The three-star riverside hotel site on Tay Street was visited overnight by Queen Victoria in 1848. For the last 20 years, it has been owned by the Anderson family. 

 

The 46-bedroom hotel is a popular fishing and golfing destination, with a bar restaurant, conservatory, function room and meeting room. It is near to numerous attractions such as the Perth Museum, Perth Theatre and the City Hall. The sale also includes the hotel basement, which is currently leased to a start-up called Perth Gin. 

 

Owner Eddie Anderson intends to retire and so wishes to sell the hotel. His wife and son also help to run it. 

 

Alistair Letham, director for selling agent Colliers International, said: “The Royal George Hotel has been an important and iconic business on the Perth hotel scene for centuries, and this continues to this day – even more so thanks to its superb location overlooking the River Tay and close to all the major venue and attractions in the city centre of Perth.

 

“The Royal George Hotel is an extremely well established and well-known hotel business and it produces good and regular profitability.”

The hotel industry employs a diverse mix of casual, temporary, agency, part time and full-time permanent staff in order to staff the hotel around the clock. If there was ever an industry which suffers from still using paper timesheets to record working hours, it is this one. 

 

Keeping track of shifts, especially on night shifts or other times when the manager isn’t around, is very difficult with high volumes of staff and timesheets. Employees regularly forget to hand in their timesheets and agency staff hand theirs straight to their agencies, meaning that sometimes the employer never even sees it to approve it. 

 

Purchasing a workplace management system from Time and Attendance Scotland will solve these authorisation issues. If staff have to clock in at the clocking terminal before entering and leaving, there will no longer be any ambiguity about working hours and no need to sort through hundreds of timesheets at the end of the week or month. 

 

Supervisors and managers can also check all of the timing data for their assigned team members easily within the software, which gets rid of squinting at bad handwriting, and also gets rid of the need to chase people up for handing them in late. 

 

Here at Time and Attendance Scotland we can offer two ways to clock in with our reliable clocking terminal: using a radio frequency “smart-card” or by using fingerprint biometrics. Please get in touch for more information!
