Tidsbanken + Edda: Smart staff management and optimal payroll control for restaurants

About Tidsbanken:

Tidsbanken is a cloud-based system for time tracking, shift scheduling, and payroll control that helps businesses keep track of working hours, overtime, and absences. The system is particularly useful for restaurants with shift-based work and varying staffing needs.**

Challenges restaurant managers face with time and shift management

Staff scheduling is one of the biggest challenges in the restaurant industry. Miscalculations can lead to unnecessary costs and poorer service. Common challenges include:

• High turnover and varying working hours → Shift plans must be constantly updated, and manual tracking of hours can lead to payroll errors.

• Difficult payroll control → Overtime, supplements, and shorter shifts make it challenging to keep labor costs at a sustainable level.

• Poor adaptation to actual needs → Many restaurants plan staffing without considering expected customer traffic, which can lead to over- or understaffing.

• Lack of insight into work efficiency → How much does labor cost per hour? Is staffing properly distributed? Many managers lack good data to make informed decisions.
