Trusted by hospitality businesses globally.
What’s holding your venue back?
PAIN POINT #1
Schedules change constantly, but your systems can’t keep up
Hospitality operators are managing no-shows, last-minute availability changes, fluctuating trade and rotating casual teams every day. When scheduling, timesheets and payroll don’t stay in sync, managers spend too much time fixing errors, chasing staff and patching together coverage instead of running their service.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
When you change a shift or a staff member clocks in, the data flows directly from the schedule into the timesheet, and straight into payroll. Everything is synced in one system, and updates happen instantly.
PAIN POINT #2
High staff turnover makes onboarding harder to stay on top of
In hospitality, new starters need to be hired and ready quickly, often across multiple venues, roles and shift patterns. When onboarding is manual, contracts get delayed, paperwork goes missing and managers are left chasing admin.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero streamlines onboarding with digital contracts, paperless forms and structured workflows, so new team members can be set up before day one.
PAIN POINT #3
Payroll complexity builds up fast across a mixed workforce
Hospitality employers frequently manage student workers, casuals, part-timers, salaried managers and staff working irregular shifts. That creates real complexity around wage rates, shift allowances, statutory holiday entitlements and provincial employment standards calculations, especially when systems don’t talk to each other.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Instead of manual cross-referencing, Employment Hero matches each worker’s contract type and age eligibility to their logged hours, automatically calculating the correct minimum wage rates, statutory holiday pay and vacation entitlements.
Tired of running your venue on manual admin?
Instant mobile shift filling to claim back your time

Instead of scrambling through group texts and DMs when someone calls in sick, Employment Hero lets you publish open schedule gaps directly to qualified staff via their mobile app. Eligible casuals can view and claim the shift instantly based on their live availability, which automatically updates the master schedule. You simply tap to approve the change, plugging schedule gaps in minutes without the back-and-forth phone calls.
Automated agreement and pay calculations from digital clock-ins

Rather than manually checking hours or chasing staff for missing data, Employment Hero feeds mobile clock-ins straight into your payroll. The platform reads each worker’s age, agreement type and exact hours logged to automatically calculate correct minimum wage rates, statutory holiday pay and vacation entitlements. Because approved timesheets convert into pay lines instantly, you eliminate weekly data entry and ensure accurate pay runs.
Paperless pre-boarding to get staff floor-ready before day one

To stop managers from chasing paperwork mid-service, Employment Hero completely digitizes onboarding before a new hire’s first shift. The system sends a digital link for the employee to securely sign their employment agreement, input bank details, complete tax and Social Insurance Number (SIN) forms and accept venue policies directly from their phone.
Live compliance tracking to keep your venues completely secure

Instead of worrying about outdated records across a high-turnover team, Employment Hero tracks compliance automatically across all your venues. The platform securely stores mandatory credentials like responsible service of alcohol (RSA) or food handler certificates, monitors work permit restrictions via automated visa checks and triggers alerts before any document expires, giving management a live dashboard of shift compliance.
