Clock in at the kitchen door
An NFC tag on the wall — the employee taps their phone and the shift starts. Staff who don’t carry a phone on shift use an employee card at a tablet.
By industry
Time clock for restaurants
Shifts that change every week, hourly staff and busy weekends — and the hours still reach payroll right.
What RayClock does for you
Shift schedule and swaps
Build the schedule from templates and publish it; employees see it in the app. They swap shifts with each other or pick up an open shift — with manager approval.
Nights, Shabbat and holidays
A shift that runs past midnight counts as one shift. Overtime and Shabbat and holiday rates are calculated automatically by law.
Who forgot to clock out
The manager is alerted to a punch left open or a day with no report, and fixes it with a reason that is kept in the log.
What a working day looks like
- Before the shiftThe employee checks in the app when they work this week and, if needed, asks a colleague to swap a shift.
- At the doorThey tap their phone on the NFC tag in the kitchen. The manager sees on the dashboard who has arrived and who hasn’t.
- At month-endHours, overtime, nights and Shabbat are already calculated. Review, lock the month and export to payroll.
Practical questions
Does the system calculate tips?
No. RayClock calculates working hours, overtime and Shabbat and holiday rates. Tips are handled outside the system or in payroll.
What about staff who don’t carry a phone on shift?
Each employee can get a personal NFC card and clock in with it at a kiosk — an NFC-capable Android tablet with an internet connection.
Staff turn over constantly. Do we pay for people who left?
No. You pay only for active employees. Someone who has left and is marked inactive is not counted.
Can someone work a split shift?
Yes. An employee can clock in and out several times a day, and hours are calculated across all of them. In the schedule, each employee gets one shift per day.
