The manager's week: drag a shift, watch the totals move, then publish. Every row is one WhatsApp thread.

The whole loop runs in a chat window

Your managers work in BentoPing. Nobody else has to log in anywhere.

1
Build the week

Start from last week, drop in casuals, and watch wage cost move as you edit.

2
Publish to WhatsApp

Every person gets their own shifts — not a photo of a spreadsheet everyone squints at.

3
Leave by reply

Staff request time off in the thread. You approve or decline from your phone.

4
Hours that add up

Approved leave and worked shifts become timesheets, exported to payroll.

Publish next week's roster tonight.

Free for 30 days. Your staff already have the app.
