You manage a hotel and want to improve the planning of your employees' hours? Keep control of your hotel operation with the schedule management software for the hospitality sector.

Time tracking

Using the Shyfter app to create a staff schedule for your accommodation allows all your hotel staff to clock in from a tablet or smartphone. Through the Shyfter Staff and Shyfter POS apps and their personal PIN code, everyone manages their own time. You still maintain control over daily time-tracking and verify attendance in one click.

Schedules

Set up day and night hours and schedules in two clicks. Manage timetables and define working hours as well as any service changes from Shyfter's intuitive interface.

Leave

Give each hotel employee the ability to submit leave requests online 24/7 from their smartphone or tablet. All you have to do is approve or refuse them. These items are then easily transmitted to the payroll department.

Absences

Exceptional absences for each hotel employee can be submitted in Shyfter. The app allows the attachment of medical certificates or any other document to simplify the administrative handling of absences.

Overtime

The secure integration of working hours into Shyfter enables optimised management of overtime for your hotel employees based on contracted or actual hours worked.
