Everything you need to manage your
food and beverage team

Workforce management across multiple branches, plants, and distribution centers

Food and beverage companies often operate multiple restaurants, cafés, production plants, distribution centers, or points of sale at the same time. With Runa, you can manage all your employees from a single platform, while each manager keeps visibility into their own team.

Organize employees by branch, plant, department, or area

Easily structure your team by restaurant, kitchen, production plant, warehouse, or distribution center.

Access for branch or plant managers

Each manager can manage only the employees under their responsibility.

Track headcount and labor costs by location

Analyze how many employees you have and how much payroll represents at each branch or facility.

Centralized control for HR and leadership

HR and leadership keep a complete view of the entire operation from one place.

Workforce management across multiple branches, plants, and distribution centers

Accurate payroll for hourly, shift, and seasonal employees

In the food and beverage industry, it’s common to have employees working shifts, rotating schedules, weekends, peak seasons, and overtime. Runa is designed to manage these pay structures automatically, letting you calculate payroll accurately no matter the schedule or role.

Advanced time and attendance tracking

Restaurants, production plants, cafés, and distribution centers run multiple shifts and variable schedules, so accurate attendance tracking is essential to ensure efficient operations and correct payroll. With Runa, you can record schedules, manage shifts, and automate the calculation of payroll incidents.

Clock in and out from the mobile app with GPS verification

Employees clock in from their phone, and GPS validates they’re at the corresponding branch, restaurant, or plant.

Vacation and medical leave tracking

Employees can request time off easily while managers keep visibility into their teams’ availability.

Automatic overtime and shift calculation

Runa automatically calculates overtime, worked rest days, and additional shifts to ensure correct pay without manual processes.

Advanced time and attendance tracking

Fast hiring and onboarding for high-turnover teams

Food and beverage companies often hire continuously—cooks, servers, cashiers, delivery drivers, production operators, and temporary staff—to cover peak seasons or open new locations. With Runa, you can onboard new employees with a fully digital process, manage contracts and documents from one place, and register employees with IMSS via IDSE individually or through bulk uploads—speeding up hiring while meeting legal obligations.
