Kaamhai, a next-generation workforce hiring and management platform, made a significant mark at the recently held NRAI- National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) Bangalore Chapter event. As industry leaders gathered to address key operational challenges on (date and Venue), Kaamhai emerged as a transformative solution designed to streamline how hospitality businesses hire, manage, and retain skilled workers.
Addressing a Critical Industry Pain Point
India’s unorganised sector contributes 50% of the GDP and employs 80% of the workforce, yet there is no structured process or system for hiring and managing unorganised sector workforce. In an industry plagued by high attrition, unreliable hiring channels, and lack of verified candidates, Kaamhai aims to modernise and formalize workforce acquisition. Traditionally, restaurant and hotel owners have relied on word-of-mouth, local agents, or informal job groups — approaches that often result in mismatched hires and operational inefficiencies. Kaamhai disrupts this outdated system with a digital-first approach that offers both employers and job seekers a structured and transparent platform.
Kaamhai: Redefining Workforce Management
More than just a hiring tool, Kaamhai delivers an integrated workforce management solution that addresses the core challenges faced by hospitality establishments:
- Verified Hiring: Businesses gain access to a curated pool of identity-verified, skilled workers, drastically minimising recruitment risks. In today’s digital age, hiring verified candidates is not just a preference—it’s a necessity. Kaamhai’s tech-driven verification process includes ID checks, skill validations, and work history tracking, giving employers the confidence to make informed hiring decisions. This drastically reduces the chances of fraud or absenteeism, especially in critical front-end roles, ensuring a dependable and professional workforce from day one.
- Reduced Attrition: Intelligent matching ensures the right fit, improving retention and lowering operational disruptions. High employee turnover has long plagued the hospitality industry. Kaamhai uses AI-based algorithms to match workers with employers based on skill sets, experience, and job preferences. This smart matching process enhances job satisfaction and employer-employee alignment, reducing attrition rates by up to 40%. For businesses, this means fewer disruptions, reduced training costs, and more consistent service delivery—essential for maintaining brand reputation and customer loyalty.
- Streamlined Operations: From contracts to payments and leave tracking etc, all workforce processes are managed through a single, easy-to-use interface. Time-consuming manual processes are now a thing of the past. Kaamhai’s intuitive dashboard lets employers manage everything on a single screen. Built-in scheduling tools and payment integration ensure smooth shift planning and timely worker compensation, eliminating confusion and errors. The result: leaner operations, better time management, and enhanced transparency, allowing business owners to focus on customer experience rather than workforce logistics.
- Regulatory Compliance: The platform ensures documentation and tracking processes are in place, helping businesses. With increasing scrutiny from labour departments and evolving workforce regulations, compliance is no longer optional. Kaamhai automates essential documentation like worker IDs, contracts, and payment records. This not only protects businesses from legal liabilities but also empowers workers with formal employment benefits—turning informal hiring into a structured, rights-driven employment process. It’s a win-win for both employers and the workforce, supporting sustainable and ethical growth.
Job seekers in the unorganised sector also benefit, gaining a professional space to highlight their skills and employment history—boosting visibility and access to better opportunities.
Beyond Hospitality: Empowering India’s Micro Enterprises
While the spotlight at NRAI Bangalore was on the hospitality segment, Kaamhai’s potential extends far beyond. Micro and small enterprises across retail, construction, logistics, and other labour-intensive industries face similar workforce issues. Kaamhai’s scalable, affordable, and user-friendly platform offers these businesses a long-overdue upgrade in how they hire and manage their teams.
The enthusiastic response from NRAI members and hospitality entrepreneurs confirmed the platform’s relevance and timeliness. Several business owners expressed keen interest in onboarding Kaamhai, citing an urgent need for structured and reliable hiring solutions in a post-pandemic, tech-enabled market.
As Kaamhai prepares for wider rollout, its mission remains clear: to build a trusted ecosystem that connects businesses with a verified, skilled workforce, driving efficiency, reducing instability, and supporting growth across India’s vast informal economy. “With technology as our backbone, we aim to empower small businesses and workers alike,” said Founder Antony Sebastian, “Our vision is to make workforce hiring and managing seamless, reliable, and dignified for the unorganised Sector.”
The Future of Hiring is Here
As India’s service sectors continue to evolve, solutions like Kaamhai are poised to become indispensable. The platform plans to partner with more industry associations, expand into new geographies, and continue creating impact by bridging the gap between demand and talent.
