Staff Scheduling Software for Hotels

What with customers arriving and departing at all times of day, rooms to clean, people to feed, and staff to organise, we can’t imagine many industries that are busier than hotels. Or that need to manage shifts more carefully. Hint, hint.

In a startling turn of luck, we can help with that. Create different schedules for different areas of the business to make them easier to manage, assign staff different job roles or duties, reassign and edit shifts on the fly, and manage leave and sickness so that your staffing levels stay healthy even when your team aren’t.

We’re committed to providing cloud-based shift scheduling and HR software that is genuinely focused on the user experience, both for you and for your employees. With a more straightforward and intuitive interface than the average scheduling software and considerably more features and automation than a spreadsheet or - perish the thought - a handwritten rota, we like to think that we can make your life a lot easier. Saving you hours of work every month, not to mention untold headaches, is a bit of a bonus too, as is the money you can save by making sure that you never have more staff on site than you need. Sound good to you? We hoped it might.

" Shiftie has been a game-changer for us. Having tried other scheduling software with limited success, we started using Shiftie and saw immediate benefits from both a management and team perspective. "

" We have been using Shiftie for our busy summer season and it has been fantastic. Rota's have been quick and it's built in holiday accrual and monitoring has been a great help. Timesheets used to take me hours to collate at the end of each month, now it takes 5 minutes thanks to the clocking in/out system. Finally, the Shiftie team have been a great help, most suggestions I have made are already things there adding in to the software and quick, reliable and friendly service. Definitely recommend. "

" Giving out shifts and finding cover is a much faster process, as I'm no longer looking through spreadsheets trying to find out who is available and if they are actually able to do the rolls that I need them to cover. The whole thing is much easier to see and that makes the process of rostering quicker, cleaner and with less errors. "

Frequently asked questions

Absolutely! Employees can easily swap shifts using the Shiftie app, with the option for manager approval. Instead of spending hours going back and forth with your team to work out who can cover, let employees swap eligible shifts between themselves to make sure that everyone ends up working times that suit them while still providing enough cover.

Even better; we have a Progressive Web App (PWA for short). PWAs function a lot like traditional apps but save you the hassle of having to physically install yet another piece of software on your device. Instead of giving you a slimmed-down version of the desktop software that only works if you have a brand new phone and download every single update, our PWA lets you access all the great features of desktop Shiftie from any device; your team will simply need to save the site to their homescreens when prompted and then use it like any other app (except better, obviously).

Absolutely! Shiftie is designed to accommodate businesses with multiple locations. Whether you operate a single hotel or a chain spanning 100 sites, our platform adapts to your needs. You'll have the flexibility to filter schedules, shifts, employee rosters, timesheets, and reports by location, ensuring efficient management tailored to your operations.

Yes! Our friendly support team are on hand from 08:00 'til 20:00, 7-days a week, ready to help with any questions or queries you might have. Whether you're trying to get setup, struggling with your schedule, or can't quite figure out a new feature, we're here to help
