The time clock built for restaurants
Face-ID clock-in, labor-cost scheduling, and meal-break compliance — from one café to a franchise.
The timekeeping challenges you know too well
Restaurants run on thin margins and high turnover, where a few padded minutes and an unplanned overtime hour quietly eat the whole night’s profit.
- Labor is one of your largest controllable costs — but hard to see live during a shift.
- Buddy-punching and time theft inflate hours across a busy line.
- Split shifts, meal breaks, and state penalties are easy to get wrong at payroll.
- Overtime creeps in shift by shift, and nobody sees it until payroll.
How ClockAll helps
Labor-cost scheduling
See what each shift and each week costs as you build it, with overtime flagged before it happens rather than after.
Face-ID clock-in
Servers punch from their own phone with Face ID; the tablet by the pass runs a PIN kiosk for everyone else.
Meal-break compliance
Missed and short meal breaks flagged against your state’s rule, with California’s premium hour added automatically — so payroll is right the first time.
Overtime guardrails
See who’s approaching overtime while there’s still time to flex a shift — not after payroll runs.
Payroll-ready hours
Export tip-eligible, overtime-calculated hours to ADP, Gusto, Paychex or QuickBooks.
Multi-unit ready
Run every location from one dashboard with per-store manager access and reporting by site.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best time clock for a restaurant?
The best restaurant time clock stops buddy-punching, handles meal-break penalties automatically, and shows labor cost against the schedule before the week starts. ClockAll does all three, with Face-ID punching in the app and a PIN kiosk on any tablet.
How do I control labor cost in a restaurant?
Build the schedule against what it costs before the week starts, watch who is approaching overtime mid-week, and flex a shift before the premium locks in.
Does ClockAll handle tips and meal-break penalties?
ClockAll calculates overtime and meal/rest-break penalties by state and exports payroll-ready hours as a CSV you can import into ADP, Gusto, Paychex or QuickBooks. Tip declaration and tip pooling are on the roadmap, not in the product today.
Is ClockAll free for a small restaurant?
Yes — teams of 1–3 employees use ClockAll free forever. Paid plans start at $5.99/month for 4–5 employees.
