Time tracking in hospitality
On the floor and in the kitchen, hours move with the service. The register notes what was worked, then goes to the social secretariat. It does not build the weekly rota.
Updated October 25, 2026
Services, split shifts, evenings
A day can start before service, break, and resume in the evening. The employee clocks in, breaks, resumes and clocks out. Break minutes accumulate on the entry. The time is the server’s, not that of a sheet signed at the end of the week.
Evenings and weekends appear as timestamps. Horodata does not calculate night, Sunday or public-holiday premiums. That calculation stays with the social secretariat, from the hours file.
What the phone covers
Clocking is done on a phone, as a web app that can sit on the home screen. Useful when the team has no fixed desk. Each person clocks on their own account.
A location can be requested on clock-in and clock-out, with consent, if the business turns it on. It is not a check on movement during service. The frame is the GDPR guide.
Payroll for variable hours
Extra shifts, students and part-time contracts produce different hours every month. The CSV of the last 90 days gives the secretariat a working base. Archive it at each close. You choose the period on export, up to five years.
Review services still left “open” before you send the file. Forgetting a clock-out is common when service ends late. The correction needs a reason and a manager. It does not rewrite history in silence.
What stays outside the product
No floor plan, no reservations, no till, no tips, no job descriptions. Several venues do not get a table per site: the account is one organisation and its employees. You can gather a team in it; Horodata does not split locations by itself.
What is covered is time worked, for payroll and for a control. The general frame is employee time tracking.
