Hopsy

What Hopsy does

Hopsy, operated under UK-registered private limited company SCHAA Ltd from its base in Liverpool, is a cloud-based SaaS and mobile application providing hospitality operators with an integrated platform for task management, safety and compliance, food safety, and labour management. Its primary users are UK-based pubs, restaurants, bars, and cafés, with an explicit emphasis on multi-site operators that require centralised visibility over venue-level compliance, checklist execution, and staff scheduling. The company states that its platform is used by thousands of hospitality operators and publicly references enterprise pub-group customers including OV Group, Valiant Pubs, and Kingdom Group in its case studies.

The platform is delivered through both a web application at hopsy.app and a mobile app, hosted in EU data centres under GDPR-compliant infrastructure. Its core functional modules are (i) task management — customisable checklists, cleaning schedules, meter readings, toilet checks, photo capture, corrective actions, meetings with signature capture, and document management; (ii) safety management — health and safety, fire safety, online risk assessments, policy distribution, incident reporting with email notifications, and audits/inspections; (iii) food safety — HACCP checks, allergen tracking, deliveries, fit-to-work declarations, legionella testing, critical control point records, and a food safety dashboard; and (iv) labour management — weekly rota planning, split shifts, rates of pay, holiday requests, GPS-enabled clock-in/out, and cost-centre reporting. Real-time compliance scoring and dashboards provide estate-wide visibility for area managers and operators, and the platform allows configuration changes over time through customer support rather than fixed templates.

Hopsy monetises through a tiered, per-venue subscription model: a free "Hopsy Lite" tier covers national safety campaign tools (Ask for Angela, Anti-Spiking, Martyn's Law Counter Terrorism), incident raising, and basic compliance scoring; "Hopsy Pro" is priced at £40 per venue per month and unlocks H&S and fire safety compliance, the risk assessment builder, staff policies, audit and action management, and compliance dashboards; a Labour Management module is £25 per venue per month for rota planning, wage forecasting, leave management, and GPS clock-in; and a Food Safety package is sold as a separate bolt-on. Billing is monthly, contracts are not required, and a 14-day free trial is available for the paid modules. The go-to-market combines product-led growth (self-serve free trial via hopsy.co.uk) with direct sales engagement for multi-site enterprise prospects, supported by content marketing, organic social on LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and Facebook, and demo scheduling.

Direct peers

• Planday: Workforce management SaaS with a strong UK hospitality footprint, covering rota planning, time clock, and employee engagement. Overlaps directly with Hopsy's labour scheduling and clock-in functionality.
• Deputy: Global workforce management platform widely used by UK and Australian hospitality operators for scheduling, shift swapping, and time tracking. Competes with Hopsy's Labour Management module for the same shift-based buyer.
• Rotaready: UK hospitality-specific staff scheduling, payroll integration, and labour cost control tool. Competes head-to-head with Hopsy for the same multi-site pub and restaurant groups.
• Bizimply: Ireland- and UK-focused SaaS for hospitality workforce management, including rotas, time tracking, and HR. Directly comparable to Hopsy's Labour Management module and shares the same UK/Ireland multi-site pub and restaurant customer base.
• Trail (by Zonal): UK hospitality operations platform providing task management, compliance checks, and team communication for restaurants and pubs. Closest direct competitor in terms of product scope and target customer.

Emerging players

• Connecteam: Mobile-first workforce management app for deskless workers, including hospitality. Overlaps with Hopsy on scheduling, task management, and clock-in, with broader SMB reach and a heavier PLG motion.

Broad incumbents

• Fourth (Infor Hospitality): Enterprise hospitality workforce management, inventory, and purchasing platform serving large multi-site operators. Competes for the same enterprise pub-group accounts Hopsy targets, with broader functional scope.
• Lightspeed Restaurant: Restaurant POS and operations platform with built-in staff management and reporting features. Targets the same UK multi-site restaurant and hospitality segment with a bundled alternative to point tools.
• Zonal: Leading UK hospitality technology provider offering EPoS, loyalty, and back-office software. Acquired Trail to extend into operations/compliance, directly encroaching on Hopsy's wedge with a much larger installed base.
• Toast: Major US restaurant platform now expanding into the UK, combining POS, payroll, team management, and compliance-adjacent tools. Represents the well-funded broad incumbent threat to vertical specialists like Hopsy.
