For small business owners
Attendance app for small shops
You don't need an enterprise workforce platform for a 4-person shop. Honest clock-ins tied to one phone and your own network — set up before your next shift.
You wear every hat
Attendance shouldn't be one more thing to keep an eye on. Set it up once; the checks run themselves.
No IT, no hardware
No terminals to buy, no biometrics to manage. Staff use the phones they already carry.
Free where it counts
Free forever for up to 10 active staff — most small shops never pay a thing.
Verified clock-ins, made for small shops
Every clock-in is tied to one phone and your shop's network — the same three checks behind stopping buddy punching. No biometrics, no face scans. Add shifts, leave and notifications when you need them.
Frequently asked
Is it really free?+
Yes — free forever for up to 10 active staff, and we don't ask for a card. Paid plans add one phone per person (device verification), shop WiFi only (IP restriction), leave and more.
Do staff need to install an app?+
On the free plan, yes: staff scan the QR code in the free DailyBrew app. On Espresso, no: they point their phone camera at the code and check in from the page that opens, with nothing to download, and an NFC tag works the same way because it holds the same web link. The app keeps them signed in and remembers the phone, which is why we still suggest it.
How does it stop buddy punching?+
Each clock-in is tied to a verified device and your shop's network. A punch from somebody else's phone, or from off your network, won't count — and nothing biometric is collected.
What if someone forgets their phone?+
A manager clocks them in from Today. It's saved with the manager's name, the time and the reason, so the day still adds up and nothing changes quietly.
