Roux Roster
The roster, the clock and the conversation share one people record.
Time clock

Explore Time clock →Scheduling
Who is on, when and where — including shift replacements. Staff see next week only after Publish; drafts stay manager-only.
Explore Scheduling →Staff messaging
Message the team from the same people record as the roster, with the conversation held alongside the week.

Coming soon · App StoreThe gap
The same week, split across tools.
Labour is split across tools
Roster in one tool, clock in another, messages in a third, spreadsheet after close.
Cold rooms are guessed
Door air is not product temperature. Glycol immersion gives the scientific reading.
Stock and plates drift
Purchase order, inwards goods and costing stop agreeing when they are not the same numbers.
Nowhere to read the week
No single place to monitor financial, temperature and operations together.
Seven jobs. One Roux.
Roster first. The rest of the floor on the same base.
Time clock
Clock on at the venue. Hours from the floor, not after close.
Scheduling
Who is on, when, and where — including shift replacements.
Staff messaging
Message the team from the same record as the roster.
Temperature probes
Integrated temperature probes with monitoring. Glycol immersion reads product temperature; air at an open door does not.
Stock ordering
Purchase order automation and inwards goods monitoring. Not diner-page online ordering.
Food costing
Roux Costing
Know the plate cost before the menu is printed. Ingredient and recipe based.
Reporting
Next-level reporting. Seriously. One place to read the week.
Seven jobs. One Roux.
Time clock, scheduling, messaging, probes, stock, costing, reporting. One login.
Rest of the base
Same base. Rest of the floor.
Once people are on one record, temperatures, stock, plates and reporting stop living in separate subscriptions.
Temperature
Read product temperature, then surface the gaps.
Glycol immersion reads product temperature; air at an open door does not. Monitoring and verification stay with the operational week.

fatpukus.co.nz →Why Roux
Built on the floor, not on a pitch deck.
Roux was created by two tech people who owned restaurants — hospitality experience and cloud technology. They saw no single place for financial, temperature and operations, so they built the base they had needed on the floor.
Time clock, scheduling, messaging, probes, stock, costing, reporting. One login.
