Staff roles, PINs and time clock

Each staff member has a role and a 4-digit PIN. Owners choose who can void, discount or refund, the time clock only works at the restaurant, and every change is logged.

Team and control questions

Can one person work as a waiter and on the counter?

Yes. A person can have several roles and switch between them in the app.

How does the time clock know someone is at the restaurant?

Staff clock in on a device kept at the restaurant, on the restaurant’s Wi-Fi, or with a phone within 150 metres of the restaurant’s location.

What happens to our data if we leave?

The owner can download all of the account’s data, and deleting the account removes it.

Can we stop waiters giving discounts?

Yes. Voids, discounts and refunds are limited to the roles you allow, and every one of them is recorded with who did it and who approved it.

What is kept in the audit log?

Every price, role, PIN and settings change, and every void, discount and refund with its approver. Active sessions and auto-lock for each device are there too.

What happens if the internet drops during service?

Each screen keeps showing its last view, staff can still clock in and out with a PIN, and everything syncs automatically when the connection returns.
