    How Tech Gives Restaurant Staff Work-Life Balance

    Published: Mar 10, 2020 · Modified: Oct 24, 2022 by Jennifer · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    Working in a restaurant is tough. Long hours on your feet, demanding customers to serve, and not many other work environments are filled with sharp knives and boiling liquids. As foodies depend more and restaurants for their food, the world has more new restaurants than ever.

    Countless workers a are working in what can be a gruelling industry, and they can really benefit from technology that helps to restore their work-life balance. Here’s how employee scheduling software makes it happen.

    Responsive Schedules Factor in Employee Needs

    New tech makes it easy to save time with 7shifts restaurant scheduling software for both restaurants and the employees themselves, both at their place of work and in their personal lives. Here’s how it works.

    As soon as an employee learns that they need time off work — maybe for a concert, wedding, or whatever else — they can send a request for time off that instant to their boss remotely through the app. The manager can approve it through their phone, too.

    Employees relay their work availability to their manager through the easy to use drag-and-drop feature, so there’s no more dealing with disorganized systems like post it notes at work, or scrawling in a busy calendar.

    Not needing to wait until employees and managers are physically in the restaurant saves everybody time in scheduling. The seamlessness of the technology gives employees control over their personal life, while letting the restaurant lock its schedule in place sooner.

    Employee Feedback

    Employee scheduling software prompts each staff member to describe in their own words how each shift went, and to give it a numerical rating. They can submit this information anonymously if they wish, so they feel more comfortable being candid.

    Sometimes employees have issues at work that need to be straightened out so their job is less stressful, or so they can do it more effectively. Employee scheduling software makes it easy and comfortable for employees to feel they are being listened to by management.

    Enforced Breaks

    Restaurant workers need to take breaks now and then. Employee scheduling software ensures that they never miss the breaks they are legally entitled to, with alerts and punch audit reporting tools enforcing mandatory breaks.

    Plus, schedulers will always receive an alert before giving an employee overtime hours, so shifts are distributed evenly and employees don’t get burned out unnecessarily. Running a restaurant can be stressful and high pace, so having technology that works to keep its employees fresh and relaxed is important.

    From the restaurant’s perspective, the tech helps them comply with labor laws and avoid related fines and penalties.

    All workers need and deserve time off, so they can live a rich life and feel refreshed when they’re back on the job. Having the support of sophisticated technology that helps restore their work-life balance while also saving restaurants money is an important win-win. No wonder employee scheduling software is being used in restaurants across North America.
