SCHEDULING
Shift patterns, swap requests, time-off — without an extra app. Mobile-first for the team.
PAYROLL
Tip distribution, hours, overtime — calculated from the same source. No reconciliation across tools.
ONBOARDING
Contracts, A1 forms, ID checks. German and EU labor law templates included.
In operation
The app sits inside the shared Kotao workspace. That is the difference between adding one more tool and running the daily workflow on an operating system.
Every action writes back to the same operating record instead of collecting data for later exports.
Roles, permissions, and audit logs stay connected to the rest of the workspace.
Reporting, CRM, payments, and website surfaces see the change without a team checking CSVs.
Rollout
Kotao does not need to be switched on all at once. Most teams start with the workflow that costs the most time today, then expand after the team trusts it.
We start with the way the team works today: who touches it, which data is missing, and which systems still need to connect.
Products, customers, roles, bookings, and payments are modelled so other Kotao apps can use the same source of truth.
One location, one team, or one clear process goes live first so operators see production behavior, not a demo script.
Once the core workflow is stable, more locations, apps, automations, and reports can be switched on without re-importing data.
Connected apps
Once this workflow is live, adjacent apps can use the same customers, products, payments, and permissions.
