Looking for a Deputy alternative for your venues?

Deputy is a well-established workforce platform used across many industries. Kaslu Work is newer and narrower: rostering and clock-in built only for hospitality groups, with each venue set up its own way. Here’s a straight comparison, including where Deputy is the better choice.

Where Deputy is the better fit.

If you need any of these today, Deputy will suit you better than Kaslu Work does right now.

  • Award interpretation for pay. Deputy calculates pay from modern awards and custom pay rules. Kaslu Work costs rosters under the Hospitality and Restaurant awards before you publish, but doesn’t calculate pay for a pay run.
  • Payroll and HR in one place. Deputy offers payroll, leave, onboarding and document management. Kaslu Work covers rostering, clock-in and timesheets only.
  • More than hospitality. Deputy is used in retail, healthcare, construction and more. If your business spans industries, one tool across all of it may matter more.
  • Where it stands. Kaslu Work has a waitlist, and the first pub group is being set up with the team.

Where Kaslu Work is different.

Kaslu Work is built around one idea: a hospitality group’s venues don’t all run the same way, and the software should let each one run its own way.

  • Every venue set up its own way. Trading hours, sections, rounding, wage budget and clock-in boundary are set per venue, and every venue sits in one account.
  • Rosters laid out by section. Bar, floor, kitchen, gaming and functions each get their own roster by the hour, so you can check every one before you publish.
  • Clock-ins held, not accepted automatically. A clock-in outside the venue’s boundary goes to a manager to review. Clock-ins with no signal are saved on the phone and sync later.
  • No passwords. Staff and managers sign in with a code we email them.
  • Rosters in the team’s WhatsApp group. Share a roster to the group chat staff already use.
Head office above three venues, each with its own trading hours, sections and clock-in boundary: a pub, a café and a function venue.

Who should look at Kaslu Work?

Groups with two or more venues that each run differently, who already have payroll software they’re happy with and want rostering and time records that fit each venue rather than one all-in-one system. If that’s you, join the waitlist and tell us about your venues.

Questions

Does Kaslu Work interpret awards like Deputy does?

For the roster, yes: it costs every rostered shift under the Hospitality (MA000009) and Restaurant (MA000119) awards, with weekend, evening, public holiday and casual rates, so you see the wage cost before you publish. For pay, no. Kaslu Work records the hours your staff actually work, and your payroll software applies the award and pays them.

Can I use Kaslu Work alongside my payroll software?

Yes, that’s how it’s meant to be used. Worked hours export to CSV today. Direct connections to Xero, MYOB and Employment Hero / KeyPay aren’t built yet.

When can we start using it?

Kaslu Work has a waitlist, and the first pub group is being set up with the team. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when there’s room for your venue.
