persoo for Catering & hospitality

Wedding, banquet, company party — service is covered.

Every event needs a different team: sometimes eight servers and two at the bar, sometimes kitchen and dishwashing for 300 guests. With persoo you plan per job, your temps accept shifts themselves — and the hours go into payroll at the right rate.

Sound familiar?

The job comes in on Thursday, the wedding is on Saturday

In catering, short notice is normal — and every event is different. Instead of phoning half your contact list, you post the slots and your temps apply themselves.

Your benefits

For catering, banquets and hospitality

From a single evening to weekly planning in a restaurant.

Plan per event

Positions such as service, bar, kitchen, dishwashing and logistics with the number of slots — every event exactly as it was booked.

Set up a week, copy it

For restaurants, canteens or hotel banquets: copy one day to up to 60 dates, with absences and preferred times already taken into account.

Pay groups

Server, team lead, cook: every shift has its pay group. Anyone who can do both gets the right rate for each assignment — fixed when the slot is confirmed.

Health certificate & hygiene instruction

Your staff upload their health certificate and other documents to their profile themselves. They sign instructions and contracts as PDFs right on their phone.

Briefing the day before

Address with map link, meeting point, on-site contact and details such as the dress code — automatically the evening before, at the time you set.

Hours & DATEV

Actual times, breaks and no-shows per shift. Then payroll sheets per person and a DATEV export (LODAS) for your tax adviser.

A real-world example

A wedding with 120 guests

Example: a caterer runs a wedding at a country estate — service, bar, kitchen and dishwashing, set-up from 14:00.

1

Create from a template

The template “Wedding up to 150 guests” brings positions, shifts and slots with it. Choose the venue and client, adjust the times.

2

Post the shifts

The slots go to everyone with “Service” or “Bar” as a skill. Whoever has time applies — you accept the best fit.

3

The evening before

Everyone confirmed gets the briefing: Gut Ellerhof, 14:00 meeting point at the farmyard, black trousers, white shirt, contact person Jana.

Times & payroll

Check-in by QR code at the staff entrance or time tracking by the team lead. At the end of the month, the payroll sheets for all events.

Cost in this example: 13 confirmed slots × €0.25 = €3.25 net · with 12 such events a month, around €39 net

Long evenings

Rest periods, mini-jobs, immediate registration — warnings instead of trouble

Anyone serving until two in the morning shouldn’t be in the canteen at eight. persoo shows warnings when you fill a slot — you decide.

  • Rest period between two shifts — you set the minimum, for hospitality for example 10 hours
  • Maximum daily working time and monthly hours limit per person
  • Mini-job limit and 70-day rule for temps (optional, not legal advice)
  • Reminder about the immediate registration (Sofortmeldung) on the first assignment — hospitality is one of the sectors where it is mandatory
  • Auto-assign skips people with a warning

FAQ

Questions from caterers

Can I set different hourly rates for service and team leads?

Yes, with pay groups. You create groups with a rate, such as “Service” and “Team lead”, and select them on the shift. You can override the rate for individual people. The rate is fixed when the slot is confirmed, so later changes don’t alter past assignments.

Where is my staff’s health certificate kept?

In the person’s profile. They upload it themselves and share it with your agency. The file is stored encrypted without image metadata and is only visible to authorised members of your team.

Is persoo also suitable for weekly planning in a restaurant?

Yes, if you plan with temps who accept shifts themselves: set up the week once, copy the days, and absences and preferred times feed into the suggestions. persoo is not built for a rigid rota with permanent employees.

What counts as a confirmed slot?

A confirmed slot in a shift. One server at a wedding is one confirmed slot. Cancellations within 24 hours of confirming are not charged, and reassigning costs nothing extra.
