F&B groups

Roster every outlet by service period, not by guesswork.

Inside helps restaurant and F&B groups plan each outlet by service period, using covers to set how many servers, bartenders and cooks each shift needs. Managers fill gaps from their own team, sister outlets, casuals or agencies, and confirmed hours flow into payroll.

Teams we plan for

  • Servers
  • Bartenders
  • Baristas
  • Cooks and kitchen crew
  • Stewards
  • Outlet managers

What drives your shifts

  • Covers by service period
  • Opening hours
  • Weekend and holiday peaks
  • Private events

How Inside handles it

  • Lunch and dinner need different teams.

    Plan by service period with split shifts, and set base manning per role so every service starts covered.

    Smart Scheduling
  • One outlet is short while another isn't.

    Borrow trained staff from linked outlets in the Assign Member drawer. Their hours stay at the outlet where they worked.

    Multi-outlet
  • Peaks depend on a few loyal casuals.

    Keep a favourites list, offer shifts to your casual pool first, and let casuals accept in the app.

    Casual Workforce
  • Part-timers' hours are hard to check.

    Hourly staff clock in on the app, Auto-Match flags variances, and payroll pays from confirmed hours.

Shift Planner

Shift Planner week view for a restaurant outlet. Each day shows a coverage pill against base manning, Auto-Fill has drafted shifts for servers, bartenders and cooks, one Saturday bartender slot is still open, and a Publish button sits at the top.

Borrow from a linked outlet

Assign Member drawer for an open Saturday bartender shift. Team members at this outlet are unavailable because of leave or weekly hours, and a trained bartender from a linked outlet is available to assign.

How it works

One group, many sites, one shared pool

A group view sits across three sites. Each site keeps its own roster, policies and on-site clocking, and trained staff can be shared between linked sites.

Frequently asked questions

Can we plan by service period?

Yes. Demand can be viewed and set by service period, and covers converted into staff with demand drivers.

Can staff work at more than one outlet?

Yes, through linked outlets and borrowing.

Do part-timers get paid hourly from timesheets?

Yes. Hourly pay types use confirmed timesheet hours in the pay run.

How quickly can managers build a roster?

In the Conrad Singapore F&B pilot, weekly roster building for the measured workflow went from about 3 hours to about 10 minutes. Results depend on the operation.
