Food Lover: Connecting attendance decisions to payroll control
An Odoo HR scope focused on the operating reality of food businesses: rotational shifts, attendance exceptions, leave and payroll calculations.
TDS + Odoo
Attendance → Payroll
Industry transformation case study
The client & the challenge
Start with the business.
Food Lover is a food and beverage reference in TDS’s client portfolio. The reviewed engagement focuses specifically on workforce administration and HR system support, rather than a full restaurant or manufacturing ERP redesign.
When schedules rotate and attendance exceptions affect pay, payroll depends on decisions made throughout the month. Food Lover’s requirements called for a clearer connection between employee contracts, working schedules, attendance records, leave and salary rules. The support scope also identified attendance-device integration and shift-related payroll calculations.

The TDS approach
TDS’s documented scope links HR master data and contract rules with attendance, time off and payslip processing. The support proposal includes biometric attendance integration, reporting across attendance statuses, rotational-shift definitions and role-specific KPI forms. The aim is to make the inputs to payroll explicit and reviewable.
Business value first
What the design makes possible
Explain the payroll result
A clear link between attendance, leave and salary rules gives HR a basis for explaining why a payslip includes a particular adjustment.
Manage rotational work consistently
Defined shifts and their payroll treatment reduce dependence on informal interpretations when employees work different schedules.
Protect the HR system investment
The engagement includes correcting existing issues, supporting users and maintaining customized workflows, recognizing that business value continues after initial implementation.
This case describes documented HR requirements and support scope. It does not claim a completed rollout of every enhancement, quantified payroll savings or a broader restaurant ERP implementation.
What makes this case special
Industry knowledge, expressed in the workflow.
This case demonstrates a focused transformation in a critical operating function. In food and beverage businesses, workforce control can be as important as stock or POS; TDS’s scope addresses the attendance-to-payroll connection directly.
