Contractor Management Software for Hotels
Manage door staff, agency caterers, contract cleaners, and event workers with portable credentials that follow them between venues. Define credential requirements per role, track SIA licences and DBS checks, and auto-deactivate access when events end. Built specifically for UK hotels.
Understanding hotel compliance
Hotels manage food safety across restaurants, room service, events, and bars-often 24/7. Multi-department coordination is essential.
Multi-outlet compliance (restaurant, bar, room service)
24/7 operations requiring consistent standards
International guest expectations and dietary requirements
Large events and conferences with mass catering
Why this matters
Contractor Management challenges for hotels
With only 78% of UK hotels fully compliant, contractor management challenges are widespread. Here's what we hear from operators.
Door staff with expired SIA licences across your hotel's restaurant, bar, room service, and banqueting operations
Agency caterers without verified food hygiene training in a 24-hour hotel environment where food is served continuously
No audit trail when licensing officers visit when your hotel team spans multiple outlets and shift patterns
Re-collecting documents from regulars every time across all departments in your hotel's food operation
Contractor Management Software built for hotels
Paddl's Contractor Management features help hotels stay compliant and save time.
Door Staff SIA Tracking for Hotels
Track SIA licence numbers, types (Door Supervisor, Security Guard, Close Protection), and expiry dates for every door supervisor working at your venue. For hotels managing multiple food outlets - restaurant, bar, room service, and banqueting - this provides a unified view across every operation.
Agency Catering Credentials for Hotels
Verify food hygiene certificates, allergen awareness training, and right to work documents for agency kitchen staff before they start a shift. Hotel teams running 24-hour food operations can track compliance around the clock, with automatic shift handover documentation.
Event-Based Staffing for Hotels
Create events with dates and roles, assign contractors, track check-ins, and automatically revoke access when the event ends. Whether it's a breakfast buffet, wedding banquet, or late-night room service, your hotel's systems adapt to each outlet's specific needs.
Credential Expiry Alerts for Hotels
Automatic warnings at 30, 14, and 7 days before SIA licences, DBS checks, or insurance policies expire for any contractor working at your venue. Across your hotel's entire food and beverage operation, from conference catering to poolside dining, standards remain consistent.
Why hotels choose Paddl for contractor management
Common questions about Contractor Management for hotels
How do I verify door hotel staff SIA licences?
When you create a "Door Staff" contractor group, SIA licence number, type, expiry date, and photo are set as required credentials. Contractors submit these through the app, and your managers review and approve them before the contractor can work. For hotels with multiple outlets, this extends across your entire food and beverage operation.
What happens when a contractor works at multiple venues for hotels?
Contractors create one profile with their credentials. When invited to a new venue, their existing credentials are automatically available for review. The new venue just approves them, no re-uploading needed. Hotel teams particularly value this across restaurant, banqueting, and room service operations.
Is there a cost per contractor for hotels?
No. Contractors are completely free and do not count toward your subscription user limit. You can invite as many contractors as you need. In a hotel environment with constantly changing event menus and outlets, this flexibility is essential.
