Hospitality (Hotels & Restaurants)

People, rostering and the service charge

Hospitality runs on shift staff, high attrition and seasonal hiring, and two things are perennial fights, the shift roster and the service-charge split. Attendance is reconciled to payroll by hand every month, the roster over-staffs a slow Tuesday and runs short on a busy Saturday, and the service-charge distribution is a monthly argument because nobody can show how it was calculated.

Who has it

Hotels and resorts, restaurants, QSR and cafe chains, and banquets, catering and events most, with their large shift workforces and seasonal hiring; cloud kitchens to a lesser degree.

What we build

Attendance connected to a rules-based payroll (PF, ESI, PT) instead of manual Excel, a fair, demand-based roster so staffing matches the day, and an automatic, transparent service-charge distribution off the actual collection so it stops being a fight. We also help define who owns food cost, who signs off a rate change and who owns the banquet quote, the operating-model fixes that make the automation stick. The pay-out itself goes to a person.

What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off

Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.

The reliable spine

The non-AI spine is the rules engine: attendance reconciled to a rules-based payroll (PF, ESI, PT), the demand-based roster, and the service-charge split computed transparently off the actual collection.

Where AI helps

AI reads the demand history to propose a roster that matches the day and reads timesheets and biometric logs to reconcile attendance; a person approves the roster and the payout, and it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.

Who signs off

A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.

What changes day to day

Attendance reconciles to payroll instead of being re-keyed; the roster matches demand; the service-charge split stops being a monthly argument; HR is freed for real people work.
