CoreStack People · HR & payroll software
HR and payroll software for hotels, restaurants & cafés
Breakfast at seven, dinner till eleven, a night audit in between — and a kitchen and floor team that changes every season.
What HR deals with, day to day
Split shifts and late nights
Service staff work lunch and dinner with a break between; the front office runs through the night.
Food-safety papers
FSSAI food-safety training and food-handler medical fitness for everyone in the kitchen and on service.
Working every holiday
Peak days are everyone else's holidays, so compensatory offs build up.
Seasonal hiring
Resorts and restaurants staff up for the season and hire again the next year.

Questions people ask
We run two restaurants and a cloud kitchen. One account?
Yes. Each outlet is a location with its own admin; payroll and policies stay in one company.
Can kitchen staff use it in Hindi?
Yes. Everyone picks English or Hindi, with larger text if they want it.
Does it handle service charge distribution?
Not as a separate feature today. Salary components are set per company, so a fixed component can be added to the salary structure.
