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

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from hospitality managers about Leavely.

How does Leavely handle shift patterns in hospitality?
Leavely supports the irregular shift patterns common in hospitality — early mornings, late nights, split shifts, and rotating rotas. Staff clock in and out by scanning a QR code, and the system records exact hours worked regardless of shift pattern. Managers get a real-time view of who is on shift at each location.
Can Leavely manage seasonal and temporary staff?
Yes. You can add seasonal staff in seconds and remove them when the season ends. Holiday entitlement is calculated pro-rata based on actual hours worked, so you stay compliant with employment law even for short-term contracts. There is no minimum commitment per user.
Does Leavely support zero-hour contract workers?
Yes. Zero-hour workers accrue holiday based on hours worked (5.6 weeks pro-rata under UK law). Leavely tracks hours via clock-in records and calculates accrued holiday automatically, so you always know what each worker is entitled to.
Can I manage multiple locations with one account?
Yes. You can set up a QR code for each location — each restaurant, bar, hotel, or venue. Staff clock in at whichever site they are working at, and managers can see real-time attendance across all locations from a single dashboard.
How does the QR code clock-in work for restaurants and hotels?
You print a QR code poster for each location — for example, one in the kitchen and one at reception. Staff scan it with their phone camera when they arrive and leave. Each scan records the time, date, and GPS location. No special hardware or app download required.
Does Leavely handle split shifts?
Yes. In hospitality, staff often work a lunch service and then return for the evening. Leavely records each clock-in and clock-out separately, so split shifts are tracked accurately. Total hours are calculated across all shifts in a day.
How does Leavely help with Working Time Regulations compliance?
Leavely records exact working hours for every employee, making it straightforward to evidence compliance with the Working Time Regulations 1998. You can monitor weekly hours, check rest break compliance, and ensure holiday entitlement is calculated correctly — especially important for variable-hours workers.
How much does Leavely cost for hospitality businesses?
Leavely costs £8 per user per month with all features included — no tiers, no hidden fees. Every account starts with a free 14-day trial, no credit card required. For a restaurant with 20 staff, that is £160 per month.
