Bringing recruitment, shift coordination and timesheet management under one roof.

TalentBase's staffing process covered finding chefs, arranging shifts, recording attendance and processing timesheets. Bringing these activities together reduced reliance on separate records, paperwork and manual coordination.

The challenge

  • Finding suitable chefs for different hospitality staffing requirements.

  • Keeping job requirements, shift schedules and chef assignments organised.

  • Keeping clock-in and clock-out records in one place instead of managing attendance information separately.

  • Replacing a lengthy, paper-based timesheet process involving manual completion and approval.

  • Keeping payment and invoice information connected to completed shifts.

  • Giving the recruitment team one place to oversee the staffing operation.

How we built the solution

  • Created a structured job-posting and chef discovery experience where businesses can define roles, positions, rates and shift timings, then review relevant chef profiles.

  • Connected jobs with individual shifts so businesses can see required and accepted positions, assigned chefs and the status of upcoming, ongoing and completed work.

  • Built digital check-in and check-out workflows within the Chef App, linking recorded working times directly to the relevant shift and timesheet.

  • Digitised the timesheet journey so shift hours are generated from attendance records and sent to the client for review and approval within the platform.

  • Connected approved timesheets with payment calculations and invoice processing, keeping financial records linked to each completed shift.

  • Created an Admin Panel bringing chefs, clients, job requests, unfilled shifts, attendance issues, flagged profiles, payment settings, invoices and timesheets into one central workspace.
