Smart Scheduling & Holiday Planning with AI for UK Restaurants & Hotels

Running a restaurant or hotel in the UK means dealing with unpredictable shifts, last-minute absences, and seasonal holiday chaos. Managers spend hours juggling spreadsheets, messages, and staff conflicts often leading to burnout, overtime, or gaps in service.

Enter Alphanomic , the UK’s all-in-one HR and workforce platform powered by AI. It’s designed to take the guesswork out of rota planning and holiday scheduling so you save time and reduce staff stress.

1. AI-Powered Rota Builder

Instead of starting from scratch each week, Alphanomic uses AI to:

  • Auto-generate rotas based on staff availability, skill sets, and past trends

  • Flag scheduling conflicts or understaffed shifts

  • Optimise shift lengths to meet forecasted footfall or bookings

  • Suggest swaps or fill-ins for sick days

Result: Save 4–6 hours per week on rota planning and reduce last-minute chaos

2. Holiday Request Automation

Managing time-off requests can be a nightmare during peak seasons. Alphanomic simplifies it:

  • Staff submit holiday requests via mobile

  • AI reviews availability, team coverage, and past patterns

  • Managers get clear approve/reject suggestions

  • All data auto-updates in the rota and holiday tracker

Result: Fewer conflicts, clear visibility, and happier teams.

3. Real-Time Shift & Leave Notifications

Alphanomic keeps your team connected:

  • Instant shift change alerts on mobile

  • Approved holidays are locked into the rota

  • Auto-reminders for missed shifts or overtime limits

  • Push notifications for shift offers or updates

Result: Improve communication and reduce no-shows or missed handovers.

4. Mobile Access for Everyone

Staff and managers can:

  • View rotas, swap shifts, and request time off

  • Approve schedules and holidays from anywhere

  • Access availability history and leave balance

Result: Empower your team while cutting admin time.

5. Designed for Multi-Site Operations

Managing multiple locations? Alphanomic :

  • Offers location-specific rotas with centralised oversight

  • Shares trained staff across branches where needed

  • Unifies holiday policies and approvals

Result: Consistent, flexible scheduling across your entire brand.
