A time clock your café or restaurant actually needs

Built for how hospitality really runs
High churn, casual rosters and NZ break rules make hospitality one of the hardest places to get hours right. Here’s how Clockie handles the parts that usually go wrong.
Staff clock in for each other
A shared tablet with PIN entry and on-device face matching means the person clocking in is the person who’s actually there — no more covering for a mate who’s running late.
Rest and meal breaks are hard to track
Clockie applies NZ statutory rest and meal breaks automatically, so breaks are recorded consistently and your timesheets reflect the hours actually worked.
Timesheets get chased at 11pm on payday
Every clock-in becomes a payroll-ready timesheet that pushes straight to Xero and Crystal Payroll — no manual entry, no texts asking “what time did you finish?”
Wi-Fi drops out mid-service
Clock-ins save on the device and sync when you’re back online. A dodgy connection in the basement prep kitchen never loses a shift.
Everything on one tablet
Install Clockie on any iPad by the pass and you have everything a venue needs to run time and attendance.
Shared-tablet kiosk
One tablet, the whole team. Staff clock in and out in seconds with a PIN, face or photo.
Verification built in
PIN, on-device face matching and photo capture — dial up the strictness until you trust every shift.
Offline-first
Kitchens and cellars kill Wi-Fi. Clockie keeps working and syncs automatically when it’s back.
Automatic NZ breaks
Rest and meal breaks applied to the timesheet so paid hours are right, consistently.
Straight to payroll
Approved hours flow to Xero and Crystal Payroll, with formatted CSV for the rest.
Sign in suppliers & contractors
Turn on visitor sign-in for deliveries, maintenance and auditors — with an evacuation muster if you ever need it.
Who it’s for
If you roster casual and part-time staff around service, Clockie fits.
Common questions
Does Clockie handle casual and part-time hospitality staff?
Yes. Staff clock in on a shared tablet with a PIN or face check, so it works well for casual and part-time teams with changing rosters. Hours are captured per shift and flow to payroll for correct holiday-pay treatment.
Can it track rest and meal breaks?
Yes. Clockie applies NZ statutory rest and meal breaks automatically so your timesheets reflect the hours actually worked, which helps keep pay accurate and compliant.
Will it work if the Wi-Fi drops during service?
Yes. Clockie is offline-first — clock-ins are saved on the device and sync automatically once connectivity returns, so a flaky connection in the kitchen never loses a shift.
How much does it cost for a small café?
Clockie starts at $29 NZD/month (excl GST) including 5 staff, then $2 per extra staff. A single venue is covered; extra locations are $10/month each.
Does it stop staff clocking in for each other?
It’s designed to. On a shared tablet you can require a PIN plus on-device face matching against an enrolled photo, which makes buddy punching far harder than a paper sheet or a shared login.
