Rota and clock-in for pubs, restaurants and hotels

Plan the week against your labour budget, let staff clock in on a tablet by the staff door, and get approved hours, breaks and holiday into payroll without a spreadsheet.

Free for up to 10 people, with every feature. Not a trial.

A week's rota in KiteClock with shifts and planned hours per day.

How it works

  1. Plan to budget

    Build the rota with planned hours and labour cost per day, then publish it to phones.

  2. Clock in at the door

    A kiosk by the staff door with personal PINs, or staff phones.

  3. Pay what was worked

    Approved hours with breaks and overtime, exported for payroll.

A rota that knows the cost

Labour cost per day uses your real pay rules, and you can set a weekly budget per site. Copy last week, use templates for busy and quiet weeks, and publish when it's ready.

Staff confirm their shifts or say they can't make it, pick up open shifts and ask to swap.

  • Labour cost and budgets
  • Templates and copying
  • Open shifts and swaps

Clock in by the staff door

A tablet becomes a kiosk: staff tap their name and their own PIN. Breaks start and end at the kiosk too.

Missed and short breaks are flagged on timesheets, and the rota warns about rest between late and early shifts.

Questions

Can staff clock in on a shared tablet?

Yes. A tablet by the staff door becomes a kiosk; each person uses their own 4-digit PIN.

Does the rota show labour cost?

Yes. Planned hours and labour cost per day use your pay rules, with an optional weekly budget per site.

How is holiday worked out for casual staff?

For irregular-hours staff, holiday builds up at 12.07% of the hours they work.

Can staff swap shifts themselves?

They can offer a swap or give a shift away; it goes to a manager to approve by default.
