Sound familiar?
These are the problems hospitality managers face every day — and exactly what Leavely solves.
High staff turnover drains time
Hospitality has the highest turnover rate of any UK sector. Every new starter means more admin — onboarding, rota changes, and holiday calculations. Without a system, it spirals.
Complex rotas and last-minute changes
Split shifts, late-night finishes, weekend-heavy patterns, and constant cover requests. Managing rotas on paper or WhatsApp groups leads to gaps, no-shows, and frustrated staff.
No visibility across multiple sites
Running two restaurants or a hotel group? Without a central system, you cannot tell who is on shift where, whether cover is in place, or how your labour costs compare across sites.
QR Code Clock-In
Print a QR code for each venue, kitchen, or site. Staff scan on arrival with their phone — time, date, and GPS coordinates are recorded automatically. Perfect for split shifts and late-night finishes. No hardware, no app downloads.
- Unique QR code per location
- GPS coordinates captured on every scan
- Works on any smartphone camera
- Split shift clock-in and clock-out
