The best teams don’t run on a group chat.
Mately started with a simple observation: too many good businesses are still being run out of a WhatsApp group. Shifts in one chat, cover in another, hours in a notebook, contracts in a drawer. It works — until it doesn’t. We thought the teams that take their people seriously deserved something built for the job.
What we’re here to do
Give small businesses — the pubs, cafés, shops and care teams that run on shifts — the kind of software big chains pay a fortune for, without the cost or the complexity. We put rota, clock-ins, leave, chat and payroll in one place so running things properly is the easy option, not the hard one. Less admin, fewer no-shows, and Sunday nights back.
We’re a small, independent UK team that ships fast and listens harder. When you email us, a human who actually works on Mately reads it.
What we believe
Simple beats clever
If a busy manager can’t use it during a Friday rush, it doesn’t ship. One app, no manual, no training day.
One fair price
£4.99 per person, everything included. No tiers, no add-ons, no “contact sales” — and it scales as you do.
Security isn’t optional
We hold pay rates, hours and contracts. Encryption, 2FA and GDPR-ready exports are the baseline, not an upsell.
Set up in minutes
Doing it properly used to mean spreadsheets and setup fees. Now it takes minutes — so a tidier, more professional operation is the easy choice.
Come and run your team properly.
