📌 Recipe · Chicken liver parfaitCan anyone cover my Friday 5–11 close? Swapped my plans last minute 🙏
↻ Shift cover · tap to claimFrontline teams turn over fast. New starters feel lost on day one, messages get missed, and the same questions get asked every single shift. Grafter pulls it all into one app your team genuinely wants to open.
Each tool works on its own — together they replace the pile of apps, spreadsheets and group chats you're juggling now.
A social feed and group chat your team will actually check. Auto-groups by role and site, so people only see what's relevant to them.
An ever-patient AI that knows your handbooks, recipes and policies. Staff get instant answers instead of pulling a manager off the floor.
Build the rota once, publish in a tap. Staff pick up open shifts and swap between them — even across your other sites.
Bite-sized lessons, quizzes and games that get done. Track progress and prove compliance — allergens, licensing, food safety.
Recipes, SOPs, supplier lists and policies — one source of truth in everyone's pocket, always the latest version.
Opening and closedown dockets, cleaning rotas and food-safety logs — ticked off and time-stamped, ready for the EHO.
Quick check-ins on how the team's feeling. Spot the wobble before your best people hand in their notice.
A confidential, fully anonymous whistleblowing channel so staff can flag issues safely — and you can act early.
See turnover, engagement and how each site's performing — one clear dashboard, no spreadsheets required.
Your name, your colours, your logo. Go further and ship the app under your own brand in the App Store and Google Play.
Let staff draw a slice of pay the moment a shift ends. A real edge for hiring — rolling out with a regulated partner.
Sits on top of the systems you already use. Connect payroll and EPOS as you grow — Grafter is the layer your team lives in.
No company email needed, works on personal phones, and so simple a new starter is up and running in their first five minutes.
No per-head maths, no "contact sales to find out the price." What you see is what you pay. Add a second venue whenever you're ready.
Running 10+ sites or a franchise? Group plans include your own-brand app in the stores & a dedicated account manager. · Add-ons: fully white-label app · extra AI usage · FlexiPay (coming soon).
"I spent years on the pass and teaching young chefs in Belfast. I built Grafter because the apps we were handed never understood the floor. This one does."
James Neilly · Founder, Grafter & Prezence Studios
We're local. We answer the phone. And we know the difference between a Friday-night service and a quiet Tuesday — because we've worked both. That's the edge a big software firm can't ship.
"Onboarding used to take a fortnight of hand-holding. New starters now turn up on day one already knowing the menu and the routine."
"The shift-swap feature alone paid for it. No more 6am 'can anyone cover' texts to the whole team."
"Staff actually ask the app instead of me now. I get my evenings back and the answers are spot on."
No. Staff join with a phone number or a simple invite link and use the app on their own phones. Onboarding a new starter takes a couple of minutes.
A single venue is live in about five minutes. Drop in your team, upload your handbook, and the AI assistant is ready to answer from it straight away. We'll help you import what you've got.
Grafter is built GDPR-first, with data hosted in the UK/EU and encryption in transit and at rest. We never sell staff data. Full data-processing terms are provided before you go live.
Your own content — handbooks, recipes, SOPs and policies you upload. It answers staff questions from those, so the guidance is always your way of doing things, not a generic web answer.
It's on the roadmap and rolling out with a regulated payments partner, so it meets UK financial rules. Join the waitlist and we'll switch it on for your venue first.
Yes. Every plan is themed in your colours and logo. On Group plans we can publish a fully white-label app under your own name on the App Store and Google Play.
