Servers, line cooks, hosts and dishwashers on one weekly view, scheduled by position so every station is covered before opening. Staff swap and pick up shifts from their phones, clock in at the back door with GPS and a selfie, and tips are recorded at clock-out.
What gets in the way
Cover requests, swaps and "who is closing tonight" get buried under memes. Managers rebuild the week from screenshots.
One person punches in three friends on the back-office computer, and nobody knows until payroll.
Provincial meal-break rules and daily overtime get applied by memory at the end of the pay period, if at all.
How Shift Terminal fits
Build the week in the Positions view so you can see at a glance that Friday has three servers, a bartender and two cooks. Save the week as a template and reuse it every week that looks the same. Open shifts can be offered to specific people first, and staff bid on the rest.
A server who needs Saturday off posts the shift for swap; a coworker accepts; the manager approves if your rules require it. Absences come with "get it covered" options so the shift moves to open or to a replacement without a phone call.
A GPS geofence around the restaurant blocks clock-ins from the parking lot or from home, and an optional selfie confirms who actually punched. Lock a tablet at the back as a kiosk with employee PINs so nobody needs their phone.
Set your break rules once (auto-deducted meals after a set number of hours, or clocked breaks) and the timesheet report prints the policy alongside the hours. Daily and weekly overtime follow your province’s preset, and tips are captured at clock-out.
Included
