Smart Scheduling for Hotel and Hospitality
SwipeClock helps hotel improve their bottom line with streamlined scheduling and more efficient time and attendance tracking.
The Bayside Hotel and Resort is a 135-room, 5-story complex which includes a hotel, two restaurants, and a small business center. There is no “typical” day for The Bayside Hotel, and they rely on a diverse workforce to manage a wide range of guest requests at every hour of the day.
To keep an otherwise chaotic operation running smoothly, Bayside faces workforce challenges that range from last-minute sick leave to schedule changes to unexpected overtime. With their reputation resting squarely on their ability to serve patrons with personal attention, workforce management is a main concern at Bayside. Their ultimate goal; improve customer service without increasing labor costs.
Formidable Workforce Management Challenges
The management staff had been struggling to find an employee timekeeping and scheduling system that eliminated understaffing, could be adjusted on the fly, kept all parties apprised of scheduling changes, tracked data for DOL compliance, and made sure that time cards were turned in on time to the payroll processing service. For Bayside, this was no easy task with so many diverse departments including hospitality, housekeeping, maintenance, and operations. In every department, managers needed accurate data to design scheduling strategies that eliminated waste while maintaining a superior standard of service for their guests.
Bayside needed a hotel employee scheduling solution that would meet scheduling targets while providing greater flexibility for team members and less busy work for supervisors.
Time and Attendance Made Easy With SwipeClock
The Workforce Management Suite time tracking tool, TimeWorksPlus, started delivering benefits during the very first pay cycle. With mobile access built in, TimeWorksPlus allows associates to clock in/out on their mobile device wherever they are—whether they work in housekeeping, guest services, security, or maintenance. Because the PunchLogic feature considerably reduces missed and duplicate punches, time card accuracy has improved substantially.
