Restaurants – Staff Attendance + Multi-Shift + Chef/Service/Delivery Duty Roster Mapping + Late/Early Rules + OT Approval + Outlet/Section/Table Zone Tracking + Weekly Off Rotation + Payroll Export Automation | Modi Group ✅
Restaurant me attendance sirf HR nahi — service speed, kitchen readiness, peak-hour coverage, delivery dispatch, table section handling, food safety discipline aur cost control sab duty roster + attendance se linked hota hai. Agar multi-shift + late rules + OT approval + section mapping strong nahi hoga toh order delay, guest complaints, online ratings impact aur salary disputes create hote hain.
