Restaurants and cafes

Staff attendance for restaurants and cafes, from their phones

Morning and evening shifts, part-time and seasonal staff, a second branch across town. Your team checks in on their own phones and the server confirms they are at the restaurant. No card reader at the door.

Sounds familiar?

  • Shifts that change every week

    Openers, closers and weekend staff: who was meant to come in, and who did, gets lost in a group chat.

  • A reader for every branch

    Card and fingerprint systems need a device at each door, installation, and new cards when old ones go missing.

  • Finding out too late

    You learn that the opener is missing when customers are already waiting at the door.

How WorkIsHere helps

  • Shifts in the schedule

    Give each person their week: up to two shifts a day, late nights included, with exceptions for single dates.

  • Know who has not arrived

    Fifteen minutes after a shift starts, the person gets a reminder. At thirty, owners and managers are told who has not checked in. Both times can be changed.

    More about this feature
  • Every branch on one board

    Draw a circle around each branch. The live board shows who is in, branch by branch.

  • Part-time and seasonal staff

    A part-time person takes one seat. Pause seasonal staff when the season ends and your next invoice drops; their records stay.

A day at Moda Kafe

  1. 07:45

    The opener checks in

    Zeynep taps “I entered” at the door. The server measures her distance to the café and opens her session.

  2. 08:30

    Can has not arrived

    His shift started at 08:00. He got a reminder at 08:15, and now the owner is told too.

  3. 16:00

    The evening shift arrives

    Two part-timers check in for the evening. The live board shows everyone in the café.

  4. 23:40

    Closing

    The last one out taps “I’m leaving”. A forgotten check-out closes itself later and waits for review.

Questions

Do my staff need to install an app?

No. WorkIsHere works in the browser of any phone and can be added to the home screen. The iPhone and Android apps are coming soon.

What do part-time staff cost?

Each active person takes one seat, whatever hours they work: $1 a month per seat, and the first seat is free. Pause seasonal staff while they are not working.

Can I follow several branches?

Yes. Draw a circle for each branch. Staff check in at whichever one they are at, and you see them all on one board.

What if someone forgets to check out?

The session closes itself after 14 hours by default and is flagged for a manager to review and correct.
