gastromatic vs Skello

gastromatic

The captured pages promise a fully automated roster with displays of over- and under-capacity, so the system proposes a plan and flags coverage rather than just drawing a grid; we found no public information on templates, qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, work across multiple locations, or which demand figures feed the automatic plan.

Skello

Templates, positions and teams, and multi-site management are documented, and Smart Planner genuinely proposes a roster from constraints you set — daily amplitude, weekly rest days, overtime rules defaulting to the collective agreement, with priority rules down to preferring the lowest hourly rate. The demand side stays thin in public pages: staffing forecasts appear as a plan feature and a cash-register connection is claimed, but we found no public information on a named data source feeding the forecast, labour cost against budget while planning, or staff sharing across locations.

gastromatic

The Professional tier names individual time-recording and break rules plus surcharges, so breaks and surcharges are configured in the product rather than promised in a slogan; we found no public information on rest periods or maximum daily hours under the ArbZG, Minijob earnings limits, youth or maternity protection, or whether a violation blocks publication or only warns.

Skello

The planner is documented to respect named rules — daily amplitude, weekly rest days, an overtime system set from the collective agreement by default, regulatory alerts while scheduling, and overtime policies configurable per workplace agreement. We found no public information on checks for daily maximum hours or breaks, youth-protection limits, or whether a violated rule blocks publication or only warns.

gastromatic

A Mitarbeiter App ships in the Starter tier and carries 2000+ Bewertungen, Professional adds mobile time capture, and employees sign documents directly in the app — but we found no public information on marking availability, requesting shift swaps, claiming open shifts, push notifications of changes, or any language beyond German; from my phone, an app I can only read is not self-service.

Skello

There is a real employee app on iOS and Android: I can see my published schedule, enter availability, request leave and shift transfers, check my leave and hour counters, and clock in with my own PIN. But it stops at requests — we found no public information on push notification when the roster changes, interface languages, offline or shared-device use, or swap flows that resolve without a manager.

gastromatic

Individual rights models for teams with several planners and a stated deletion of customer data 80 days after the contract ends give a works council a starting point; we found no public information on hiding absence reasons from colleagues, an audit log of who viewed or changed an employee's data, configurable deletion periods for availability or absence records, or materials offered for works-council approval.

Skello

Permissions are genuinely configurable — eight named levels, managers seeing only strictly lower levels, sensitive employee data that can be restricted, read-only access for external accountants — and the privacy policy states retention periods and a no-sale commitment. We found no public information on whether badge geolocation can be switched off, an audit log of who viewed my data, configurable deletion periods, or documentation prepared for a works council.

gastromatic

Payroll preparation starts in the entry tier, Professional adds payroll interfaces, surcharges and exports for payroll and controlling, the pages name Personio, softgarden, Belonio and hotelkit via an open API, POS and booking systems are said to be connectable, and gastromatic runs its own integrated payroll add-on with free setup; we found no public information on a named external payroll system, a lock step before transmission, or documentation for the API.

Skello

The month-end path is documented: payroll variables calculated automatically into one report, the period locked with a padlock only a system administrator can open, plus an optional payroll service where partner accounting firms finalise payroll. No payroll system, POS or HR tool is ever named — connections to cash-register and payroll tools are generic — and we found no public information on a documented public API or wage-type mapping per surcharge.

gastromatic

The captured pages show a German company (vertical cloud solution GmbH, Darmstadt), data on Amazon Web Services servers in Frankfurt am Main with Google in Frankfurt as a primary storage option for planning features, and a privacy policy that names its processors and relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for US services such as Zoom, MailChimp and Facebook; we found no public information on the company's ownership, on the processors behind the app itself such as push notifications, or on a published certification.

Skello

The vendor is a French company with a DPO, but the captured pages give different signals on where my data sits: the legal notice names Webflow Inc of San Francisco as storing personal data under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, while the privacy policy only states a preference for EU/EEA subcontractors and leaves the AWS region unstated. We found no public information on EU hosting for the product itself or on safeguards for the US subprocessors named.

gastromatic

The packaging is described openly — Starter and Professional list their features and a module comparison is published — but we found no public price for any tier, no per-employee figure and no billing period; Enterprise reads "Preis auf Anfrage", and we found no public information on prices for add-ons such as automated scheduling, the documents creator or the payroll service.

Skello

Module prices are public — "Dès 20€ /mois par employé" for the payroll service, "Dès 40€ /mois" for recruitment, "Dès 20€ /mois" for RH Expert, plans at "Dès 99€ /mois" and "Dès 129€ /mois" with 10% off an annual commitment — but the "Dès" prices never say what they scale with, so a buyer cannot compute the annual invoice for a given headcount. We found no public information on VAT treatment, minimum term, how seasonal staff are counted, or tablet hardware pricing.
