Restaurant management software
Here’s how Agendrix helps restaurant managers.
Agendrix was launched in 2015 with the idea of simplifying restaurant staff management. Here’s a look at what makes it an indispensable tool in many restaurants worldwide today.
A single, up-to-date schedule
The latest version of the schedule is always at your employees’ fingertips, via the Agendrix mobile app or any web browser.
Leave requests
Your employees submit their leave requests to you via Agendrix, where you can review and approve them in an instant.
Open shifts
Self-service shifts allow employees who wish to do so to fill certain time slots. The perfect way to help you fill the schedule.
Shift swaps
Your employees can arrange to swap or transfer shifts between themselves. When you approve, the schedule automatically reflects the change.
Availability-based management
Your employees’ periods of availability are always clearly displayed to avoid conflicts and better respect everyone’s personal schedule.
Professional messaging
Avoid the proliferation of communication channels with your own professional chat system.
Spend reports
Several automatic or ad hoc reports let you monitor various aspects of your budgets, including labor costs.
More than
a schedule
Restaurant time tracking
Keep track of clock-in and clock-out times.
Agendrix also offers a time and attendance system to track the work hours of your employees. By combining clock-in/clock-out and the schedule, you gain full control over your team’s work hours.
Track clock-in/clock-out accurately
Any clock-in/out data is stored instantly in your organization’s online HQ in Agendrix, ready to be reviewed or edited by approved managers.
Clock-in terminals from your devices
Turn an existing iPad, Android tablet, or computer into a clocking-in terminal. No costly equipment needed; just install the Agendrix app, assign PINs, and go.
Lateness alerts
Notifications inform you of any lateness or absence based on the scheduled work hours to help you react quickly.
Curb time theft and buddy punching
For added security, Agendrix can be set to use facial recognition to identify the user on clock-in.
Export hours to your payroll system
Agendrix integrates with many popular restaurant payroll software. You can also generate an Excel report to help you import the hours into your system.
Restaurant HR software
Manage your human resources with ease.
With its complementary HR features, Agendrix can also become your one-stop shop for managing your restaurant’s human resources.
Create surveys, get great feedback
Create custom surveys you can then share with the members of your organization in a click. The software does the response collecting to let you focus on taking action.
Your space for employee recognition
High fives involves both employees and managers in the creation of fun recognition cards that help highlight the little everyday successes that too often go unnoticed.
Records to keep your HR organized
Agendrix centralizes and organizes your HR files. Keep work hours, important info (allergies, emergency contacts, etc.), personnel files, and professional communications in one convenient location.
Smooth onboarding and integration
Structure the onboarding of new staff in your organization while seamlessly collecting the HR information you need for their personnel file.
Your questions answered.
How long will it take to implement Agendrix in my restaurant?
You and/or your managers can easily get started with Agendrix in just a few hours.
As the application requires no installation or extensive technical know-how, the most time-consuming step is usually waiting for your employees to connect to Agendrix for the first time.
What’s more, our support team will be happy to assist you during implementation and provide any necessary training, free of charge. This service is included and unlimited.
Is your online restaurant employee scheduling software also available via an app?
Yes.
To download or update the app, simply head over to the relevant application store:
App Store for iPhone and iPad
Google Play for Android
The companion app is free for users who are part of an organization subscribed to Agendrix.
Will all my restaurant staff always have access to their schedules?
Yes, provided you have Internet access and an Agendrix account in good standing.
How can I use your restaurant management application to manage time and attendance?
By subscribing to the Time and attendance add-on module, you’ll be able to set up various ways to let your employees clock-in/out.
How can I communicate with and manage my restaurant’s staff if an employee can’t show up for a shift?
The open shift feature lets you add unassigned shifts to the schedule. Creating such shifts generates a notification inviting employees who meet the requirements (appropriate position, no schedule conflicts, no overtime, etc.) to volunteer to fill said shifts. Very handy for finding substitutes quickly—and to let those who wish to work a little more hours do so.
How can I create a shared schedule across multiple restaurants?
Agendrix lets you create separate schedules for each of your branches. You’ll also always be able to see which employees have already been scheduled globally. This is a great way to avoid assigning the same person to two separate branches by mistake.
To find out more about the best way to manage multiple branches, please refer to our article on this subject in our Help Center.
How can I keep track of the hours worked by my staff in my restaurant, café, or bar?
By subscribing to the Time and attendance add-on module, you can set up one or more convenient ways of tracking work hours. We generally recommend that bars, cafés, and other restaurants set up a tablet connected to Agendrix to let employees record their clock-in/out hours and breaks. Not only is this solution easy to adopt and use, it’s also inexpensive.
Is this a free restaurant scheduling app?
Yes, there is a free version of Agendrix. Although much more practical than Excel for managing schedules, it is far from ideal. In particular, it doesn’t allow you to communicate with your employees, an essential feature as far as schedule management goes in the restaurant industry.
We urge you to launch a free trial (up to 21 days) to discover Agendrix and its many features. This trial will let you judge whether the solution is the right one for your business, with no commitment or payment required on your part.
Does your free restaurant software allow you to calculate days off?
Yes, the free version of Agendrix allows you to calculate days off in the schedule.
The full version of Agendrix even lets you receive leave requests directly from your employees and to categorize them (vacation, sick, etc.).
Why use an HR software in the foodservice industry?
HR software is particularly useful for simplifying employee onboarding and integration processes, as well as for computerizing HR files.
What is a restaurant employee scheduling software?
