From hiring to payroll

The whole employee journey, in one system

Each step picks up where the last one ended: the new hire is scheduled, the hours worked are measured against the schedule, tips follow the hours, and everything reaches payroll without typing it twice.

  1. Forms New employees fill in and sign their onboarding forms on their phone. Details
  2. Schedule A rules engine builds a fair schedule that follows the law and your house rules. Details
  3. Attendance Clock in from the app or with an NFC tag, checked against the schedule. Details
  4. Tips Split automatically, and confirmed by employees in the app. Details
  5. Payroll Hours, overtime and tips go to payroll, after checks. Details

Onboarding forms

A new hire? Onboarding ends on their phone.

No more chasing paperwork. Onboarding forms reach the new employee automatically, they fill them in and sign in the app, and you get a signed PDF and a clear view of who is done.

  • Forms to fill in, documents to sign and procedures to read
  • Sent automatically when someone is hired, or once a year with a due date
  • Details already in the employee’s file are filled in for them
  • Upload an existing PDF form, and AI finds the fields to fill in
  • Pending, viewed, submitted, late: with reminders by app or email

Scheduling

And scheduling? That’s where we’re strongest.

EZShift’s rules engine builds a schedule that follows labor law, your house rules and your staff’s availability, and shares weekends, Friday nights and evenings fairly.

  • Availability, shift swaps and open shifts in the app
  • A fairness table that also looks at previous schedules
  • A reminder to each employee an hour before the shift

See all scheduling rules

  • Hard

    Up to 3 Saturday shifts in every 4 consecutive schedules

  • Flexible

    At least 1 evening shift per week for the Waiter position

  • Hard

    At least 11 hours of rest between shifts

Attendance

Know who is on shift before service starts

Attendance is connected to the schedule: see who has arrived, who is late and who hasn’t shown up, right next to the hours you planned.

  • Clock in from the app, an NFC tag, a biometric clock, an employee card or a computer
  • Limit clock-in by location, to the restaurant’s network, or to around a planned shift
  • Alerts for a no-show, a gap from the planned time, or a shift over 12 hours
  • Employees ask for clock corrections in the app, and the manager approves

Tips

Tips split right. Automatically.

Enter the night’s tips, and EZShift splits them by your house rules and by the hours each person actually worked. Every split is recorded, and every employee confirms it in the app.

  • By position, level and hours worked, pooled or individual
  • Cash and card, by register and group of shifts
  • Deductions, contributions, top-ups and bonuses, as you set them
  • Employees get a message in the app and confirm their hours and cash received

Payroll

Close the month. Payroll data is ready.

After review and approval, hours and tips go to your payroll system in the format it expects, so nobody types them again.

  • Export to leading payroll and attendance systems, in a file built for them
  • Regular hours, overtime by rate, tips and additions
  • Checks before every export: unlocked days, employees without a payroll ID, tip errors and open clock corrections
  • Approvals by manager level, and a full export history

Questions from restaurants

Which forms can I manage in EZShift?

Forms to fill in, documents to sign and procedures to read. Forms can go out automatically when someone is hired or once a year, details are filled in from the employee’s file, the employee signs on their phone, and a signed PDF is saved with the name, date and time.

How do employees clock in?

From the app, with an NFC tag, a biometric clock or an employee card, or from a computer. You can limit clock-in to a location, to the restaurant’s network, or to the time around a planned shift.

How are tips split?

By the rules you set: position, level and the hours actually worked, cash and card, pooled or individual tips. You can also set deductions, contributions, top-ups and bonuses.

How do employees confirm their tips?

Right after the split, each employee gets a message in the app and confirms their shift times and the cash received. The manager sees, for every employee, whether a confirmation was sent and whether it was confirmed.

Does the data go to payroll?

Yes. After review and approval, hours, overtime and tips are exported to your payroll system in the format it expects. Before every export, EZShift checks for unlocked days, employees without a payroll ID, tip errors and clock corrections not yet handled.
