Using biometric technology to eliminate time theft provides control of the hospitality industry’s biggest variable overhead – labour costs. Individual departmental budgets also play a vital role in this industry. The ability to compare actual to budgeted costs immediately after events is the key to real profitability.
Time & Access’ workforce solutions enable companies to monitor and reduce their staff costs on a real time basis; paying particular attention to realising productivity growth and cost savings.
Often attracting transient workers, the hospitality industry experiences a high turnover of staff, which means agency staff must fill the gaps left by employees, often at short notice.
In a busy venue, keeping tabs on every staff member’s start and finish times on shifts and split shifts presents a challenge, frequently leaving the staff member’s interpretation of their time as the only option for payroll, potentially a costly exercise.
Bookings for venues are used to forecast the shift coverage, however if staff don’t show up for shift you could lose service levels and customer satisfaction without the ability to react swiftly.
As a rule of thumb, agency staff cost more than employees and therefore being able to minimise the need to employ agency staff can make a big difference to the bottom line.
