Your challenges
What is system catering planning so Makes complex
From unpredictable rush hour peaks to complex multi-site control, system catering faces unique challenges in personnel planning.
Manual shift planning costs time and money
You spend hours planning for each location. Without precise forecasts, you plan based on gut feeling:
Too many employees burn money, too few staff costs sales.
The result: personnel cost fluctuations of 15-25%, which directly affect your margin.
No real-time visibility of locations
Each location works in isolation with its own lists and processes. You're missing the live overview: Where is understaffing looming? Which locations perform well? Where are the costs too high?
Increasing personnel costs and compliance risks
15-25% wage variance due to inaccurate forecasts? This costs at least €100 per location or more per day. Manual time recording leads to compliance errors: breaks are forgotten, rest periods are not met. The result: fines, back payments, stressed teams, unfair planning.
