How TurnoPro started
During his years running a hotel in Santander, Pablo Fernández saw how hard it was to get staff shifts right and how many hours it took. He even coded himself a very simple Android app just to cope.
Years later, by then a developer, he watched his partner build her hospitality team’s rotas in Excel. He remembered that old app and thought something similar, done properly and brought up to date, could save her a lot of time. He got straight to work: that is how TurnoPro was born.
