The whole region in one run
The system fills every branch in the region together. Alternatives sit side by side, branch by branch; an unfilled shift says which branch it belongs to.
For chains and multi-branch businesses
Every branch, every region, one plan.
Café, restaurant or retail chain: the rota, clock-ins, the till and the payroll file work the same way in every branch. Look at one branch, one region or the whole business from a single screen.

Planning
One region, one week.
The region manager builds every branch's week in one go. People are placed wherever they are needed that day.

1 2 A shared staff pool
Everyone has a home branch and works at another one in the region when needed. Leave, advances and timesheets belong to the person, not split by branch.
3 No one in two places
Someone on shift at another branch shows as busy for those hours. They cannot be booked at a second branch at the same time.
4 Demand sets the headcount
Sales and past weeks show how many people each branch needs, hour by hour.
On the floor
Who came, what got done: with proof.
The same clock-in and the same proof in every branch. No card readers, no turnstiles.
- ▦
A rotating QR
The branch tablet shows a QR code that keeps changing; staff scan it with their own phone.
- ◎
An NFC tag
A tap on the tag by the door is enough.
- ⌁
The branch's network or location
A scan only counts from the branch's network or inside its boundary. A photo of the tag taken at home is no use.
- #
A PIN for staff without a phone
A personal PIN on the tablet. If the internet drops, the record is kept and sent when it comes back.
- ▶
Photo or video
Opening and closing items and tasks close with a photo or a short, silent video.
- ↻
Check rounds
Toilets, stockroom, cold room: the code at the spot is scanned on schedule, with a photo if you ask for one. A missed round shows.
Till and labour
Every branch's till closes every night.
Takings, labour cost and till differences branch by branch, with region and business totals.
End-of-day till
Sales, the Z report, the count and the card channels are matched that evening. If there is a difference, the day does not close until it is explained.
Labour against takings
Each branch's weekly labour cost and its share of sales. A week that will go over budget warns you before it is published.
Branch, region, business
Read the same figures for one branch, a region or the whole business.
People ops
From leave to payroll, one rule in every branch.
Requests come in on the phone, decisions go on record, the file is ready when the period ends.
☼ Leave
Requested on the phone, approved by the manager. Busy days can be closed to leave.
⇆ Swaps and hand-overs
Someone who can't make it hands the shift to eligible colleagues or swaps it; the rules are checked again for both.
! Lateness records
Repeated lateness becomes a written record. The employee writes their statement on the phone, and the decision goes on file.
✓ Timesheet sign-off
Before the period closes, everyone sees their own hours and approves or objects.
⇣ The payroll file
When the period closes, the file comes out in the format your accountant's payroll program expects.
₊ Advances
Staff ask for an advance on the phone, the manager approves, and the record stays with the person.
♢ Tips
Tips are not counted as takings; they are shared out to people, and everyone sees their own share.
¶ Shift logbook
The closing shift leaves a note, the next day's opening reads it. It stays in the log until someone resolves it.
Roles and structure
Who sees what is your call.
Branches belong to regions, people belong to groups. Every permission holds in one branch, one region or the whole business.
Inside the business
Groups, regions, records
Your own groups
Bundle permissions into groups; a child group carries its parent's permissions too.
Region managers
A region manager sees and plans only the branches in their region.
Notices and consent
Staff read and accept the privacy texts in the app; which version they accepted, and when, is kept.
Franchise network
Head office and franchisees
Head office's view
Head office sees each franchisee's labour cost, takings, hours and open shifts side by side. Staff personal data stays with the franchisee.
Templates and announcements
Shift templates and announcements go out to the whole network at once, and you see who has received them.
Franchisees see where they stand
Each franchisee sees its position against the network median; no other franchisee's name or figure is ever shown.
