Split-shift scheduling for F&B and housekeeping staff, high-attrition F&F and re-onboarding management, service charge distribution tracking, multi-property HR for hotel groups, and seasonal staffing HR for peak occupancy periods - from one platform.
A generic HR tool was not built for the specific workforce management challenges that hospitality companies face. Here is what makes HR software for hospitality different and why TankhaPay is built for it.
Staff operating between 7 AM and 2 PM and between 6 PM and 11 PM at restaurants, housekeeping operating through one shift of long hours, and the front office running a 24x7 shift without a system lead to scheduling errors and mistakes on payslips.
Hospitality attrition means constant F&F settlements, PF withdrawals, and rapid rehiring at every hotel. Delayed F&F creates employee disputes; incorrect computation creates legal liability.
Hotels which voluntarily disburse the service charge to the employees must monitor the process of distribution according to department and number of hours worked.
Wedding season, summer holidays, and new-year demand require 2-3x the regular workforce. Onboarding 100 temporary staff for a season and exiting them cleanly requires a system.
A hotel group with 8 properties often runs 8 independent HR operations, has no group headcount view, no standardised leave policy, and no unified payroll for the corporate owner.
Statutory gratuity, leave encashment on exit, and tip income tax treatment are all computed incorrectly in hospitality because standard payroll tools were not built for hospitality-specific pay components.
Hospitality companies run several distinct workforce categories at once - each with a different pay structure and different HR treatment. TankhaPay handles all of them from one login.
Front desk, concierge, and guest relations staff on split or fixed shifts with ESIC compliance.
Front Office GradeRestaurant, banquet, and bar staff on split shifts with shift allowances and service charge eligibility.
F&B GradeRoom attendants and housekeeping supervisors on single long shifts with leave and ESIC tracking.
Housekeeping GradeChefs, cooks, and kitchen staff with different shift patterns and high turnover management.
Kitchen GradeShort-term staff for wedding seasons and other such occasions.
Seasonal TrackGM, departmental head, and corporate employees on normal CTC with performance management.
Management GradeCMMI Level 5 is held by fewer than 1% of Indian tech companies. It means the quality standard your hospitality HR data is managed under is the same standard trusted by the Government of India.
There is no other competitor for Indian payroll software that has such accreditation. It gives you another level of assurance of the way your payroll will be managed.
TankhaPay has been built with specific hospitality HR requirements in mind - the attendance, compliance, and workforce management challenges that generic tools miss.
We have managed Indian HR through every significant labour and tax law change since 1998. Labour Code 2025 changes are the latest in a 26-year track record.
Run it in-house when your team has capacity. Switch to managed HR outsourcing when you need it - on the same platform, no migration, no data loss.
From F&B shift A to 8 properties, every hospitality HR requirement handled by the system, not chased through a spreadsheet.
Split-shift schedule for F&B staff and front office staff - two parts of a split shift counted as one day of attendance, proper calculation of shift allowance, and pay slip showing the entire shift schedule.
Automated F&F settlement computation for any exit - pending shift allowances, leave encashment, notice recovery, gratuity for eligible staff, and PF withdrawal initiation. High-volume exits processed simultaneously.
Service charge pool computation and distribution to eligible staff by department and hours worked, tracked on a voluntary basis as per the current regulatory framework (Delhi HC 2025 ruling on voluntary disclosure).
Seasonal staffing workflow for peak occupancy, wedding season, and banquet events - document collection, ESIC enrollment, payroll activation, and season-end F&F for temporary staff without disrupting the permanent HR system.
Centralised HR across all hotel properties - attendance, leave, payroll, and headcount consolidated from every property into one view for the group HR team with property-wise drill-down.
