Attendance and payroll for hotels, restaurants and cinemas

Split shifts, weekend peaks, staff who work six days one week and four the next. Timeion pairs the punches correctly and pays daily-wage and monthly staff from the same run.

What goes wrong today

The three problems we hear from hotels & restaurants

01

Four punches a day

Lunch service, a break, dinner service. A system that expects one in and one out counts the afternoon break as a missed punch.

02

Daily wages, monthly staff, one kitchen

Casual staff on daily rates work beside salaried cooks; two pay methods, one register, errors every week.

03

The weekend is the shift

Weekly offs fall on Tuesdays, festivals mean double shifts, and overtime is paid in cash from the till.

A typical day

One day at a hotel, counted correctly

Every row is a different rule. Timeion counts each one by its own shift — including the ones that cross midnight.

FAQ

Questions from hotels & restaurants

Can a split shift be counted as one working day?
Yes. Both halves are defined on the shift, the four punches are paired in order, and the day is one record with the break excluded from hours.
Can daily-wage and salaried staff be on the same payroll?
Yes. Each employee has their own structure — daily rate or monthly salary — and both are paid from the same attendance in the same run.
We have three outlets. One account?
Yes. Each outlet is a branch with its own roster and reports, and one consolidated payroll.
What about staff who close at 1 AM?
A late shift that crosses midnight is paired as one shift on its start date, so the closing team's day is counted once and correctly.
