Setting up your shop

From signing up to watching people clock in, in about ten minutes.

  1. Make your account

    Sign up with an email, or with Google or Apple. No card needed.

  2. Name your shop

    On the welcome screen, say you run the place and give your shop a name. We guess your timezone from your browser — check it, because everything hangs off it.

  3. Set your shifts

    Open Shifts and add Morning, Evening, or whatever you actually call them. Each one gets a start time, an end time, and a grace period before somebody counts as late.

  4. Add your staff

    Staff, then Add. Name, phone, start date, and a shift. Joining somebody to an account can wait — you can do it later from their profile.

  5. Join someone up to their account

    Open their profile, find the Link user card, and paste their staff code — they copy it from their own Profile screen. Once they're joined up they can sign in, see their own hours, ask for leave and check in. Undo it from the same card whenever you need to.

  6. Put your QR code up

    Your check-in code sits on the Today screen. Print it and pin it where your staff already walk past — one code for the whole shop.

  7. Watch the day fill in

    As people scan, Today updates: who's in, who came in late, who's on leave, who hasn't turned up.

  8. Handle leave and mark your closed days

    Requests land under Leave — approve or turn down each one. Add your closed days for the holidays so nobody gets marked absent on a day you were shut.
