Running a hospitality business in the UK has never been more complex. Labour shortages, rising costs, and strict compliance rules are stretching teams thin. Whether you run a local restaurant or a multi-site hotel group, you’re likely facing one or more of these common issues.
Here’s how Microffice, an all-in-one HR and operations platform built for hospitality, helps solve them – efficiently and affordably.
Problem 1: Staff Shortages & High Turnover
The Challenge:
Finding, onboarding, and keeping reliable staff is tough – especially during seasonal peaks. Manual onboarding slows everything down.
The Solution:
Microffice provides a fast, paperless onboarding process with e-signatures, starter forms (HMRC-compliant), and online training. You can get new hires job-ready in hours, not days.
Problem 2: Poor Holiday & Rota Planning
The Challenge:
Last-minute shift swaps, holiday clashes, and unbalanced rotas lead to chaos on the floor – and burnout.
The Solution:
Microffice’s smart rota and holiday planner allows you to build compliant, cost-effective rotas and manage leave in one central system. Staff can view shifts and request holidays via mobile – no more paper calendars or miscommunication.
Problem 3: Lack of Multi-Location Oversight
The Challenge:
Managing staff and HR across multiple sites? It’s easy for things to slip through the cracks – from missed trainings to inconsistent contracts.
The Solution:
With Microffice, you can manage all branches from a single platform. Standardise HR documents, track training, and monitor labour costs site-by-site – all with full visibility.
Problem 4: No Real-Time Financial Tracking
The Challenge:
Waiting until month-end to check labour spend or revenue means missed chances to correct course during the month.
The Solution:
Microffice offers Daily Sales Reports (DSR) and real-time labour forecasting. Managers can compare labour costs to sales, adjust rotas, and stay within budget daily – not just at month-end.
Problem 5: Outdated HR Admin and Compliance Risks
The Challenge:
Manual contracts, paper records, and Excel trackers make it hard to stay compliant – and vulnerable during audits.
The Solution:
From digital contracts and training records to a secure document centre, Microffice keeps your HR processes compliant, auditable, and effortlessly organised.
Whether you’re running a single café or a nationwide hotel chain, Microffice helps solve the headaches that hold hospitality businesses back. Faster onboarding, smarter scheduling, better compliance – all in one mobile-friendly system.
