Restaurant Staff Shifts and Attendance Records

Kitchen, service and cleaning staff are rostered by shift, and attendance is marked against that roster. Leave, overtime and advances are held against the same staff record.

The roster for a week

A restaurant runs on shifts. The roster is drawn before the week starts.

Shifts and sessions

Morning, afternoon break, evening and closing shifts are set with their timings. A split shift is allowed where that is how you work.

By role

Captains, stewards, cooks, helpers, dishwashers, housekeeping and delivery boys are rostered separately, since a thin evening in one role is felt immediately.

Weekly off

Each person’s off day is marked. The manager then sees how many hands remain on that day.

Changes

A swap agreed between two stewards is entered so the roster shows who actually came.

Marking attendance

Attendance can be marked on a screen by the manager, or read from a biometric or card device at the staff entry where one is installed. Which device suits your outlet is confirmed during scoping, and a link to it is quoted after the model is known. Late arrival, half day and absent are marked as your establishment counts them. Overtime hours go against the person. The shift they were worked in is saved with them.

What the record carries

Staff file

Name, role, joining date, phone number, address, identity document and the person who referred them, which matters in a trade where hiring runs on word of mouth.

Leave and absence

Leave applied and approved, and days absent without notice. Both are held month by month for the manager to read.

Advances

An advance taken against wages is noted with the date and the amount, and what remains to be recovered is visible.

Meals and accommodation

Where staff meals or a room are provided, these are noted against the person, because they often form part of what was agreed at hiring.

What this module stops short of

  • It does not run payroll or calculate wages for you
  • It does not state what leave or hours the law requires
  • It does not connect to a device until the make is confirmed
  • Service charge sharing among staff is worked out by you
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does it calculate salaries?

No. Attendance, overtime and advances are recorded, and the wage working stays with you or your accountant.

Will our fingerprint machine connect?

It may. Scoping checks the make and model of the machine, and the link is quoted once that is known.

Can delivery boys be rostered here?

Yes. They are a role like any other, with shifts, offs and attendance of their own.

Who can see a staff member’s advance?

Only the owner and the manager, unless you choose to open it further.
