Overview
Tanda is a rostering platform with native Xero integration that specialises in real-time award interpretation for Australian hospitality venues. With a 4.47/5 rating on the Xero marketplace, Tanda automatically calculates correct pay rates based on shift times and award conditions, making it particularly relevant for Pride’s compliance with the Hospitality Industry General Award (HIGA).
Key Facts
- Type: Rostering and award compliance platform
- Xero Marketplace rating: 4.47/5
- Primary function: Shift rostering with real-time award interpretation
- Integration: Native Xero integration
- Status: Alternative evaluation for Pride
Key Differentiator: Award Compliance
Tanda’s core strength is real-time award interpretation, which:
- Automatically calculates correct pay rates based on shift times, days, and break requirements
- Applies penalty rates and allowances according to award rules
- Ensures HIGA compliance without manual verification
- Reduces payroll processing errors related to award misinterpretation
- Provides audit-ready documentation of award compliance
Relevance for Pride
For a venue operating under the HIGA, Tanda eliminates manual award rate verification and reduces risk of underpayment or non-compliance. This is particularly valuable given Pride’s complex shift patterns (late nights, weekends, special events) that trigger multiple penalty rate provisions.
Evaluation Context
Tanda should be evaluated alongside KeyPay and RosterElf as part of the Deputy replacement analysis. Its particular strength is award compliance automation, which may justify evaluation despite potentially higher cost than budget alternatives like Microkeeper.
