Hotel Staff Scheduling Software for Lahore
Managing shift rosters across 13 hotel departments — front desk, housekeeping, kitchen, restaurant, security, maintenance, and more — is one of the most time-consuming operational tasks in any Lahore hotel. Hostanova's staff scheduling module automates roster creation, tracks attendance in real time, flags overtime, and feeds the payroll module so there's no manual timesheet reconciliation at month end.
Shift Scheduling Across All Departments for Lahore Hotels
Hotels in Lahore operate 24 hours a day across departments with very different staffing patterns: the front desk runs three shifts, housekeeping works peak hours, the kitchen has split shifts, and security covers overnight. Building these rosters manually in a spreadsheet — checking who is on leave, who has already done overtime, who is assigned to which shift — takes hours each week. Hostanova generates rosters from staff profiles, approved leave records, and shift templates configured for each department.
Roster publication is managed through the system — staff see their upcoming schedule on their device. Shift swaps, emergency cover requests, and last-minute absences are handled through an approval workflow: the requesting staff member submits, the supervisor approves or denies, and the roster updates automatically. Every schedule change is logged with approvals for labour compliance documentation.

Attendance, Overtime, and Payroll Connection for Lahore
Attendance tracking in Hostanova runs against the published schedule. Late arrivals, early departures, and no-shows are flagged automatically. Overtime hours accumulate per employee across the pay period and feed the payroll module with the correct overtime multiplier for Punjab labour law requirements. The payroll manager in Lahore sees a pre-calculated payroll summary at month end rather than reconciling paper timesheets.
For hotels with service charge and gratuity distribution, Hostanova tracks the pool collected per department per day and distributes it to eligible staff according to the configured allocation formula. All service charge distributions are documented for EOBI and FBR reporting — a compliance requirement that many Lahore hotel HR teams currently handle with manual calculations.
