For hotels
Scheduling for hotels – around the clock, department by department
Reception, housekeeping and kitchen in one plan with night shifts, an absence calendar and managers who each run their own department.
Sound familiar?
- Every hour must be covered Reception must be staffed all night, even when someone calls in sick.
- Many departments, one plan Housekeeping, reception and kitchen are planned separately and don't fit together.
- Holiday and absence without an overview Holiday requests sit in emails and on notes, and gaps are discovered too late.
How ShiftFriend helps
- Round-the-clock staffing and night shifts The night shift from 23 to 07 is one shift with the night supplement calculated correctly, and you see coverage around the clock.
- Reception, housekeeping and kitchen Each department has its own colour and staffing needs, and everyone sees the same plan.
- Absence calendar Holiday, sickness and days off are requested and approved in the app and shown in a shared calendar, so you see gaps in good time.
- Manager roles per department Give the housekeeping and kitchen managers access to exactly their department – without giving access to everything.
