Making a career in hospitality can be very difficult, but after a while, you develop a second instinct about staffing your facility. For example, if you walk around the casino floor, you are able to quickly tell whether your area is understaffed or overstaffed. How can you justify your staffing decisions to your executives? AcuStaf provides you the documentation you need to justify your decision making. By displaying your different workloads (headcount, reservations, ticket-in, etc.) and correlating them to your staffing, you now have the documentation to justify why you asked an employee to work a double shift. Get real-time data to help you make the most cost-effective staffing decisions. Accurately forecast your staff and head counts for big events, providing your managers with the best schedule effectively lowering your costs.

Not only do you have to worry about justifying your staffing decisions, but you have to worry about labor compliance as well. The U.S. Department of Labor takes a special interest in the hospitality industry, making sure that wages are being paid fairly and accurately. Feel confident in your payroll information with comprehensive audit trails on users and on payroll/scheduling rules.

Why do you need to staff effectively? There are several repercussions for not creating an accurate schedule. The closer you come to a shift, the more expensive it becomes to fill it. Filling an open shift with an employee who is in overtime can dramatically increase your labor costs. By flagging your open shifts early and filling them with the most cost-effective employee, you can effectively lower your labor costs.
