Upgrade to Espresso

Leave, near-the-shop check-in, managers, and BasilBook.

  1. Open Shop settings → Plan

    From Today, open Shop settings and hit Upgrade in the Plan card.

  2. Pick monthly or yearly

    $19.99 a month, or $199 a year — about 17% cheaper. The first 14 days are free either way.

  3. Tie check-in to the shop

    In Shop settings, turn on Shop WiFi only — there's a button that fills in the network you're on — or Near the shop only, which draws a circle around the place, 100 m across by default.

  4. Turn on one phone per person

    Everyone checks in and out on their own phone. It's what stops one person clocking in for the whole table — buddy punching, if you've heard it called that.

  5. Try NFC check-in (optional)

    Swap the scan for a one-second tap on an NFC sticker. Tags cost about a dollar and take half a minute to write with a free app.

    Set up NFC check-in
  6. Promote a manager

    Open their profile and change their role to manager. Managers handle leave and see everybody's hours — two of them on Espresso.

  7. Connect BasilBook

    Shop settings → API keys → Make a key. Copy it — you only see it once — and paste it into BasilBook to send your hours through to the accounts.
