Hotel staff rostering & HR software

Use occupancy forecasts, arrivals and departures, and event sheets to build costed rosters for front desk, housekeeping, food and beverage, concierge, banquets, maintenance, and night audit. Drag‑and‑drop scheduling helps managers balance skills, qualifications, and budgets, then publish changes in seconds with instant alerts. See how templates and open shifts speed up planning in RosterElf’s rostering tools.

Replace paper timesheets with mobile and kiosk clock‑ins that capture start, finish and breaks with photo or GPS. Compare actual hours to the roster, flag variances, and approve in bulk across departments and sites. This tight link between time capture and scheduling reduces disputes and prepares payroll data automatically. Learn what smart tracking looks like in time and attendance.

Convert approved timesheets into accurate pay with award rules, overtime, weekend and public‑holiday penalties applied before export to Xero or MYOB. Keep payroll aligned to the roster while controlling labour costs in busy periods. Automation reduces manual entry and errors, giving managers real‑time confidence in wage spend. See the integrations in payroll integration.

Let staff request annual leave, RDOs and unavailable dates in the app; managers approve with the impact on coverage clearly highlighted. Rosters update instantly so housekeeping boards, front desk and events stay properly staffed. Accruals flow through to scheduling for better planning during peak seasons and large conferences. Use shared calendars to plan cross‑department coverage. Explore leave management.

Give hotel teams a simple mobile experience: view shifts, confirm, swap, and get push notifications when rosters change. Supervisors can approve timesheets on the go and message staff tied to specific shifts or locations. Mobile access lifts adoption of scheduling and time capture while reducing no‑shows and confusion for casual pools. Managers can also review availability and fill gaps fast. Discover the apps in mobile.

Keep conversations work‑focused with chat that’s linked to shifts, roles and departments. Coordinate housekeeping turns, late check‑outs, amenity requests and function resets without messy group threads. Managers can broadcast updates to teams and resolve issues faster, improving guest experience during peaks. Retain an auditable thread per shift to cut noise and clarify responsibility. See how it works in the employee chat app.

Track RSA for bar staff, first‑aid for supervisors, and other venue licences or tickets in one place with automated expiry reminders. Managers see who is qualified before scheduling and audits are simpler across multi‑site properties. Document management reduces risk and prevents last‑minute roster changes. Centralise it with licence and certification management.

Digitise contracts, policies and induction forms so new hires are roster‑ready sooner. Collect bank, tax and super details securely and route tasks to department heads. Standardised onboarding reduces admin, accelerates time‑to‑first‑shift and ensures compliance before scheduling begins. Use checklists to verify uniforms, RSA and site briefings on day one. Start fast with employee onboarding.
