Hotel Staff Scheduling Insight Needed

Budget: ₹600 - ₹1500

I currently juggle all of our staff rosters with nothing more than spreadsheets, and it shows. Coordination between departments is where everything unravels, especially when the kitchen, housekeeping, and front-of-house teams each follow their own rhythm.

To get a clearer picture—and ultimately choose or build the right scheduling system—I have put together a short, 14-question worksheet focused on day-to-day challenges in Indian hotels and restaurants. If you have real-world experience running shifts, approving timesheets, or balancing leave requests in this environment, your perspective will be invaluable.

The document should take no more than 45 minutes to complete. I do not need polished prose; honest, practical answers and anecdotes are far more useful than perfect formatting. Feel free to reference specific tools or tricks you have used, even if they are as simple as colour-coded notebooks.

Deliverable • Return the completed questionnaire (Word, Google Doc, or PDF) with clear, experience-based responses to all 14 prompts.

I will review answers within 24 hours of submission and follow up with any clarifying questions. If your insights help pinpoint an actionable solution, there is scope for a follow-on engagement to design and implement a new scheduling workflow.

Thank you in advance for sharing your hard-won lessons.
