Get your first restaurant clocking shifts in under 5 minutes. No installation, no training, no IT.
Generate a QR code for your restaurant in one click. Print it, laminate it, and stick it by the staff entrance, kitchen pass, or bar station. One restaurant per code, or one per zone if you want kitchen and front-of-house tracked separately.
Staff open the free Fresh QR app and scan the code at the start of their shift. The whole clock-in takes 3 seconds. Works on any iPhone or Android - no shared tablet, no terminal queue at shift change.
Open your dashboard from your phone or back office. See who's on shift right now, who's still on break, and who clocked out. Export weekly timesheets to Excel for payroll. Filter by venue, role, or date range.
Restaurant time tracking is harder than office attendance: split shifts, high turnover, busy kitchens, break disputes. Here's how Fresh QR solves the four problems that cost restaurants most.
Restaurants have notoriously high turnover. Training new staff on complicated time systems wastes precious time. Fresh QR requires zero training - employees download the free app and start clocking in immediately. No cards to issue, no codes to remember.
In busy kitchens, it's easy for one person to clock in for another. GPS verification ensures each employee is actually at the restaurant when they punch in. Photo verification option adds another layer of accountability.
Breakfast staff, lunch crew, dinner service, weekend warriors - restaurant schedules are complicated. Fresh QR handles any shift pattern: split shifts, doubles, overnight, irregular hours. Overtime is calculated automatically based on your rules.
Did they take a 15-minute break or 45 minutes? Set automatic break deduction rules based on shift length. Or require employees to clock out and back in for breaks. Either way, you have accurate records.
Fresh QR understands the unique challenges of food service: irregular shifts, split shifts, high employee turnover, and the need for speed. Here's how we help.
Restaurant staff work mornings, nights, weekends, and split shifts. Our time tracking app handles any schedule. Clock in for lunch service, clock out, return for dinner - we track it all accurately with automatic overtime calculation.
Set your break rules once (e.g., 30 minutes after 6 hours worked). Breaks are calculated and deducted automatically from timesheets. No more arguing about break times. Works for mandatory meal breaks and rest periods.
Ensure staff are clocking in at the restaurant, not from home or the parking lot. Every clock-in includes GPS coordinates. View locations on a map. Get alerts for suspicious clock-ins. Prevent time theft without being intrusive.
See who's currently on shift from your phone or computer. Know when the morning crew arrived, who's still on the floor, and who's clocked out. Perfect for managers overseeing multiple areas or locations.
Running a restaurant group or hotel chain? Manage unlimited locations from one account. Each venue has its own QR code. View reports by location. Compare labor costs across venues. Scale from one cafe to 50 restaurants.
Export timesheet reports to Excel with one click. Total hours, overtime, and tips tracking. Reports are ready for payroll processing or your accountant. Save hours of manual timesheet calculations every pay period.

After we introduced QR-based attendance tracking, we moved into the 21st century. The terminal with a personal chip or card can comfortably retire. I would particularly like to highlight the communication with the developer, who was really quick and professional at implementing even the individual requirements from our HR department. Great work 👍
The iFinancie.sk portal included us among the most popular attendance systems in Slovakia.

"At Adelle Davis, we have been using your software long-term and successfully, and I must say we are really very satisfied with it."
The Slovak diocese of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church also uses Fresh QR.
Traditional time clocks don't work in restaurants. They're slow, expensive, and break. Paper timesheets are inaccurate and waste management time. Fresh QR is built for the speed and flexibility hospitality demands.

Track housekeeping, front desk, restaurant, and maintenance staff from one system. Each department can have its own QR code. See real-time staffing levels across your property.
Small teams need simple solutions. One QR code at the shop, employees clock in on their phones. No hardware to maintain. Perfect for independent cafes and small chains.
About 3 seconds. Employee opens the app, scans the QR code, done. Much faster than biometric terminals where employees wait in line to scan fingerprints. Your staff can get back to customers immediately.
While rare today, you can designate a shared tablet or phone at the venue for clocking in. Employees can also clock in via NFC tag (tap their phone) or managers can add manual entries when needed.
You set the rules (e.g., deduct 30 min break if shift exceeds 6 hours). The system applies them automatically when calculating timesheets. You can also require employees to manually clock out for breaks if you prefer explicit tracking.
Yes! Employees can view their worked hours, upcoming shifts (if you use scheduling), vacation balance, and pay period totals in the mobile app. This reduces timesheet questions and disputes with management.
Employees can add their tip amounts when clocking out, or managers can enter tips later. Tips are included in timesheet exports for payroll. Track cash tips, credit card tips, and tip-outs.
Yes. Hotels typically print one QR code per department - housekeeping, front desk, F&B, maintenance. Each code has its own time tracking. Reports break down hours by department and shift, so you can analyze labor cost per cost center. Hotel chains can manage every property from one Fresh QR account.
Yes. The app caches a clock-in with GPS coordinates from the moment the phone last had signal, plus an offline timestamp. Even if the kitchen is in a deep basement, your staff can clock in and the data syncs the next time their phone reconnects - usually within minutes when they leave the building.
