Managing working time in hotels and hotel chains requires exceptional flexibility. Shift work, seasonality, multiple departments (front desk, housekeeping, food & beverage, technical), and high staff turnover make manual scheduling quickly ineffective. Our workforce planning and time tracking system for hotels organizes these processes, automates settlements, and provides full control over working time - whether in a single hotel or across an entire chain.
Thanks to centralized management, automated reporting, and stable 24/7 operation, the system effectively supports hotel managers, employees, and property owners, helping maintain high guest service quality while keeping costs under control.

FAQ
Key questions
Harmony365 supports managers in decision-making by indicating the recommended staffing levels based on the hotel’s current operational data.
The system analyzes, among others, the number of guests, occupied rooms, and booked breakfasts, and on this basis suggests how many employees should be scheduled in specific departments such as reception, housekeeping, or food & beverage. The final decision always remains with the manager.
Thanks to these recommendations, the hotel can better respond to seasonality and changes in occupancy, reduce the risk of staff shortages during peak periods, and avoid unnecessary labor costs during off-season. Harmony365 enables faster, more accurate scheduling without manual calculations.
During periods of increased occupancy, Harmony365 allows you to define temporary staffing agencies in the system and use external workers without disrupting work schedules. Agency workers are planned in the same way as internal staff, which helps maintain continuity of guest service during peak seasons.
The system automatically generates reports on the usage of agency workers, including the number of hours worked. As a result, settlements with staffing agencies are fast and require no additional administrative work, without manual summaries or Excel.
Yes. Harmony365 uses artificial intelligence (AI) mechanisms for workforce planning in hotels. The system allows you to define any operational variables, such as the number of breakfasts sold, occupied rooms, number of guests, or additional services, which impact staffing requirements.
Based on this data, AI algorithms analyze operational workload and—according to rules defined by the manager—recommend the required number of employees in food & beverage, housekeeping, and other departments. As a result, the hotel plans staffing in an intelligent, flexible, and data-driven way, instead of relying on rigid assumptions.
