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.

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