Frequently asked questions
-
The best hospitality employee management software includes HR software, payroll software, recruitment software, and a digital rota system.
Implementing these systems should provide the tools needed to manage a modern workforce.
In terms of employee management software, IRIS has a range of solutions, including:
-
Hospitality HR software is a system designed to help businesses in hospitality manage their human resources more effectively.
HR software helps streamline tasks like onboarding, performance management and learning & development.
Through the use of automation, HR software saves time, reduces errors and helps ensure that teams run smoothly.
-
Hospitality recruitment software is a tool that supports the hiring of staff, also known as an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
An ATS can either be an independent piece of software, or a module within a wider HR system, helping automate, organise and optimise the recruitment process.
The primary purpose of an ATS is to simplify the entire hiring workflow, from receiving and storing applications to the selection of candidates.
-
Hospitality payroll software is a tool that helps manage the processes associated with paying staff.
Payroll software helps handle tasks such as calculating wages, processing tips, managing taxes and ensuring compliance.
-
With the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 now in place, those in hospitality must distribute all qualifying tips to employees without deductions while also ensuring fairness and transparency.
As a result, many have reassessed and updated their procedures, with a number of hospitality businesses now opting for a Tronc Scheme.
A Tronc Scheme describes a system that gathers and distributes tips to staff; those in charge of the Tronc are known as Tronc Masters.
-
A Tronc master is not allowed to be a business owner, director or an individual with the ability to hire.
This eliminates most general managers, restaurant or bar managers and HR personnel.
By working with a third-party Troncmasters, you keep the division or disbursement of the Tronc separate from the employer, helping ensure you are compliant with minimal hassle.
