It started in a restaurant, not a pitch deck.

Md Alqurayish Sharkar has spent the last five years building software for the hospitality industry: three products before ScanRoster, each one surfacing more of where hospitality operations actually break down. Before founding ScanRoster, he built a premium staffing solution for hospitality teams, work that shaped how he thinks about attendance, scheduling, and the problems operators live with every day.

As an AI product engineer, he combines that hands-on hospitality experience with deep product and data work, including payroll and compensation systems, building ScanRoster around problems he has actually solved before rather than theorised about.

Works on how ScanRoster reaches the operators it is built for: which venues it fits, what they go looking for when a rota stops holding, and which claims on this site survive contact with a real service. The numbers behind sign-ups land here first, which keeps the pricing page and the roadmap answering questions operators actually ask.
