What F&B HR software must do

5 things a food & beverage HR system should do. We do all five.

Schedule shifts, capture gate and field attendance, hold contract and permanent together, feed overtime into wages, and keep multi-state statutory and registers clean. 247HRM does all five from a single record.

Schedule shifts

Rotating and night shifts are planned per plant and warehouse, with patterns assigned to permanent and contract workers.

3 shifts, every site

Capture gate and field

Face, geo and biometric attendance marks workers at the plant gate, while field sales mark with geo attendance on route. No new hardware, no lock-in.

0 hardware lock-in

Hold both workforces

Permanent staff and contract or temporary labour sit on one record, so headcount and wages are never tracked in two systems.

1 record for all staff

Feed overtime to wages

Attendance and approved overtime flow straight into payroll, so attendance-linked wages and OT are paid without re-keying.

0 re-entry to payroll

Keep statutory clean

PF, ESI, PT and LWF are computed across states with wage registers, so compliance keeps pace with FSSAI and labour requirements.

One suite · four jobs

From the gate to the wage register, in one flow.

Click through to see how 247HRM handles shift scheduling, gate and field attendance, contract plus permanent workforce, and attendance-fed payroll and statutory, all from one record.

Rotating and night shifts, planned per site

Build shift patterns for every plant and warehouse, then assign permanent and contract workers to rotations, weekly offs and night cycles. The roster carries straight into attendance, so what is scheduled is exactly what is checked at the gate.

Gate at the plant, geo on the route

Plant and warehouse workers mark at the gate with face, geo-fencing or biometric capture, while field sales staff mark with geo attendance on their route. There is no extra hardware to buy and no device lock-in, and late or absent workers are flagged to the supervisor in real time.

Contract and permanent, on one record

Permanent employees, contract workers and temporary hands sit on a single employee record. Contract labour is grouped by vendor with its own attendance and wage rules, so headcount, compliance and pay never split across two systems.

Attendance and approved overtime flow into full-cycle payroll, so attendance-linked wages and OT are paid without re-keying. PF, ESI, PT and LWF are computed across states with wage registers, Form 16 and Form 24Q, keeping a large mixed workforce compliant.

GATEPlant & field attendance engine

Plant gate and field route, no new hardware.

247HRM marks attendance at the plant gate with face recognition, geo-fencing or biometric capture, and lets field sales staff mark with geo attendance on their route. There is no proprietary device to buy and no vendor lock-in, and every mark feeds shift, overtime and wage calculations.

Three capture modes at the gate, no extra hardware lock-in.
Field geo attendance
Sales staff mark from the route, matched to the working day.
Overtime ready
Extra hours captured at the gate carry into attendance-linked wages.

The cost of fragmented systems

The hidden cost of muster rolls and split registers.

When shifts sit in a spreadsheet, gate attendance in a standalone device, field sales on a call sheet and statutory in another tool, the same worker is entered again and again. Overtime is missed and registers drift. Here is the difference 247HRM makes.

Fragmented F&B HR

How it works

HR that lives where the workers actually are.

Three connections do the work: roster in, gate and field attendance in, wages and statutory out.

Manual muster rollGate to payroll

Roster and attendance, captured once.

The published shift roster and gate attendance feed a single payroll calculation. As part of Complete HRMS, the F&B setup shares one employee record, so headcount, overtime and wages never drift apart across plant and field.

  • Rostered shifts reused across attendance and payroll
  • Gate and field marks update headcount and overtime in real time
  • Wages recompute when attendance or OT changes

Contract labour and field sales, without the chasing.

Contract and temporary workers are grouped by vendor on the same record as permanent staff, and field sales mark with geo attendance from the app. Supervisors mark and approve from one place, and contract labour compliance and registers stay in step with the rest of the business.

  • Vendor-wise grouping with contract labour rules
  • One headcount across permanent, contract and field

Questions, answered

Your food & beverage HR questions, answered.

Can 247HRM handle plant, warehouse and field sales staff on one system?
Yes. Plant and warehouse workers, permanent and contract, and field sales staff sit on a single employee record. Plant staff mark at the gate while field sales mark with geo attendance on route, so headcount, compliance and pay are never split across systems.
Does gate attendance need special biometric hardware?
No. 247HRM captures attendance at the plant gate using face recognition, geo-fencing or biometric methods with no extra hardware to buy and no device lock-in. You are not tied to a single proprietary device vendor.
How is field sales attendance captured?
Field sales staff mark attendance with geo attendance from their phone on the route, matched to their working day. Plant and field attendance then feed the same payroll, with no separate call sheet to reconcile.
Does overtime flow into payroll automatically?
Yes. Attendance and approved overtime captured at the gate feed full-cycle payroll, so attendance-linked wages and overtime are paid without re-keying into a separate payroll tool.
Does it handle PF, ESI, PT and LWF across multiple states?
247HRM computes PF, ESI, PT and LWF across states and produces wage registers, Form 16 and Form 24Q, so a large mixed workforce across several sites stays compliant from one payroll run.
Does it help with FSSAI and labour record requirements?
247HRM holds employee, attendance and wage records in one place with registers ready for inspection, supporting the human resource and labour record requirements that sit alongside FSSAI and state labour compliance for F&B operations.
Where these answers come from

Statutory references used across the attendance, payroll and compliance modules:

  • Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act (PF) and Employees' State Insurance Act (ESI) contribution rules.
  • State Professional Tax (PT) and Labour Welfare Fund (LWF) schedules for the sites' states of operation.
  • Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act registers and state labour record requirements alongside FSSAI obligations.
Note: rates and registers follow the current statutes for each state of operation.
Glossary

F&B HR and payroll terms, in plain language.

Quick reference for the terms used across the attendance, payroll and compliance modules for food and beverage.

Muster roll
The manual register of worker attendance traditionally kept at a plant; 247HRM replaces it with face, geo and biometric gate capture.
Gate attendance
Marking presence at the plant or warehouse entrance, matched to the rostered shift and carried into wages.
Field geo attendance
Attendance marked by field sales staff from their route using location, recorded against the working day.
Contract labour
Workers engaged through a vendor rather than employed directly, with separate attendance and wage rules but held on the same record.
Overtime (OT)
Hours worked beyond the rostered shift, captured at the gate and carried into attendance-linked wages for payment.
PF / ESI
Provident Fund and Employees' State Insurance, statutory contributions deducted and deposited for eligible workers each cycle.
PT / LWF
Professional Tax and Labour Welfare Fund, state-level statutory deductions that vary by state of operation.
FSSAI
Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, whose regime sits alongside the labour and HR records 247HRM keeps ready.
