Purpose-Built Features

Split Shift Scheduling

Waiters working lunch rush 11am-3pm and dinner rush 6pm-11pm are scheduled as a single day with a gap. Hours are aggregated correctly for payroll and overtime.

Tip Pool Distribution

Service charge and tips are distributed across the roster using hours-worked or custom weights (e.g., head waiter 1.5x, kitchen 0.8x). Transparent and auditable.

Fast Onboarding

New waiter or kitchen hire? CNIC + photo + phone in 3 minutes on mobile. First payroll is already accurate, no back-filled records needed.

Ramadan Mode

One click to apply reduced-hours Ramadan schedule for one month. Reverts to normal after Eid. Sehri/iftar meal allowances can be added as a one-off benefit.

Customer Story

A Lahore cafe chain with 6 outlets and 240 staff switched from Excel rosters to Peoplifi. Shift scheduling per outlet takes 15 minutes weekly instead of 4 hours. Tip pools are calculated transparently and distributed via the IBFT bank sheet, eliminating the cash-handling disputes that previously consumed management time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the tip pool calculated?

You choose a formula: equal per person, per hours worked, or per weighted role. Tips from POS or cash declaration are pooled and distributed alongside monthly salary via the IBFT bank sheet.

Can we onboard a waiter in a single shift?

Yes. Onboarding is a 3-minute mobile flow: photo, CNIC, phone number, bank account (or cash). The employee is active from the next attendance punch and included in the next payroll run automatically.

Do you handle multiple outlets with different ownership?

Yes. Each outlet is a cost centre with its own shift pattern, tip pool, and P&L. If legal ownership differs (separate NTNs), we support multiple FBR filings from one parent account.

What about overnight staff and late-night transport?

Employees clocking out after 10pm are automatically flagged for company transport logs. The finance team sees a monthly transport cost report alongside payroll.
