Work-hour recording from a mobile app: a guide for hospitality

How to implement mobile clock-in at your restaurant. Legal requirements, key features and the best apps on the market.

Mobile clock-in has become the preferred option for modern restaurants. It allows employees to record their start and end times from their own device, with location verification and no need for additional hardware.

Is mobile clock-in legal?

Yes, the law does not specify the recording method, only that it must be reliable and tamper-proof. Mobile app clock-in with GPS verification fully meets these requirements, as long as the system ensures data integrity.

Key features of a clock-in app

  • One-tap clock-in from the mobile screen
  • GPS verification to confirm the employee's location
  • Geofencing: only allows clocking in within the restaurant's radius
  • Break and rest period recording
  • View assigned schedules and shifts
  • Request absences and holidays from the app
