Job Description:
Company Background
S4labour, established in 2010, is a hospitality software organisation. Our purpose is to improve productivity within the hospitality sector, using software and consultancy. Our flagship software, S4labour, was created in 2012 in response to requests from hospitality clients for an efficient labour scheduling tool and is used to optimise labour scheduling and management.
Our aims are to:
● Provide our clients with ever superior customer service
● Understand better our clients’ labour costs
● Improve their profitability and labour productivity
● Supporting our customer in improving their service
S4 was ‘built by operators, for operators’ and is one of our unique selling points. Given labour can account for +30% of operational costs in hospitality, there is a clear need for a tool that matches labour supply with demand and is easy for operators to use and interpret.
We are providing an easy to use, intuitive system which helps people run their business better. We are a people business.
S4labour is growing and now deployed in over 1,500 UK sites and receiving fantastic customer feedback.
We also have an experienced team of consultants who have worked in the industry for most of their professional careers so understand our clients’ needs.
You will have real accountability and ownership from day one, coupled with a comprehensive induction and training. This is the role today, but we want to know where you can take it in the future. Besides the role we would love to know what else you could bring to our organisation.
Our motto is ‘positive, professional and have fun whilst working your socks off’.
If you get excited at the prospect of helping to build a small company while developing yourself and challenging us, then we’d love to hear from you.
