Our own rostering and clock-in app for Australian hospitality. Managers build the roster in the browser, and staff clock in from their phone or the venue tablet.
- Built for
- Pubs, cafés and venues
- Platforms
- Web, and a staff phone app
- Stage
- Private beta
A roster gets built without knowing what it will cost under the award. Penalty rates, public holidays and super only show up when the pay run does.
Attendance is hard to prove. Paper sign-in sheets go missing, and phones lose signal in cellars and back rooms.
The roster costs itself
Wage cost sits on the roster as you build it, with penalty rates, super and each venue’s own public holidays.
Publishing checks the rules
Before a roster goes out it checks rest gaps, the 38-hour limit, meal breaks, a week’s notice and the two-hour casual minimum.
Clock-in inside the fence
Each venue draws its boundary on a map. A clock-in only counts inside it, and taps made without signal wait and send later.
A tablet by the door
Staff clock in on the venue tablet with the last four digits of their phone, a photo and the closing checklist.
Swaps and leave
Staff ask, and managers approve or decline with a note. Managers can see what was sent to each person and whether it arrived.
Called-out shifts
A manager can clock in someone who was called out, so the hours are still on record.
- The server decides
- The phone only proposes a clock-in. The database accepts, rejects or flags it in one step, and corrections are new rows, so a pay dispute always has the original.
- Offline is normal
- Taps queue on the device and send once, even with several tabs open on the venue tablet.
- One set of rules
- Costing, award rules and roster drafting live in one shared package used by the web and the phone, tested once.
- Each business walled off
- Separation between businesses is enforced in the database itself, not only in the app.
- Web
- Next.js and Tailwind
- Phone
- Expo and React Native
- Data
- Supabase, Postgres and PostGIS
A pilot group is lined up. Next come payroll export to Xero, sales forecasts and an assistant that explains the roster’s numbers.
