Rippling for hospitality groups

Run hotels, restaurants and venues on one people platform. We configure Rippling so shifts, tips and seasonal hiring are handled the same way at every property, and payroll lands right every time.

The challenge

What makes hospitality different

Round-the-clock shifts, tipped and salaried staff side by side, and headcount that swings with the season. Every property has its own managers, and labor rules change from state to state.

01

Tips and service charges

Tip pools, tip credits and service charges that must be distributed and reported correctly every pay period.

02

Seasonal swings in headcount

Summer and holiday peaks mean hiring and releasing large teams quickly, then doing it again next year.

03

Shifts around the clock

Split shifts, overnight cover and last-minute swaps across front of house, kitchen and housekeeping.

04

Multi-property operations

Each hotel or venue has its own managers, rates and budgets, but leadership needs one view.
