Restaurant shifts, breaks and labor cost

Staff clock in on the mobile time clock, approved hours become payroll-ready hours, and you can start a 14-day trial.

Frequently asked questions

Can shift staff clock in from their own phones?

Yes. Staff clock in and out from a phone browser. A punch made without signal is saved on the phone and sent once they are back online.

Can staff share one tablet to clock in?

Yes. Pair a tablet as a shared time clock at the door, and each person punches in with their own PIN.

Can I build the schedule in the same app?

Yes. Draft the week, see its estimated labor cost and publish it when it’s ready. Staff see their published shifts in their app.

How do approved hours get to payroll?

Approve timesheets and time off in one place, then export approved hours in a payroll-ready file for the payroll provider you already use.

Where does PunchOutPayroll stop?

It covers everything up to payroll submission. You run payroll with the provider you already use.
