Questions
What does Halmsian do?
Halmsian is workforce and operations software for Australian hospitality. It covers rostering, clock in/out, timesheets, leave, HR and documents, approvals, WHS and incidents, payroll and finance in one system.
Who is it for?
Cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and groups that run several venues. Each person sees the venues and tools their role covers, from staff to general manager.
Does it handle awards?
Halmsian records rostered and clocked hours, breaks, overtime and leave, and hands approved timesheets to payroll. It does not calculate award rates for you: you or your payroll provider apply the award or agreement your staff work under, and you stay responsible for checking it.
Where is my data stored?
Halmsian data is hosted in Australia.
Is there a mobile app?
Staff use the Halmsian web app on any phone browser today. Native iPhone and Android apps are coming.
