Time Clock & Scheduling for Restaurants and Cafés
Tame high turnover, split shifts, and multi-location rotas with a QR time clock that needs zero hardware.
Restaurants and cafés run on some of the highest staff turnover in any industry. Constant new hires, part-time crews, split shifts, and multiple locations make manual time tracking a losing battle. QRAY gives food-service operators a flexible QR code time clock and scheduling system that onboards new staff in minutes and runs on devices you already own.
Your Industry's Challenges, QRAY's Answers
Challenge
High Staff Turnover
Front- and back-of-house teams change constantly. Issuing badges or enrolling fingerprints for every new hire wastes time and money you do not get back when they leave.
With QRAY
Onboard New Staff in Minutes
Add a new team member in seconds — no badge to print, no fingerprint to enroll. When they leave, close the account. There is no per-person hardware cost either way.
Challenge
Split and Irregular Shifts
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late shifts change daily, and part-timers work different hours on different days. That complexity makes a paper rota nearly impossible to keep accurate.
With QRAY
Flexible Scheduling
Define part-time, full-time, rotating, and split shifts with calendar and bulk assignment, automatic conflict checks, and rotation support — so the rota matches how restaurants actually run.
Challenge
Multiple Locations
Chains and franchises juggle dozens of sites and hundreds of staff at once, with a constant need for central oversight and per-location reporting.
With QRAY
Every Location, One Dashboard
Manage all your sites from a single panel, each with its own kiosk and schedule, and filter reports by location.
Challenge
Buddy Punching
In a busy service, clocking in for a friend is common — and it quietly inflates labor costs and creates payroll disputes.
With QRAY
Dynamic QR Security
A QR code that rotates every 25 seconds by default (adjustable), plus GPS verification on fixed-QR and button clock-ins, makes buddy punching impossible — no fake clock-ins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our team is ready to answer your questions over WhatsApp and email.
Is clocking in by phone hygienic in a kitchen?
Yes. Staff scan the QR code with their own phone and never touch the kiosk screen — it is fully contactless. The kiosk can also sit at the entrance or in the back office.
Does it work for part-time staff?
Absolutely. QRAY’s flexible scheduling supports part-time, full-time, and rotating models, with different hours on different days.
