Full house, perfectly staffed.
Scheduling, time tracking, tips and part-timers — planned automatically to match guest demand, in one interface.
Schedule · Friday
Service is running, but the plan is shaky
Weekend rush without a plan
Friday night packed, Saturday half empty — you plan by gut feel and only see the miss in the revenue report.
Last-minute sick calls in service
Two hours before shift the phone rings. Who covers? You work the team roster instead of greeting guests.
Mini-jobs and flexible contracts to track
The 520-euro limit, student hour caps, casual contracts — without an overview every month is a nail-biter.
Overtime at month-end
On the 30th you see: some colleagues are 30 hours ahead, others behind. Too late for fair corrections.
Never over- or understaffed.
Set the expected demand — PlanState recommends the right staffing per station and keeps your labor costs in check.

What restaurateurs say
Friday nights used to be pure stress. Now I plan to demand, and my team knows in the morning when they're on.

“Sick call at 5pm? Cover is there in minutes.”
