Transforming Workforce Management Across Multiple Hospitality Businesses 

Together Hospitality is a rapidly expanding hospitality group managing multiple companies and branches under a unified business structure. Operating in an industry that demands round-the-clock workforce availability, flexible scheduling, and seamless employee management, the organization oversees a diverse workforce spread across multiple locations. 

As the business continued to grow, managing employees across different entities became increasingly complex. The organization required a centralized HR platform capable of handling multi-company operations, rotational workforce scheduling, overtime management, and variable compensation structures while maintaining payroll accuracy and operational efficiency. 

To address these challenges and support its growth trajectory, Together Hospitality partnered with SkizzleHR, a leading HRMS software for hospitality businesses, to modernize workforce management, automate payroll processes, and streamline employee operations across multiple locations

Business Problem 

The hospitality industry is characterized by dynamic workforce requirements, varying employee schedules, and the need for real-time operational flexibility. As Together Hospitality expanded its presence across multiple branches and business entities, traditional HR management processes became difficult to sustain. 

The organization faced several operational challenges: 

• Managing employees across multiple companies and branches using disconnected processes.  

• Maintaining consistency in HR policies while accommodating entity-specific requirements.  

• Handling employee requests when staff members were unable to access the system during operational hours.  

• Managing rotating weekly offs for employees working in different shifts and locations.  

• Accurately calculating overtime hours and corresponding payments.  

• Processing multiple variable salary components such as incentives, allowances, performance-based earnings, and service charge distributions.  

• Ensuring payroll accuracy across multiple companies while minimizing administrative effort.  

These challenges increased the workload on HR teams and created risks related to scheduling, payroll processing, and workforce visibility. 

The HR Challenge 

Unlike conventional office environments, hospitality businesses operate continuously and require workforce scheduling that adapts to changing business demands. 

Together Hospitality’s HR team needed a solution that could: 

• Centralize workforce management across multiple companies and branches.  

• Support complex scheduling requirements and rotating weekly off patterns.  

• Provide flexibility for HR teams to assist employees when self-service access was unavailable.  

• Automate overtime calculations and payroll integration.  

• Simplify the administration of multiple earning components and variable payments.  

• Deliver accurate, real-time workforce data for informed decision-making.  

The leadership team also required better visibility into workforce operations across all entities to support strategic planning and operational efficiency. 

The Turning Point 

As the organization continued to grow, manual processes and fragmented systems were no longer sufficient to support its workforce management needs. 

Together Hospitality recognized the need for a scalable HRMS that could accommodate the complexities of the hospitality industry while simplifying day-to-day HR operations. 

After evaluating its requirements, the organization selected SkizzleHR due to its flexibility, customization capabilities, and ability to manage complex workforce structures across multiple business entities. 

The SkizzleHR Solution 

SkizzleHR implemented a comprehensive HR software and payroll management system designed specifically for the hospitality industry, enabling seamless employee management, attendance tracking, workforce scheduling, and payroll automation.

The solution focused on providing complete visibility, process automation, and workforce flexibility while maintaining a single source of truth for all employee-related information. 

1. Centralized Multi-Company and Branch Management 

One of the most significant challenges for Together Hospitality was managing employees across several companies and branches. 

SkizzleHR enabled the organization to manage all entities through a single platform while maintaining separate organizational structures and configurations. 

The system allows HR teams to: 

• Manage multiple companies under one account.  

• Maintain branch-specific employee records.  

• Configure entity-specific HR policies.  

• Access workforce information through a centralized dashboard.  

• Generate reports at company, branch, or group level.  

Business Impact 

• Unified workforce management across all entities.  

• Improved organizational visibility.  

• Reduced administrative complexity.  

• Standardized HR processes across the group.  

2. HR-Assisted Employee Request Management 

In hospitality operations, employees are often engaged on the floor, serving guests, managing operations, or working in locations where immediate access to HR systems may not be possible. 

To address this reality, SkizzleHR introduced HR-assisted request management. 

HR teams can submit requests on behalf of employees, including: 

• Leave applications.  

• Attendance regularization requests.  

• Shift change requests.  

• Employee profile updates.  

• Other employee service requests.  

This capability ensures that employees continue receiving timely support regardless of their system accessibility. 

Business Impact 

• Faster issue resolution.  

• Improved employee support experience.  

• Reduced delays in request processing.  

• Increased operational responsiveness.  

3. Flexible Rotating Weekly Off Management 

Managing weekly offs within the hospitality industry presents unique challenges. Staffing requirements fluctuate based on occupancy levels, business demand, events, and seasonal peaks. 

SkizzleHR enabled Together Hospitality to implement flexible weekly off scheduling through: 

• Configurable weekly off patterns.  

• Rotational schedules based on operational requirements.  

• Easy reassignment of weekly offs when business needs change.  

• Automated attendance integration.  

The platform ensures that staffing levels remain optimized while maintaining compliance with employee scheduling requirements. 

Business Impact 

• Improved workforce planning.  

• Better resource allocation.  

• Reduced scheduling conflicts.  

• Enhanced operational continuity.  

4. Automated Overtime Management 

Peak business periods often require employees to work additional hours. Previously, tracking and calculating overtime manually increased the administrative burden and created opportunities for payroll discrepancies. 

SkizzleHR automated the entire overtime management process by: 

• Capturing overtime hours automatically.  

• Applying predefined eligibility rules.  

• Calculating overtime earnings accurately.  

• Integrating overtime payments directly into payroll.  

The system eliminates manual calculations while ensuring employees are compensated fairly and accurately. 

Business Impact 

• Improved payroll accuracy.  

• Reduced payroll processing time.  

• Greater transparency for employees.  

• Increased trust in payroll calculations.  

5. Streamlined Variable Payment Processing 

Hospitality payroll structures often include multiple earning components beyond fixed salaries. 

Together Hospitality regularly manages: 

• Performance incentives.  

• Travel and operational allowances.  

• Service charge distributions.  

• Special rewards and payouts.  

• Monthly variable earnings.  

SkizzleHR simplified this process by providing a centralized variable payment management system. 

HR teams can: 

• Upload earning components in bulk.  

• Process variable payments efficiently.  

• Integrate earnings directly into payroll.  

• Maintain complete audit trails.  

• Generate detailed compensation reports.  

Business Impact 

• Faster payroll processing.  

• Reduced manual intervention.  

• Improved compensation accuracy.  

• Enhanced payroll transparency.
