Kupaly — your team’s schedule, handled.
Kupaly is a virtual assistant manager for UK shift-work teams in hospitality, retail and care. Tell it how your business runs, and it takes rotas, time off and shift swaps off your plate — kept inside your rules, 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
Working-time rules are enforced while the rota is written.
Most rota tools let you build whatever you like and flag the problems afterwards. Kupaly does it the other way round: rest gaps, contracted hours, availability and cover are constraints on the draft, so the rota you are handed already fits.
Kupaly
Rules enforced during generation
The draft cannot break them. You approve it, or say what to change and get another one that still fits.
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. It arrives compliant and covered. You approve it, 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. Coverage and policy are checked before anything is confirmed, and the manager stays in the loop.
Your assistant manager
Meet Kupa.
Kupa runs the rota the way an assistant manager would. Tell it once when something changes — a new starter, a rule, someone's hours — and every draft from then on keeps it.
Kupaly is the product. Kupa is who's running it for you.
An example conversation
- No one under 18 on a close, and Priya is off Thursdays now.
- Noted. Next week’s draft is rebuilt — Priya moved to Tuesday, closes covered by over-18s, nobody over their contracted hours. 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
Coverage and policy are checked before a swap is confirmed, and the manager signs it off. Nothing changes behind anyone’s back.
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.
