One person, several of your venues

Hospitality staff move between sites, and most systems make that a mess of duplicate accounts. Here it's one person with one login, rostered wherever you need them — and their hours always land against the venue where the shift was actually worked.

  • One account, many venues, no duplicates
  • Group-wide clash detection when you roster
  • Per-venue break rules, per-person pay rates

Managers see their venue. You see all of them.

A duty manager runs their own floor and approves their own team's requests. Owners get every venue at once, and an audit trail showing exactly who changed whose hours, and when.

  • Per-venue manager access, group-wide owner view
  • Every change to anyone's hours is recorded
  • Payroll per venue, or the whole group at once

The floor live tonight. Timesheets and payroll on Monday.

The floor, live

Who's in, who's late, who's still on their break, and what the shift is costing you right now — the kind of thing you currently work out by walking the room and doing sums in your head.

  • Lateness measured against the rota, not a guess
  • Force a clock-out when someone forgets
  • Call staff in when you're short — first to accept gets it

Your night doesn't end at midnight. Neither does ours.

Generic workforce tools cut the day at 00:00, because that's what a calendar does. So a bar shift from 18:00 to 03:00 gets sliced in two, lands in the wrong week — and someone spends Sunday fixing it by hand.

ClockIn Dock runs on a trading day: 07:00 to 07:00. A shift belongs to the night it started. A small idea that removes an entire recurring argument.

It is built for UK hospitality and nothing else. Priced in pounds, and the rota flags the bank holiday and the weekend the clocks change before you build the week over them.

A calendar tool splits this shift at the red line and pays half of it next week. ClockIn Dock keeps it whole — one shift, one night, one pay week.

That's about 10× the subscription — every month.

We are not going to pretend every one of those minutes comes back, and no software makes people perfect. But when the phone is in the locker rather than the apron pocket, the temptation is not there — and you only need a fraction of that number to cover the cost several times over.

In every plan

  • Rota builder with auto-fill and clash checks
  • Live rotas on every staff phone
  • Attendance, breaks and timesheets
  • Holiday requests and shift swaps
  • Multi-site owner view and per-venue managers

  • Privacy notice and DPIA for your files
  • Unlimited staff — you are never charged per head

Staff use the phones they already carry, iPhone or Android. Nothing for them to buy, and nothing for you to install beyond the chip or locker we bring. Location is read at clock-in and while a shift is running; background location is never requested, except on iPhone from app version 1.7.0 at venues where you switch on the leaving check, and then only while someone is clocked in.
