Time Card

Overview

The Time Card screen shows a staff member's clock-in and clock-out history for the current session, including their recorded hours by job role. Staff use it to review their time records and clock out at the end of a shift. Managers can also view time card entries to verify hours.

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged in to the POS.
  • Time tracking must be enabled for your restaurant in back office.

Viewing Your Time Card

  1. Tap the Menu (≡) icon to open the side drawer.
  2. Go to Settings → Financials → Time Card.
  3. Your Time Card screen displays all clock-in and clock-out entries for your current session, organized by date and role.

Each entry shows:

  • The date and time of clock-in and clock-out
  • The job role worked during that entry
  • The total hours for each entry

Clocking Out

When your shift is complete:

  1. Navigate to the Time Card screen.
  2. Tap Clock Out at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Confirm the action.

Your clock-out time is recorded and the session time entry is closed. A clock-out receipt may print automatically, depending on your restaurant's settings.

Logging Out of the POS

From the Time Card screen, you can also log out of the POS entirely:

  1. Tap Log Out at the bottom of the screen.
  2. The POS returns to the PIN login screen.

Logging out ends your POS session. Any open checks assigned to your session remain open and can be accessed by a manager or after logging back in.

Troubleshooting

My clock-in entry is missing

Clock-in entries are recorded automatically when you select a job role at login (if the clock-in printing feature is enabled). If an entry is missing, contact a manager to verify the time records in the back office reporting.

Clock Out button is not appearing

If the Clock Out button is missing, your restaurant may not use POS-based time tracking, or the button may require a different navigation path. Contact your manager for the correct clock-out procedure at your location.

I accidentally logged out instead of clocking out

Logging out and clocking out are separate actions. Clocking out records your departure time for payroll purposes; logging out simply ends your POS session. If you logged out without clocking out, a manager can manually correct the time record in back office.
