Staff Scheduling Made Simple for
Hotels & Restaurants

Restaurants can place a tablet near the staff entrance, kitchen, or office so staff clock in as soon as they arrive. Attendance Rota records the exact clock-in time automatically, which means managers do not need to manually check who arrived late before service begins. Facial recognition can also be used to make sure the right person is clocking in.

Hotels usually need a system that handles multiple shift patterns. Attendance Rota includes shift planning where early shifts, evening shifts, overnight teams, and rolling patterns can all be created and assigned in advance.

As staff clock in through a tablet, rugged device, or mobile app, attendance appears live on the dashboard. Managers can immediately see who has arrived for reception, housekeeping, kitchen, or maintenance shifts.

Yes. Different departments can all use one system. Kitchen staff, waiters, bar teams, reception teams, and supervisors can each have their own shifts while managers still see attendance together in one place.

Buddy punching happens when one employee clocks in for another. Attendance Rota helps prevent this by using facial recognition, fingerprint, or swipe card options so each attendance record is linked to the actual staff member.

Managers can assign shifts by role or by individual person inside one rota. This means chefs, front-of-house teams, cleaning staff, and supervisors can all be planned together without separate spreadsheets.

Yes. Attendance Rota supports different shift types, including recurring and rolling patterns, which works well for split shifts such as lunch service and evening service.

Staff can submit sickness requests through the mobile app, and managers can review them immediately. This makes it easier to react quickly and arrange replacement cover.

Yes. Shift planning can be set by staff role, which is useful when businesses first decide how many kitchen, bar, service, or housekeeping staff are needed before assigning names.

Because managers can view assigned shifts, unassigned gaps, and future cover in one place, rota problems are easier to spot before peak service begins.

Yes. Each staff member has access to a mobile app where they can see shifts in daily, weekly, or monthly view before arriving at work.

Multiple locations can be added into one system, so restaurant groups, hotel groups, or café operators can manage attendance across all venues centrally.

Yes. Staff can submit holiday requests through the app, and managers can approve or decline them while also seeing remaining holiday entitlement.

Yes. Sickness requests can be sent through the app, and if required, a doctor’s note can also be attached.

Attendance records from all departments feed into one dashboard, making it easier for managers to monitor every team without switching between systems.

Digital attendance removes manual timesheet errors because start and finish times are captured automatically and stored clearly for payroll use.

Yes. Because actual clock-in and clock-out times are recorded against scheduled shifts, overtime becomes much easier to identify.

Attendance reports can be generated quickly and filtered by employee, department, location, or date range whenever records are needed for audits or internal checks.

Yes. Managers can compare attendance against rota planning to see which shifts are overstaffed, understaffed, or regularly running overtime.

The most useful reports usually include attendance, sickness, holiday usage, and overtime records. Custom reports can also be created if a hotel or restaurant group needs something more specific.
