Roux for accountants and bookkeepers

Hospitality hours, approved and in Xero as a draft.

Refer your café, restaurant and bar clients to Roux. Their managers approve the clocks; the hours arrive in Xero as a draft, split Mon–Fri, Saturday, Sunday and overtime. Nothing is final until it's approved in Xero.

Timesheets arrive late, in screenshots and texts.

Rostered hours and worked hours don't match.

Penalty and overtime splits get fixed by hand at pay run.

  1. The venue builds and publishes the roster. Staff see the week once it's published.

  2. Staff clock on at the wall iPad — name and 4-digit PIN.

  3. Managers approve the clocks. Only approved clocks go to payroll — never the roster plan.

  4. Approved hours go to Xero as a draft, split Mon–Fri ordinary, Saturday, Sunday and overtime (after 38 ordinary hours: the first 2 overtime hours, then double time). Public holidays apply once the venue's state is set.

  5. Not on Xero yet? Starter can export approved hours as CSV.
