Time clock & timesheets

A time clock that knows who's really there.

Staff clock in from their own phone by scanning a code that only exists at the restaurant, and managers approve clean timesheets instead of fixing them at the end of the pay period.

What you get

Clock in from a phone at the restaurant, track breaks, and export approved timesheets.

  • 01Proof of presence, not just a button

    A clock station screen at the restaurant shows a rotating QR code. Staff scan it, or type the short code, for every clock in, break, and clock out.

  • 02A photo at clock-in, deleted after approval

    Clocking in takes a live camera photo so managers can confirm who arrived. Photos stay private and are permanently deleted when the timesheet is approved.

  • 03A shared tablet works too

    Trust a restaurant tablet as a clock station and staff signed in on it clock in with just the photo. Remove a trusted device any time it's lost or moved.

  • 04Timesheets ready for payroll

    Correct entries while the original punches stay in the audit history, approve each employee, lock the pay period, and export a CSV with hours, breaks, and exceptions.

Common questions

Good to know.

What stops someone clocking in for a friend?+

Each clock in needs the code on the restaurant's station, which keeps changing, plus a live photo of the person clocking in. Managers see the photo when they review the timesheet.

Does Barley run payroll?+

No. Barley exports approved timesheets as a CSV in the restaurant's time zone, ready for your payroll provider or accountant.

What happens to clock-in photos?+

They're only used to confirm who clocked in. Every photo in the approved period is permanently deleted when a manager approves those timesheets.
