Staff management in restaurants

Schedule, track and manage your workforce better, with less effort

To master staff scheduling in your restaurants, you need technology that simplifies shift planning, gives you a clear overview of costs and needs, and facilitates communication between employees and managers.

LS Central includes powerful Staff Management functionality, enabling restaurant and franchise managers to plan and distribute staff schedules while keeping into consideration costs, expected flow of guests, as well as employee vacations and sick days. Oversee and approve timetables, manage costs and always make sure they’re on track compared to budget.
