Hospitality

Scheduling for restaurants and cafés,
correct hours.

Many part-time staff, evening shifts swapped the same day and seasons that swing. TapInn keeps track of who actually worked when, with roles and breaks in place, and makes the hours ready for payroll without anyone sitting with a spreadsheet.

In practice

Scheduling for restaurants and cafés, correct hours.

Before the shifts are published, the manager checks availability and absence, and every shift is labelled with a role — bartender, waiter or kitchen. Evening shifts that fall through go to the marketplace: an open shift takes effect right away, a direct offer is approved if you have turned that on. Breaks are recorded in the app, and the sessions are reviewed and approved before the payroll data is exported.

Availability and role on the shift

Staff report when they can work, and the manager sees availability and absence before the shifts are published. A shift can be labelled with a role, for example bartender or kitchen.

Shift marketplace for evening shifts

Someone calls in sick on Friday night. Post the evening shift to the marketplace and let a qualified colleague take it — the swap takes effect right away. No group chat to dig through.

Breaks and payroll data that add up

Breaks are recorded in the app during the shift. The manager reviews and approves the hours, and exports the payroll data as CSV with the columns you choose.

How it works

A Friday

  • Before the week is published, the manager checks availability and absence, labels the Friday shifts with a role — bartender, kitchen, waiter — and adds the breaks.
  • An evening shift falls through. It is posted to the marketplace, and when a qualified colleague takes it the swap takes effect right away. If it is offered directly to one person, that employee has to accept and the manager approve if you have turned that on.
  • Everyone taps in and out through the evening, and breaks are recorded in the same flow. After closing, the manager reviews the sessions and approves the payroll data for the period.

Honestly

When TapInn is a poor fit

If everyone works permanently at one address and hours never need approval, documentation or CSV payroll export, a simpler solution will do.

Questions and answers

Hospitality

What about staff who work at several of our sites?

An employee can tap in at every location you have set up. Sessions are tied to the site where they happened.

When does a shift swap take effect?

An open swap where a qualified colleague takes the shift takes effect right away. A direct offer takes effect after the employee accepts, and after manager approval if you have turned that on.

Can we use TapInn for hours only, without scheduling?

Yes. Scheduling, the shift marketplace and tasks are included, but you decide what you use.

Time tracking

Employees tap in when the shift starts and out when it ends, on their own phone. You get the sessions grouped per employee and period, review, approve and export. No paper, no spreadsheets, no chasing.

Open page Scheduling

Build the shifts in the portal and publish. Employees see their schedule in the app, add it to their phone calendar and swap shifts between themselves in the marketplace. Open swaps take effect right away; direct offers you approve only when you have turned that on. You see the same status they do.

You pay for the number of locations you track time at, not for each employee or each feature. Time tracking, geofencing, scheduling, tasks and payroll export are included in every plan.
