Hospitality Skills Mapping and
Workforce Competency Tracking
Powered by AI
Map every team member's skills across your hotels, restaurants, pubs, and leisure venues through conversational AI. From food hygiene certifications to event management experience, know exactly what your workforce can do and where the gaps are.
Hospitality workforce challenges
Hotels, restaurants, pubs, and leisure venues face unique pressures when it comes to understanding, evidencing, and developing workforce skills across a fast-moving, multi-skilled team.
High turnover means starting from scratch
With staff leaving and joining constantly, you are always re-learning what your team can do. New starters bring skills and qualifications you never discover because there is no consistent way to capture them.
Compliance training gets duplicated
Without visibility of existing qualifications, you end up sending people on courses they have already completed. Food hygiene, allergen awareness, and first aid training budgets are wasted on duplication rather than genuine gaps.
No visibility across locations
Multi-site operators have no centralised view of skills across their venues. You cannot easily see which location has a surplus of trained first aiders or which is short on personal licence holders.
Map every team member's skills through a quick AI conversation
SkillDrill's conversational AI captures the full range of your team's capabilities, from food hygiene certificates and allergen awareness to event management experience, barista skills, and language proficiency. One natural conversation replaces clunky spreadsheets and paper forms.
- Capture front of house, kitchen, events, and maintenance skills in one conversation
- AI adapts questions to each person's role and experience level
- Uncover hidden skills that traditional onboarding forms miss entirely
- Quickly onboard new hires and seasonal workers with a 10-minute chat

Instantly see compliance gaps across your team

- Searchable compliance data across your entire workforce
- Visual dashboards showing qualification coverage by venue and role
- Stop wasting training budget on staff who already hold the qualification

Built for hospitality data security requirements
Your staff data deserves the highest standards of security and governance. SkillDrill is designed to meet those requirements from the ground up, so you can focus on running your venues.
GDPR compliant
Full UK GDPR compliance with clear data processing agreements, consent management, and subject access request support.
AES-256 encryption
All data encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM using per-tenant encryption keys. Data in transit protected with TLS 1.3.
UK data residency
All data stored on UK-based servers. Your staff data never leaves the United Kingdom.
Ethical AI policy
Transparent AI usage with a published ethical AI policy. No data is used to train AI models. Staff know exactly how AI is involved.
Role-based access
Granular permissions ensure managers can only access the data they need. Admins control who sees what across venues.
Multi-site data isolation
Each venue's data is logically separated with per-tenant encryption, so site managers only see their own team's information.
Direct people to the right resources
After each conversation, SkillDrill shows relevant training links, support contacts, or next steps based on what was discussed. Configure rules to match skills, keywords, or welfare concerns to the right resources.
Keep profiles fresh automatically
Set review intervals per question set. SkillDrill reminds people when a catch-up is due and carries forward their previous answers so they only update what has changed. New skills and qualifications are captured automatically.
Three steps to a complete hospitality skills map
From setup to actionable insights in days, not months. SkillDrill is designed to work at the pace hospitality businesses need.
Create your question sets
Define the competencies you want to assess. Create question sets for front of house, kitchen, events, or management roles. The AI generates conversational prompts from your questions automatically.
Staff complete AI conversations
Invite staff to have a natural, 10 to 15 minute conversation with the AI. It adapts to their answers, asks follow-up questions, and captures skills that forms and spreadsheets would never surface.
Visualise skills gaps and act
See your workforce skills mapped in interactive dashboards. Identify gaps by venue and role, find people with specific qualifications, and export data for compliance audits, training plans, or workforce reporting.
