    I believe the hospitality industry can benefit greatly from the implementation of the HRI Software. This article in particular focus in an important part of the human resource which is scheduling employees. One of the biggest reasons of the high employment turn over in the industry has to do with the scheduling. The hospitality employees work very long shifts and on the days that the rest of the people rest like weekends and holidays. To have a program that will take care of the scheduling is very beneficial because all the employees get a chance to have off to to work on the requested days if possible. It makes it more equal for everybody and make it look less personal so that the employees do not think that the manager has any sort preferences among them. Overall makes thing more easy to handle and optimize the time of the human resources department because they do not need to put time aside for scheduling.

    As we all know, the company can't be truly beneficial from using HRIS for scheduling if it operates on a 9-5 schedule. But in the hospitality industry, the company operates over a long period of time, having the different degree of complexity with scheduling. So, HRIS will help the companies to make scheduling easier. In this article, the author introduces several advantages that HRIS offers to the industry. HRIS provides hotels with labor management tools and alerts them to uncovered shifts. Moreover, it makes scheduling communication instantaneous and increase employee contentment. Most importantly, HRIS enables hotels to save time and money for providing a template, which allows hotels to strategically gear scheduling.

New Technology Helps Restaurants With Employee Scheduling - QSR Magazine - 0 views

  • Web-based program
  • Employees also can log in to the scheduling program via their company’s Web site and submit time-off requests, change their availability for future schedules, and even trade shifts with other employees.

    I was clearly remembering till today that when I was working in a Japanese restaurant, the manager there always made mistakes on staffs' schedules and employee shifts because she was writing schedules herself every week. As is mentioned in this material, doing like this can be very waste of time and the worse situation I met before is that when I dressed up and made up and arrived there but to find that some servers already working in the restaurant on schedule.  Therefore, I think a web-based scheduling program will be most helpful. Managers of restaurant can use this product not only for today's schedule but also for future schedule. What's more, it helps make the work environment more suitable because it trades shifts with other employees.  From the financial perspective, web-based scheduling also trace labor costs, which is one benefit part manager have to pay attention to.

    This article was great to read because it focuses on how HRIS can be beneficial for scheduling, which I previously haven't thought about. The part that stood out most to me was the fact that it can forecast future sales and rush hours so that it can assist you in making sure there are enough staff members scheduled to cover those extra busy hours. In turn, the employees will also be a little bit happier with their schedules because they are able to get them earlier, request days off, and switch with other staff. As the industry is moving into being dominated by Generation Y and Z employees, who want their jobs to work around their lives, I think this can really help the companies.

    Labor costs are likely one of the largest expenses for almost all business. Although each business have different situation, reducing labor expenses is one of the fastest ways to realize more profit. After reading this article, I realize hospitality industry have some difficulties to control labor cost, such as peak hours, high season, part-time workers and a variety of job positions to schedule and multiple shifts to cover. So I think great labor schedule software could make creating work schedules and controlling labor budgets more efficient. Great labor schedule software should have below features, 1. Easily. This software could easily create rolling schedule for unlimited number of workers, define schedule and operational constraints. Easily publish schedules, calendars and any reports to staffs and managers. Manage labor costs and avoid over/under staffing with ease. 2. Flexible. Adjusting individual shift assignment start time, end time and payable hours when necessary. Quickly and efficiently find a substitute worker to fill a cancellation. 3. Comprehensive. Tracking all training, vacation, sick leave, and other off-work requests. Could visually assign tasks of any length from 1 minute to several hours. 4. Analytic. Numerous available reports can provide different kinds of detailed and summary information, such as labor cost data, payroll, employee position and etc. In a word, an efficient labor scheduling software will alert staffs when to work, and will reduce the amount of time that managers spend performing scheduling.

  • The solution for efficient and cost-effective employee management is advanced time and attendance software. Let’s discuss some of the benefits.
  • Cloud-based time and attendance eliminates hardware compatibility issues. This was a shortcoming of older enterprise systems. With cloud computing, all players can access work information from any internet-enabled device.
  • With an online shift trade board, the manager posts open shifts when an employee calls in sick before the shift begins. If the employee fails to call and just doesn’t show up, the system signals that a worker neglected to clock in. The system sends alerts to all available workers. The current schedule feeds information to the trade board. The system knows which workers are already working and, therefore, unavailable.
  • he manager approves the trade which triggers a confirmation alert to the applicable employee.
  • Time and attendance software remembers everyone’s availability and schedule requests.
  • Any business is susceptible to time theft. Since many hotel employees are unsupervised, the hospitality industry is especially vulnerable.
  • US employers pay millions a year in unnecessary wages due to time theft. A biometric time clock paired with a time tracking system allows managers to apply schedule lockouts and break rules.
  • Time tracking software handles the complex logistics of multiple employee types and pay rates. These include overtime calculations, accruals tracking, break tracking, and absence management.
  •  
    With technology constantly updating and hotels getting larger and obtaining more employees, it is important to have a system that is keeping up with the times, and makes bosses work a little easier and more efficient. With the time tracking software it does all of that. The software allows managers to have available employees cover shifts, it ensures there will be no time theft, it keeps track of overtime, pay rates, absences and more. The system is cost effective because it does not hold up the employer in the office all day, and with the watches out for the time thieves. This system does everything a manual tracker can do and more. It is extremely efficient.

Maintaining the optimal working condition of all assets by creating weekly, monthly and yearly preventative maintenance schedules will reduce your hotel’s costs and liabilities
  • HippoFM’s central database for incoming work requests enables you to assign, prioritize and determine what, when and where work needs to be done.
  •  
    HippoFM is a facility maintenance software program that provides preventative maintenance schedules, work orders, CAD graphics, capital planning features, and handheld mobile devices to help ensure hotels provide timely service to guests and provide tools to make the maintenance department more effective. The article states that this system can reduce maintenance costs, increase work-order closing speed and use handheld devices to access the system where ever you go. For any large hotel or restaurant chain I believe that a maintenance management software system is important. The company I worked for ran many restaurants in several hotels and when we implemented this type of system it made tracking and fixing equipment a breeze and managers became less disgusted with the maintenance department.

    This is a great program for a hotel to have. It seems great that there are hand held devices for the maintenance people to have while they are walking around the property. I also like that it sets up a maintenance schedule for you so you do not have to worry about it yourself.
