slipping through the cracks.

💰

Cash-out requests, handled

Why we built this for retail

We built RotaStars for a care agency that was tired of chasing spreadsheets to figure out who'd earned what. Once it was live, the pattern was obvious: staff who could see their effort turn into real money, in real time, stuck around and pulled extra shifts without being asked twice.

That's not a care-specific problem. It's a shift-work problem — and retail deals with some of the highest staff turnover of any UK sector. So we're bringing the same platform, the same real-cash mechanic, and the same simple pricing to shops, stores and retail chains fighting the exact same battle to keep good staff.

We're onboarding our first retail stores now, and — same as we did in care — founding stores get direct input into what we build next, plus a rate that's locked in for good.

FOUNDING STORE RATE

Simple pricing

£59/month per store
Up to 70 staff. Unlimited points. Cancel any time.
Founding rate — rises to £89/month once early onboarding closes. Join now, keep £59 forever.
Do the maths: replacing a single retail staff member costs far more than a year of RotaStars. Keep one extra team member this year and it pays for itself many times over.

Common questions

Is this just a bonus scheme with extra steps?

No — bonuses are usually one-off and invisible to staff until payday. RotaStars gives staff a live, running balance they can check any time, awarded for specific moments as they happen, with cash-out on their terms.

How do staff actually get paid?

Staff request a cash-out from their dashboard, capped per request. You get notified instantly and mark it paid from your own dashboard — however you already run payments today.

Is there a contract?

No. RotaStars is £59/month, month-to-month, cancel any time. As a founding store, that rate is locked in for as long as you stay.

How long does setup take?

Most stores are live within minutes — register your store, add your team, and start awarding points the same day.
