Rosters and clock-in for busy venues

Build the week's roster, put a tablet by the counter, and let staff ask for open shifts and swap on their phones. You see who's late before service starts.

Sound familiar?

  • Rosters in a group chat and last-minute swaps nobody wrote down
  • Staff clocking in for each other
  • Guessing who actually worked when payroll is due

With Vaultime

  • A kiosk at the counter. Staff tap their name and PIN on a tablet. No app needed on their phone.
  • Open shifts and swaps. Add a shift with nobody on it; staff ask for it and you choose who gets it. Approve cover and swaps in one place.
  • Late and no-show alerts. Know before service who hasn't clocked in for their shift.
  • Pay the roster. Pay rostered hours whatever the clock says, with late and early flagged to adjust.
An example

A week with Vaultime

Harbour Café has 6 staff. Priya rosters the week on Thursday and publishes it; the baristas clock in at a tablet by the coffee machine. When Maya can't make Saturday, she asks for cover on her phone, Leo says yes, and Priya approves it in one tap. On payday Priya exports the last pay period's approved hours to Excel.

Questions

Do staff need the app on their phone?

No. With a kiosk tablet they clock in with their name and a PIN or their badge. The app is optional, for seeing shifts and swapping.

Can I pay rostered hours instead of clocked time?

Yes. Choose clocked time, rostered hours, or clocked time less the rostered break.
