Built around the leave problems pubs and restaurants actually face

Replace side spreadsheets, calendar guesswork, and manager inbox approvals with a single self-service leave system.

Service cover changes fast

Managers need to know whether kitchen, bar, floor, and supervisor cover still works before approving time off.

Peak dates need control

Bank holidays, Christmas, summer events, and local fixtures can all create periods where leave needs tighter approval.

Variable hours are messy

Part-time, casual, split-shift, and zero-hour teams make leave balances difficult to manage manually.

Feature highlights for pubs and restaurants

The complete core toolkit is included on Standard, so you do not need a larger HR suite just to manage leave properly.

Team leave calendar

See approved and pending leave across kitchen, bar, floor, cleaning, and management before saying yes.

TOIL for extra cover

Track time back for bank holidays, late finishes, events, and emergency cover shifts.

Self-service requests

Staff request leave from their phone instead of relying on WhatsApp messages, paper slips, or rota notes.

Sickness history

Record sickness, return-to-work notes, and repeat absence patterns for busy shift teams.

Multi-venue support

Hospitality groups can manage several venues while keeping local teams and managers separate.

Absence reports

Export leave and sickness summaries to understand staffing pressure by venue, role, or period.

Yes. Leavely helps keep leave records clearer for full-time, part-time, casual, and variable-hours teams.

Can managers check kitchen and front-of-house cover before approval?

Yes. TOIL can be tracked alongside annual leave, sickness, and other leave types.

Can a hospitality group manage more than one venue?

Yes. You can manage multiple venues from one workspace while keeping teams, locations, and approvals organised.
