EntryPoint Global - Time and Attendance - Labor Scheduling - Kronos - Workbrain - Infor

It's no secret that the hospitality industry is a prime benefactor of Workforce Management solutions. 

Until recently, the major WFM players haven't been doing too much in this arena.  But that might be about to change.

Kronos has just announced their latest offering targeted directly to the restaurant category within the greater hospitality space.  It is of course, aptly named, Kronos for Dining.  Okay, so the name is not the most creative, but it sure gets the point across, which I like.

In reading more of the details on their website, it appears to be an integrated offering of their core Workforce Central Suite with the usual suspects like Time and Attendance and Scheduling (and a of course others) bundled in with the relatively recently acquired Unicru, now branded as Workforce Acquisition.  But interestingly, the 2 case studies (Rock Bottom and Uno Chicago Grill) profiled on their website appear to be Unicru clients and I didn't see any mention of an integrated solution or anything around Time and Attendance or Scheduling. 

Are there any Dinning establishments that have such an integrated solution?  If not, why not?

From my perspective, this is a no brainer.  Being involved in the hospitality industry for over 15 years now, I know first hand how important labor management is.

But I also know that there haven't really been any 'good' solutions.  Sure there's a bunch of point solutions but what we're seeing now in the Kronos for Dining offering just might be what the chef ordered, so to speak.

I'm excited to see Kronos take this much needed step and look forward to helping our clients get the benefits they deserve from such a solution.  Of course, software is only 20% of the solution so remember to focus on the business and all the other 'stuff', not the product.
