Running a hotel means juggling multiple teams, like reception, housekeeping, kitchen, and front of house. Each of these teams has different scheduling needs. With Protime’s workforce management system, hotel managers can gain full visibility over staffing requirements and plan accordingly.

Our platform uses demand forecasting to help you schedule the right number of staff for every shift. Whether it’s a quiet Tuesday or a fully booked bank holiday weekend, you’ll be prepared. You can manage roles, assign shifts, and optimise resources without the chaos of spreadsheets or last-minute changes.

Better yet, real-time dashboards and reporting tools provide insights into staff costs and productivity. You can make smarter business decisions while ensuring your team is never overstretched.

Manual time sheets? Missed clock-ins? Not anymore. Our time and attendance solution helps hotels accurately capture employee hours across multiple departments and sites.

When your team clocks in via our workforce management terminals, the data feeds directly into your HR system. This will help to eliminate time theft, reduce payroll errors, and gain a real-time overview of who’s on-site.

Need to track late arrivals, early clock-outs, or unauthorised absences? Our software does it all. It gives hotel managers better control over time compliance and workforce efficiency. It also seamlessly integrates with payroll to streamline end-of-month admin.

The hotel industry must adhere to a wide range of UK employment laws, including:

Working time regulations.
Minimum wage compliance.
Health and safety protocols.
Holiday entitlements.

Protime helps you stay compliant without the stress.

With built-in alerts, audit trails, and digital recordkeeping, our software ensures that no detail is missed. Whether it’s making sure your night staff aren’t exceeding weekly hours or ensuring your team’s break entitlements are respected, Protime helps hospitality employers stay on the right side of regulations.

In the event of an inspection or internal audit, you’ll have all the documentation you need at your fingertips, securely stored and easily retrievable.

Not all HR software is built for hospitality. At Protime, we’ve designed our platform with the hotel industry in mind, where staff flexibility, shift planning, and real-time insights are crucial.

Whether you run a 24/7 front desk, a seasonal resort, or an urban hotel with round-the-clock services, our tools adapt to your business. From managing part-time workers and casual contracts to supporting your core HR team, Protime makes HR management faster, easier, and more accurate.
