Discover Teamso for restaurants and cafés

Hidden HR risks in restaurants and cafés

Last-minute shift changes that never reach the team, leaving services short-staffed
Part-time and full-time hours getting mixed up on paper rotas
Plans that exceed weekly working time or the night work limit going unnoticed
Delayed social security notifications and paperwork amid frequent hires and exits
Inconsistent timesheets across branches slowing down month-end payroll
No proof that hygiene and safety rules reached new starters

How Teamso makes a difference for restaurants and cafés

Shift planning

Forecast how many people each day and shift needs from your branch's past clock-in records. Choose the cost-focused or the preference-focused suggestion; a plan that breaks the rules cannot be published.

  • AI-based staffing forecast
  • Cost-focused suggestion that fills contract hours
  • Employees enter the days they are unavailable
  • Email and SMS reminders before each shift

Time attendance with QR codes

Kitchen and floor staff scan the branch QR code with their own phones, so there is no terminal to install. Location checks and a rotating dynamic code make buddy punching harder.

  • Dynamic QR on a tablet or a printed code
  • Location area that accounts for GPS accuracy
  • Lateness tolerance and discrepancy records
  • No fingerprint or face data

Timesheets and overtime

Accepted scans become actual hours in the timesheet and are compared with the shift plan. Get late closing hours approved as overtime and see weekly rest day and public holiday work in separate columns.

  • Planned and actual hours side by side
  • Overlapping overtime entries are blocked
  • Workday, rest day and public holiday multipliers
  • Approved overtime converts to pay or leave

Recruiting and digital onboarding

Publish waiter, commis and barista roles on your careers page and collect applications in the CV pool. New hires fill in their ID, bank and document details on their own phone before day one.

  • Job posts on your careers page
  • AI-assisted CV scoring
  • Branch-specific onboarding document sets
  • Transfer to the employee list on the start date

Benefits and payroll

Define meal and travel allowances, bonuses and advances per employee; entries flow into payroll for the months you choose. Preview payroll branch by branch before closing the period.

  • Meal and travel prorated for mid-month joiners and leavers
  • Advance instalments deducted through payroll
  • Payroll preview filtered by branch
  • Payslips delivered as e-payslips

Document approval

Publish hygiene, occupational health and safety and house rules as company policies. See who has read and acknowledged which version, and collect sign-off from new starters in their first week.

  • Policies under safety and quality categories
  • Read and understood confirmation on web and mobile
  • Due dates with automatic reminders
  • Pending list exported to Excel
