At Quantaco, we are excited to present the latest updates to Salesline and Cashup, designed to give you sharper insights, faster workflows, and more control of your hospitality business than ever before.
Boost Profitability with Real-Time Rostering Insights
In hospitality, managing staff rostering and labour costs is one of the biggest and most unpredictable challenges for venues. Salesline is a wage analytics tool, designed to help you stay on top of it.
Salesline’s new Efficiency Tracking Feature highlights how efficiently your venue has been operating for the last 13 weeks, helping your hospitality business cut costs, increase productivity and make smarter staffing decisions.
Why Does this Matter to Hospitality Experts?
- Real-Time Performance Insights
Managers can now track team efficiency live, not just retrospectively allowing for quicker decision-making during service periods. This enables immediate corrective action if performance dips.
2. Visibility Into Wage Spend vs Productivity
Salesline can calculate theoretical wage savings over time, helping venues spot inefficiencies and quantify how much money could be saved with better rostering. This supports data-driven staffing decisions such as, identifying overstaffing or peak hour needs.
3. Benchmarking and Continuous Improvement
Venues can benchmark their performance against previous periods or industry standards, identifying trends and setting realistic performance targets.
Scenario A: The Venue Manager Spots off-peak Waste
- Position: Venue Owner
- Situation: Foot traffic dips unexpectedly midweek.
- Action: Using Real-Time Performance Insights, the owner sees labour cost per cover climbing above target in real time. They reallocate one team member to a cleaning task instead of service, alternatively the staff member is sent home.
- Outcome: Labour cost per cover returns to target range, and service levels stay consistent.
Salesline’s other new feature, Fixed vs Flexible Staffing View, breaks down the labour into casual staff (flex) and full-time (fixed) so that you can see immediately the make-up of the shift and know if there is an opportunity to send staff home or not.
Why Does this Matter to Hospitality Experts?
- Clear Visibility into Staffing Composition
By visually separating fixed (permanent) and flexible (casual) staff in the same chart, managers can instantly understand how their workforce is structured throughout the trading day.
- Better Alignment of Labour to Sales
The feature helps identify when staffing levels are too high or too low relative to customer demand, enabling smarter roster adjustments.
This reduces the risk of being overstaffed during quiet periods or understaffed during busy times, both of which impact the bottom line and customer experience.
- Cost Savings Through Smarter Rostering
With a clearer breakdown, venues can fine-tune their use of casual vs permanent staff to better match trading patterns and control labour costs. It supports more strategic scheduling, such as increasing flexible staff during peak periods or reducing fixed costs when demand is low.
- Operational Efficiency
This view gives managers real-time, actionable insights for adjusting rosters quickly and effectively, improving agility and responsiveness. It also makes future planning easier by offering a detailed snapshot of staffing trends.
Scenario B: The Operations Manager balances casual vs permanent staff
- Position: Operations Manager
- Situation: Weekend shifts tend to over-rely on casual staff, inflating penalty rates.
- Action: With the Fixed vs Flexible Staffing View, the manager sees a 70/30 casual-to-permanent split at peak hour. They adjust future rosters to a 50/50 mix.
- Outcome: Overall wage spend drops by 7% over the month, while maintaining full service coverage
Quantaco’s Cashup Just Got Smarter, Here’s What’s New
Cashup is a platform designed to streamline end-of-shift revenue reconciliation for hospitality venues. It replaces traditional spreadsheets with real-time, mobile-accessible reporting, enhancing accuracy and operational efficiency
The latest Cashup enhancements, including the new Short Pay feature and platform maintenance updates bring significant benefits, particularly those operating with CRTs (Cash Redemption Terminals).
Why Does This Matter to Hospitality Experts?
- Smarter Cash Reconciliation with Short Pay
The Short Pay feature introduces a structured and transparent way to handle discrepancies when CRTs can’t dispense the full payout due to technical issues.
This reduces confusion and ensures payout records remain accurate, even when machines underpay.
- Improved Auditability & Fraud Detection
By clearly separating Short Pays from regular cash transactions, venues gain a more precise breakdown of payouts.
This improves audit trails, supports fraud detection, and simplifies end-of-day reconciliation, making compliance and oversight much easier.
- Fewer Manual Errors
Automating the tracking and input of Short Pay amounts reduces the need for manual notes or workaround entries, which are prone to mistakes.
This means cleaner reporting, more accurate totals, and less back-and-forth during reviews.
Fixes & Maintenance: A More Reliable System
Backend upgrades further improve platform stability and speed, ensuring the system is ready during busy trading hours.
Cash management becomes more robust, with smoother daily operations and cleaner data flows, critical in fast-paced hospitality environments.
Scenario C: Streamline reconciliation
- Position: Front of house staff
- Situation: End-of-day audits take 45 minutes because staff log CRT under-payouts by hand.
- Action: Short Pay Tracking automatically flags each discrepancy, records expected vs actual amounts and rolls them into the final report.
- Outcome: Reconciliation time drops to under 10 minutes, with clear audit trails and no missing entries.
