Restaurant time clock

Restaurant Time Clock Software for Busy Teams

Know who's on the floor, whether tonight's shifts are covered, and where overtime is heading. Staff punch in at a shared iPad in seconds, and managers see live attendance, breaks and call-offs from one dashboard.

The problems we hear most

Call-offs leave shifts uncovered

Record call-offs as they come in and see them against the schedule, so you can find coverage earlier.

Missing punches and guessed hours

A shared kiosk with employee PINs keeps every punch, break and lunch timestamped; corrections need manager approval.

Overtime you find out about on payroll day

Overtime minutes are tracked per shift, and punches past the scheduled end can be blocked unless overtime is allowed.

Why OnTimePunch

OnTimePunch connects employee clock-in (at a shared kiosk or on a phone), shift activity, schedules, time off and payroll-ready reports, so managers spend less time cleaning up hours before payroll.
