Employee Leave Management Software for Restaurants

A successful restaurant needs more than just good food. Great customer service is essential too – and that means having your best people available for every shift. But what happens when team members want to take time off?

WhosOff’s restaurant holiday planning tool gives your business complete visibility over team leave. You can see how many days employees are entitled to and who’s already booked time off before approving any holiday application, so you’re never left short-staffed.

And with the WhosOff mobile app, your restaurant team can check their own holiday planner before requesting time off, to avoid costly calendar clashes.

The perfect planning tool for restaurant owners

Restaurant staffing can be complex to manage at the best of times. WhosOff makes sure that holiday management doesn’t add more complication.

WhosOff’s online leave management system is ideal for restaurant owners because it gives you both an at-a-glance overview of all holiday bookings and detailed information on each employee’s entitlement. Whether you’re running one restaurant or 100. And you can set your own rules and processes around how and when staff request time off.

It’s also highly flexible, which means you can change your rules during busy trading periods. For example, restricting the number of people that can take time off on Bank Holidays and over Christmas and New Year.

You can also add-in temporary staff to WhosOff, so you’re managing the movements of contract and permanent team members in the same place.

WhosOff is very simple to use, so staff can get up-and-running in minutes. And because it’s web-based, they can access WhosOff from anywhere via online login or mobile app.

Frequently asked questions - FAQs

Q. Why is leave management important?

A. If your company isn’t managing annual leave properly, it can cause all sorts of problems. For example, the process of staff members of requesting time off, getting approval and recording it takes up far too much time – getting in the way of higher value tasks.

Failing to record leave accurately can also result in errors occurring. For instance, staff may take more time off than their total holiday occasion, or two key team members may book the same week off, leaving you short staffed. That’s why so many restaurant owners choose to log all staff absences through leave management software like WhosOff.

Q. Can we produce reports on the type of leave?

A. Yes, you can. In fact, WhosOff encourages our users to make the most of the data being tracked through our leave management system.

By managing all your staff movements in one place, you can identify key trends and use factual insights to shape your company holiday policies. And you can share data with senior leaders, so they can see the impact of everything from paid time off to the amount of overtime completed by each restaurant or individual employee.

Q. Can we restrict leave on certain days?

A. Yes. some restaurant owners prefer to block out peak trading periods or manage certain days of the year differently – such as Christmas and Bank Holidays.

You can also put restrictions in place between team members, to stop two people booking the same time off. Visit our policies and restrictions page to find out more.

Q. Can we customise leave types?

A. If you’re using WhosOff, yes! Our team of technical experts will help you set up your leave management system in the best-fit way for your business – including adding in any custom leave types that your employees may choose to take.
