Why F&B needs digital transformation?

The F&B industry runs on hourly workers making shift rostering, attendance tracking, and payroll calculation an admin burden on HR. Workstem’s cloud HR system lets employers and HR managers monitor staff across all branches in real time, automatically tracking ADW, holiday pay, and overtime allowances to keep your business compliant. The system also checks each employee's weekly hours against Hong Kong's "468/418" continuous contract requirements, and accurately calculates statutory entitlements like paid annual leave and sickness allowance to reduce compliance risk.

HR challenges for F&B

Inflexible rostering for part-time employees

Random and ad-hoc leave management is a complex issue for F&B. The traditional rostering method is inadequate to handle the real scenarios efficiently.

Inefficient approval process

During F&B peak seasons, employees working overtime by using traditional paper applications would lack efficiency, result in high administrative costs and unnecessary errors in their payroll.

Hard to track benefits on hourly rate employees

Hourly employees work flexible hours, making manual attendance tracking slow and error-prone. To determine whether staff qualify under the Ordinance "468/418" continuous contract rule and whether they're entitled to rest days, public holidays, paid annual leave, sickness allowance, maternity leave, and other rights under Ordinance 713 is difficult.

Frequent pay runs cause hectic calculations

In general, F&B with frequent pay-runs in a month usually tackles high turn-over employees, variable pay types and statutory entitlements (hourly rate, daily rate, overtime payment, bonus, and allowances, etc.). The process is prone to have errors and high administrative costs in the long run.
