Note — general guidance only: Software capabilities and compliance settings evolve. Confirm current features with ClubsHR, ClubsNSW and NSW Liquor & Gaming before rolling out new workflows.



Running a bar or restaurant inside a NSW club means juggling table turns, cocktail crushes and Saturday-night trivia—often all at once. ClubsHR, built in partnership with ClubsNSW, drops a purpose-built control panel in your pocket so you can keep pours steady and plates flying without drowning in admin.



Why Bars & Restaurants Love ClubsHR

• Designed for hospitality hustle:
Daily and weekly roster views make it easy to mirror lunch and dinner peaks, copy proven templates or tweak on the fly.

• Perfect-Match staffing engine:
The system suggests the most qualified bartender or line cook for every slot—no more manual spreadsheet shuffles.

• Mobile power for every team member:
iOS & Android apps let staff check rosters, set availability and submit leave between orders.

• Lightning-fast shift swaps:
Employees request a swap, eligible replacements get notified, and managers approve with one tap—roster stays accurate in real time.

• Seamless payroll hand-off:
Hours flow straight into Xero, MYOB or Reckon, shaving hours off end-of-week processing.

Five Feature Wins That Pour Profit

• Live labour cost tracking:
See the wage impact of each roster change before you hit “publish”, keeping margins on the right side of happy-hour pricing.

• Push-notification roster drops:
Last-minute function? Publish an extra shift and qualified servers receive an instant alert—no group-chat chaos.

• GPS or tablet clock-ins:
Digital time stamps with selfie verification curb buddy-punching and create audit-ready attendance logs.

• Compliance guardrails:
Built-in Award interpretation flags break breaches or excessive hours before they become an issue.

• Single source of truth:
Availability, leave, certifications and messages live in one cloud hub—so nothing gets lost between bar, kitchen and back office.

Culture & Engagement Gains

• Empowered staff:
Autonomy to swap, claim or release shifts boosts work-life harmony and retention.

• Clear communication:
Shift-anchored chat threads keep service notes (and banter) organised and searchable.

• Transparent feedback loops:
Managers review late starts or missed breaks via dashboards, coaching in real time instead of weeks later.

Quick-Start Checklist for F&B Managers

  1. Import Your Venue Structure – Create role tags (e.g., Bar, Bistro, Pass) to leverage Perfect-Match suggestions.
  2. Launch a “Roster in Your Pocket” Push – Get every casual to download the app and accept their first mobile shift before next roster drop.
  3. Turn On Cost Alerts – Activate live labour tracking so every roster tweak shows its dollar impact instantly.

Final Cheers

Whether you’re pouring craft lagers at the sports bar or plating à-la-carte steaks in the bistro, ClubsHR keeps the workflow smooth, the roster compliant and the team connected. Swap the spreadsheets for an app that speaks the language of ClubsNSW hospitality—and spend your reclaimed hours delighting members instead of decoding rosters.
