SalaryBox is a complete hotel staff management software built for the way hospitality runs — 24×7 front-desk rotations, three-shift housekeeping, split-shift F&B teams, night-audit staff, on-call maintenance, and contract agency workers, all in one mobile-first platform. Capture touchless attendance at staff entry with AI face recognition, biometric devices, GPS, or QR code. Build rosters for every department. Automate night-shift allowances, weekend premiums, and overtime. Run payroll with full statutory compliance for PF, ESI, Professional Tax, LWF, and TDS — across every hotel, resort, and serviced apartment in your group.
A hotel is not one workplace. It is eight operations running in parallel, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. Front desk runs rotating shifts so reception is manned at 3 AM for a late arrival. Housekeeping works split shifts — morning room turnaround for check-outs, afternoon deep-clean for check-ins. The kitchen runs two breakfast cooks, lunch crew, evening banquet staff, and a night room-service team. Security patrols 24 hours. Maintenance responds on-call. Contract agency staff fill gaps during peak season. Every cadre has a different pay structure, different allowances, different overtime rules.
Most hotel technology covers guests. The Property Management System handles reservations and the channel manager syncs OTAs. But everything behind the guest experience — the staff delivering it — still runs on paper registers, WhatsApp group rosters, and month-end payroll panic. Proxy attendance is rampant in housekeeping. Shift swaps happen on messaging apps and never make it to payroll. Night-shift allowances get miscalculated. Multi-property groups have no central view. SalaryBox handles every employee behind the guest experience so your PMS can focus on guests.
Housekeeping on split shifts, kitchen on staggered timings, night auditors on 10 PM–6 AM — paper registers can't handle this and every miscounted hour inflates overtime.
Colleagues sign for absent staff. Time theft quietly adds 5–7% to monthly wages without anyone catching it until a grievance escalates mid-season.
Night duty premium, weekend duty allowance, festival pay, banquet incentives — every rule different and manual spreadsheets miss them every month.
Three hotels, two cities, different PT slabs, different agency staffing. Each property's HR runs their own spreadsheets with no consolidated head-office view.
Every feature below is live in SalaryBox today — verified from the product, not marketing copy. One platform for attendance, rosters, leave, and payroll across every department and every property.
AI Selfie Punch-In, biometric device integration, GPS attendance, QR code check-in, and AI Attendance Kiosk — five options for every role from front-desk to banquet event staff.
Unlimited geofences for every hotel, resort, and serviced apartment. Fake GPS Blocking and Verified Device Punch-In prevent proxy attendance at every staff entrance.
Fixed and rotating shifts for front desk and F&B. Split shifts for housekeeping. Night-audit schedules. Multiple daily shifts with break tracking and mandatory working-hours rules.
Monthly salaries for managers, hourly for agency contract staff, daily wages for banquet teams — all with HRA, DA, LTA, and custom allowances in one payroll run.
Night duty allowance, weekend premium, holiday pay, and shift differentials all triggered automatically from roster and attendance data — zero manual calculation.
Every hotel, resort, and branch visible in one dashboard. Role-based access for GMs and department heads. Consolidated payroll for the entire hospitality group in one action.
From front office to banquet hall — SalaryBox manages attendance, rosters, and payroll for every cadre in your hotel operation, across every shift.
From 24×7 staff entry attendance to split-shift rosters and night-duty payroll automation — every capability built for real hospitality operations.
A hotel has five kinds of entry scenario, so one attendance mode cannot serve them all. Front-desk and back-office staff use a biometric device at the staff entrance — fast, reliable, hardware-grade accuracy. Housekeeping supervisors use AI Selfie Punch-In with face verification from their phone as they start floor rounds. Off-site maintenance engineers and villa staff use GPS attendance when they arrive at a remote block or outdoor site. Banquet event staff brought in for weddings and conferences use QR Code Punch-In at the event venue — scan and go in two seconds. Any spare tablet at the HR desk or reception becomes an AI Attendance Kiosk — automatic face-recognition punch-in without contact, no fingerprint hygiene concerns. All five modes feed into one unified hotel attendance dashboard in real time, visible to duty managers and HR across every department.
Hospitality is the hardest scheduling industry in any sector. Front desk needs cover at 3 AM when a red-eye flight lands. Housekeeping runs split shifts — morning cleans and afternoon turnarounds. Kitchen covers breakfast cooks, lunch line, banquet crew, and late-night room service. The night auditor works 10 PM to 6 AM alone. SalaryBox handles every pattern: fixed and rotating shifts for front-desk and F&B, split shifts for housekeeping morning-afternoon workflows, multiple daily shifts for kitchen crews, and dedicated night-audit schedules. Shift time limits automatically block early check-ins and late check-outs that silently inflate overtime. Break tracking deducts unpaid meal breaks automatically. Custom leave policies handle casual leave, sick leave, and seasonal staff leave with manager approvals from the mobile app. Monthly rosters build in minutes. Every hour captured feeds directly into payroll.
A hospitality group running multiple hotels, resorts, and service apartments needs central control without losing property-level autonomy. SalaryBox puts unlimited geofences around every property — main building, villa block, and off-site banquet lawn all covered with customizable radius. Staff can only mark attendance from inside the geofence. Fake GPS Blocking rejects location-spoofing apps. Verified Device Punch-In locks each staff member to an approved phone. Each property gets its own general manager dashboard while corporate HR sees live attendance across every hotel in the group simultaneously. Role-based access ensures the F&B manager sees only F&B staff, the GM sees the whole property, and corporate HR sees the whole group. Payroll runs per property or for the entire group in one action.
Hotel payroll is uniquely layered. Duty managers earn monthly salaries. Contract agency housekeepers earn hourly rates. Banquet servers earn daily wages. Night auditors earn a base plus night-duty allowance. SalaryBox supports monthly, daily, and hourly pay in the same platform with custom allowances — HRA, DA, LTA, night duty, weekend premium, hazard allowance, uniform allowance, banquet incentive. Every attendance record flows into payroll automatically. Statutory compliance is fully automated: Provident Fund with ready-to-upload ECR files, ESI contributions, state-specific Professional Tax slabs, Labour Welfare Fund, and TDS on the latest tax regime. Salary advances auto-deduct. Reimbursements with digital receipts integrate in-line. Instant payslip generation pushes payslips to every staff member through the app.
From boutique hotels and resorts to serviced-apartment networks and multi-city hospitality groups — operators trust SalaryBox with staff attendance, rosters, and payroll.
Housekeeping proxy attendance was costing us nearly a lakh a month and we couldn't catch it on paper rounds. Face recognition at the staff entrance with geofencing stopped it overnight. Payroll now closes in two hours instead of a full week.
Our group runs three hotels across two states — different PT slabs, different agency contracts, hundreds of contract staff at peak season. SalaryBox gave us one dashboard and automated every compliance rule. Our corporate HR team finally sees everything in one view.
