Youth Hostel Staff Schedule Management

You manage a youth hostel and want to plan your employees' working hours? Discover Shyfter, the schedule management software for the hospitality sector. Streamline your staff's time-tracking while keeping control of their working time and absences.

Time tracking

Secure your employees' clock-in, break and clock-out times with a mobile app that allows one-tap clocking using a tablet or smartphone. Shyfter's digital badge terminal, through the Shyfter Staff and Shyfter POS apps, secures your employees' access and records each person's attendance times in your youth hostel.

Schedules

Your teams are present day and night. Between maintenance staff for common areas, rooms and dormitories and reception agents, everyone finds in Shyfter an intuitive interface for managing their hours. Choose Shyfter and simply enter working hours, break times or leave and share these schedules with your teams in a single click.

Leave

Shyfter and its Shyfter Staff app allow your staff to submit leave requests. The manager simply has to approve or refuse leave from their interface. Everything stays under your control while giving each employee autonomy in managing their leave and absences.

Absences

A sick leave or an absence for personal reasons must be justified to the youth hostel manager. Shyfter software allows each person to notify their absence and submit the medical certificate or any other document from their smartphone or tablet.

Overtime

Managing overtime for employees or seasonal staff is not always straightforward, as it depends on the employment contract and hours to be worked. The Shyfter app integrates contracted hours and automatically calculates overtime worked.

Productivity

Shyfter contributes to improving productivity at your youth hostel. General administration of employees, attendance times, leave or absence days and overtime is brought together in a single app. This makes it easy to manage all your staffing needs.
