Staff Management for Accommodation Professionals

Your accommodation establishment requires perfect planning of your employees' working hours. Stay perfectly organised, especially during your peak tourist season, and keep control of your operation by choosing a schedule management software for the hospitality sector.

Time tracking

Nothing is more important than effective time-tracking software for your permanent, fixed-term, casual and seasonal employees. The Shyfter mobile app allows them to clock in with a single tap from their tablet or smartphone. Secured by a personal PIN code, the Shyfter Staff and Shyfter POS apps are intuitive and make it very easy to record attendance times within your accommodation establishment.

Schedules

Easily set up your work schedules covering day or night reception shifts, cleaning accommodation units, maintaining common areas and outdoor spaces, and various evening events and activities. Choose a simplified interface, integrate your hours and break times or leave with an interface designed for your profession.

Leave

Because managing leave for staff working in accommodation facilities such as campsites, hotels and youth hostels is often complicated, Shyfter and its Shyfter Staff app allow each employee to submit their leave requests. Everything remains under the manager's control, who is free to approve or refuse them.

Absences

Submitting an absence request for personal reasons or sick leave is also done directly from the Shyfter software. A key advantage: the ability to attach a medical certificate or any other supporting document from the mobile app.

Overtime

Managing overtime is often a thorny issue for accommodation facilities. Between permanent employees' overtime and that of casual workers and seasonal staff, Shyfter's software and mobile app manage hours based on contracted or actual hours worked.

Productivity

Staff administration for the accommodation facility is possible according to the position held and current needs. This improves productivity at your campsite, hotel or youth hostel and gives you instant visibility of who is currently on shift. This tracking is particularly useful for managing a campsite's schedule.
