The HR problems hospitality and retail actually deal with.

Generic HR advice falls down in sector-specific situations. We have written the contracts, policies and processes for businesses that look like yours.

High turnover, fast hiring

Cafes, hotels, restaurants and shops cycle through staff faster than most sectors. We build a contract pack and onboarding flow that turns 5-day hiring into 2.

Shift-based and casual contracts

Zero-hours, casual, pool staff, fixed-term cover for the season. Each has its own legal pitfalls. We write contracts that are compliant and easy for managers to use.

Customer-facing conduct issues

When a customer complains about a team member, you need a fair, ACAS-compliant process that does not take three weeks. We give you the script and the templates.

Tronc, tipping and the new tipping act

The Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act has real teeth. We will write your tronc and tipping policy so you are compliant and your team is happy.

Working-time and rest-break records

Especially for under-18 staff and split-shift workers. We help you set up records that survive an HMRC visit.
