THE REAL LABOR PROBLEM

A schedule gets published.
The work doesn’t stop.

FROM SCHEDULING TOOL TO LABOR OPERATION

Hospelo handles the problems that keep coming back.

Owners do not need a faster spreadsheet. They need fewer labor fires, better coverage, and confidence that every shift is staffed to the business in front of them.

“Why am I still dealing with labor every single day?”

Hospelo is built to make that question disappear.

Start with whatever is easiest: a recent schedule, employee roster, availability, sales history, or simply the manager who knows the restaurant best.

  • ✓ Define dayparts and required positions
  • ✓ Import or rebuild a representative week
  • ✓ Add labor targets and restaurant rules
  • ✓ Generate and review the first schedule together

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

What changes with Hospelo?

Is Hospelo just an AI schedule generator?+

No. Scheduling is the first step. Hospelo is designed to forecast labor demand, generate the schedule, coordinate callout coverage, monitor hours and overtime, and keep managers focused on exceptions instead of administration.

How long does setup take?+

The first setup requires real operating input because every restaurant is different. Hospelo makes it guided: we build a representative week with your team, confirm staffing rules and labor targets, and review the first generated schedule together.

Do we need to import old schedules?+

Not necessarily. A recent schedule is helpful because it reveals opening, service, prep, and closing patterns. Restaurants can import what they have, rebuild a normal week during kickoff, or start from sales and manager knowledge.

How does Hospelo know how much labor we need?+

Hospelo combines demand inputs such as sales history and operating patterns with required positions, dayparts, availability, qualifications, hour limits, and restaurant-specific rules. Managers can adjust unusual weeks, events, and local conditions.

Do employees need another app?+

Not for routine communication. Employees can receive schedules, open-shift offers, and coverage updates through text. A secure portal remains available when more detail is needed.

Do managers stay in control?+

Yes. Restaurants decide which actions can happen automatically, which need approval, and which exceptions should always reach a manager. Hospelo removes repetitive work without removing management authority.
