Before/after

Operations managers work more efficiently with Nesto

From manual shift chaos and constant firefighting to automated processes and proactive management across all locations. This is how Nesto transforms the work of operations managers in hospitality.

Manual scheduling for multiple locations

4 hours per location, 20 locations = 80 hours per month just for schedules. No time to lead teams, strategic projects, or your guests.

Constant firefighting due to poor forecasts

Sometimes 15 people too many, sometimes 8 too few. Constantly improvising, sending people home, desperately looking for temps. Teams frustrated, guests unhappy.

Fairness conflicts between employees and locations

Manual planning always seems subjective. Constant discussions about shifts, high turnover, low morale. You're a referee instead of a leader.

No live data from multiple locations

You find out about problems when it's too late. Inconsistent standards between locations and missed optimization opportunities.

High admin workload eats leadership time

80% admin, 20% leadership. Less time for guests, team leadership, strategic tasks.

Automatic schedules in 40 seconds

Standardised metrics provide you with comparable, error-free data for strategic decisions.

90%+ staffing accuracy through AI forecasts

Precise forecasts eliminate firefighting and you have the right number of employees at the right time in the right place.

Fair, transparent planning without conflicts

Unified processes through algorithms consider preferred times, availability, and contractual hours automatically. Transparent, traceable, and fair across all locations enabling growth from 10 to 100+ locations without complexity explosion.

Live KPIs across all locations in real-time

Daily analysis, benchmarking, performance evaluation: See immediately what's working and what's not. Proactive management instead of late reactions.

70% less admin through automation and AI

AI scheduling, digital time tracking, error-free payroll exports. You have time for what matters again.
