Extended Development Teams for Hospitality and Leisure

Recruitment and onboarding typically takes 2-3 weeks for pre-vetted developers. If you have immediate capacity gaps, we can often place available engineers from our existing pool within days. Your IT director and our delivery lead align on skill requirements, then we handle recruitment and background checks in parallel. For hospitality, we carry capacity for common roles like backend engineers and QA testers who know booking platforms, so turnaround is faster than hiring from scratch.

This is why extended teams stay with you month-to-month rather than project-to-project. Your developers build real ownership of your hospitality software. If someone leaves, we backfill the role, but the person who replaces them inherits months of context rather than starting cold. Knowledge of your PMS integrations, payment processor setup, and guest experience architecture stays in your team.

Both are possible. Most work standard UK/European hours so they're online during your standup and available for real-time collaboration. For genuine peaks (say, a major booking push before summer), you can negotiate extended hours or bring in additional support. The contract flexibility means you're only paying for hours you need, not subsidising idle capacity in low season.

Your engineering manager or tech lead manages work assignment and technical direction. We handle HR, payroll, benefits, and people performance. You own the backlog and priorities. This works because your team sets the standard your extended crew follows. For hospitality software projects, your CTO or IT director defines sprint goals, and the augmented team executes within your existing processes.

You choose the mix. Most hospitality software projects need both backend developers and QA testers, often with DevOps or BA support. You can staff a squad of three backend engineers, two QA specialists, and a DevOps person if that's what your booking system or guest experience platform needs. Adjust the composition each month as priorities shift.

Contracts are month-to-month, so you adjust headcount and roles at month-end. If a booking system feature launches and you need to pivot to guest experience platform work, you can shift developers between projects or reduce capacity. Unlike a 12-month outsourcing deal, you have flexibility to respond to how your business and your guests actually demand your attention.
