Arcus was made for one situation: a hotel that plans tomorrow from memory and a spreadsheet, and only finds out what a day of staff cost when payroll arrives. If that sounds familiar, this page is for you.
Here is how it works. You tell us what is true for your hotel, we show you what Arcus would change, and you decide whether it is worth a closer look. What you tick stays in your browser.
Tick everything that is true today.
None of these? Then Arcus may not be for you, and that is fine. The briefing above stays free.
Tick a few things above and these will match your hotel. Until then, here they all are.
What if, by this afternoon, your duty manager could open tomorrow's full-day brief, written from your own bookings: morning, afternoon and evening, and who works which shift?
What if next week's rota arrived as a draft, built from your team, the departments each person covers and your forecasts, so you only adjust it?
What if you saw what each shift is expected to cost before it starts, while the rota can still change?
What if every department worked from the same full-day brief, and you got an email the moment it was ready?
What if you could drop in your PMS export or spreadsheet exactly as it is, of any length, and see every total and every column Arcus read before anything is saved?
What if each property kept its own bookings, staff and briefs, and you switched between them in one place?
Run a real full-day brief yourself. It uses a sample hotel, clearly marked as an example, needs no account and takes a couple of minutes.
And once Arcus plans your own days, measure it: log what really happened after each shift, and Arcus shows how close each brief came.
Only you know these numbers. Type your own estimates; nothing you type leaves this page.
