gastromatic vs Skello

gastromatic

The pricing pages promise "vollständig automatisierte Dienstplanung" with displays of over- and under-capacity, so the system proposes the plan itself and shows me when a shift is short-staffed — the two things I need most on a Thursday night. But we found no public information on shift templates, qualification gating for till or kitchen roles, open shifts, or planning across locations, so I can only credit it partway.

Skello

Schedule templates I can save from filtered views and reapply across up to ten weeks, plus a Smart Planner that proposes schedules from named constraints (daily amplitude, weekly rest days, overtime defaults set from the collective agreement) and priority rules down to lowest hourly rate for equal skills. The staffing forecasts sit in the top tier with no named data source behind them, and we found no public information on labour cost shown against budget while planning or on sharing staff across locations.

gastromatic

The Professional tier names "Individuelle Zeiterfassungs- und Pausenregeln" and Zuschläge, so break rules and surcharges are configurable in the system rather than living only in my head. We found no public information on the eleven-hour rest period, the daily maximum, a Minijob earnings warning, youth protection or named Tarifvertrag rule sets, and nothing states whether any check appears before I publish rather than after the inspection.

Skello

Named constraints exist — daily amplitude, weekly rest days always on Sundays unless pre-positioned, overtime defaults taken from the collective agreement, plus regulatory alerts in the planning module and automated hour tracking that accounts for legal requirements. But we found no public information on break checks, on whether a violation blocks publication or only warns, or on surcharge rule sets, youth or maternity protection — the rest-period warning I want before publishing is named as an alert, not shown working.

gastromatic

Every tier ships a Mitarbeiter-App with 2000+ reviews, and Professional adds mobile Zeiterfassung plus documents signed directly in the app — so staff clock in and sign on their own device, well past a read-only PDF. We found no public information on availability entry, shift-swap requests, open-shift claiming, push notifications or language coverage, which is exactly what my Saturday-morning sick-call routine runs on.

Skello

The mobile app gives staff their published roster, availability and leave requests, shift-transfer requests, their own hour tracker and clock-in with a personal PIN and geolocation. We found no public information on employees claiming open shifts themselves, push notification of changes, offline clock-in handling or interface languages; swap requests are evidenced but resolution without a manager is not.

gastromatic

"Individuelle Rechtemodelle" when several people plan gives me configurable rights, and the privacy policy states concrete deletion — 80 days after trial end or contract termination, seven days for logfiles — plus an external data-protection officer and standard contractual clauses for third-country transfers. We found no public information on an audit log of who viewed an employee's data, on switching off location or monitoring functions, or on any documentation offered for works-council approval.

Skello

Permission levels are genuinely granular — managers see only strictly lower levels, same-level managers are isolated from each other, sensitive employee data can be restricted for schedulers, and retention periods are published (user data 3 years after contract end, client data 6 years). But geolocation at badge-in is presented with no statement that it can be switched off, and we found no public information on an audit log of who viewed or changed an individual's data, configurable deletion periods, or documentation offered for works-council approval.

gastromatic

Payroll is designed in rather than bolted on: Starter already includes Lohnvorbereitung, Professional adds Lohnschnittstellen with Zuschläge and exports for Lohn & Controlling plus "Kasse & Buchungsysteme anbindbar", and there is a fully integrated gastromatic Lohnabrechnung add-on with free setup and a named case worker. An open real-time API with named HR connections (Personio, softgarden, Belonio, hotelkit) covers the systems a shift business already runs; we found no public information on a lock step before transmission, DATEV or other named external payroll systems, or retro corrections after the close.

Skello

The payroll handoff is worked through — a week locks for payroll with a green padlock, all payroll variables consolidate into one exportable report with a note for the accountant, and partner accounting firms can finalize payroll from a connection set up in the product. No payroll system, POS or HR tool is named anywhere (only "your tools" and "caisse tools"), and we found no public information on wage-type mapping per surcharge, retro corrections after the close, or documented public API detail beyond a named time-clock API.

gastromatic

The legal notice names vertical cloud solution GmbH in Darmstadt (HRB 92563) as the contracting party and the privacy policy places storage on AWS in Frankfurt, with Google in Frankfurt as primary storage for the revenue-book and automated-scheduling functions — an EU entity with EU hosting. The independently sourced sovereignty attributes mark jurisdiction, ownership and data residency as unconfirmed, and the disclosed chain includes US providers such as Google Analytics with data going to US servers, MailChimp, Zoom and Facebook, with standard contractual clauses named as the safeguard; we found no public information on a complete product subprocessor list, push-notification processing or certifications.

Skello

The contracting entity is Skello SAS in Paris and the privacy policy states a preference for EU and EEA subprocessors, but the only hosting statement names Webflow, Inc. of San Francisco under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, and the caveat notes it may cover only the marketing site. The privacy policy gives no region for the product's own servers, and we found no published subprocessor list — for a system holding availability, absence and geolocated clock-in data, that is not something I can hand a works council.

gastromatic

The pricing page publishes what sits in Starter versus Professional and names the add-ons, which helps me see where the money goes — but we found no public price figure for any tier, and Enterprise is simply "Preis auf Anfrage". I cannot compute an annual invoice for my headcount from these pages; nothing states per-employee maths, the billing period, minimum seats or how seasonal staff are counted.

Skello

Prices are public — Duo Standard "Dès 99€ /mois", Duo Max "Dès 129€ /mois", with priced add-ons (Service de paie "Dès 20€ /mois par employé", Recrutement "Dès 40€ /mois", RH Expert "Dès 20€ /mois"), a 14-day trial and "10% de réduction avec un engagement annuel". The "Dès/from" basis is never explained — per establishment, per employee, or what minimum — and we found no public information on VAT treatment, minimum term or how seasonal and inactive staff are counted, so the real annual invoice cannot be computed from the public pages.
