Restaurants & cafés
The kitchen is busy. The timesheet should not need you.
Front of house, back of house, a closing crew and someone who came in to cover — all in one day, none of it written down until you sit down at 11pm. WeERM records it as it happens instead.
A normal day
- 6:40amPrep cook arrives, taps Start Work on their phone at the back door. The punch is stamped inside your worksite fence.
- 11:55amLunch server takes their meal break. It is recorded as its own entry with a start and an end — not a deduction you have to justify later.
- 4:10pmDinner shift starts. You glance at one screen to see who is actually on the clock and who has not shown up.
- 11:20pmClosing crew clocks out. The daily overtime past 8 hours is already calculated, including the split-shift day.
What usually goes wrong, and what happens instead
The meal break nobody wrote down
In California the break record is what the dispute turns on. WeERM stores each meal and rest break as its own start and end time, so a short or missing break shows up on the timesheet while you can still do something about it.
Someone forgot to clock out at close
An open shift is flagged rather than left running all night, and a manager can close it with the real time. The correction is logged with who made it — which is exactly what an auditor asks.
Two locations, one owner
Each site gets its own fence. Staff assigned to both can clock in at either, and reports can be run per site or across everything.
Time-off requests by text message at midnight
Requests go through the app to the right approver, balances update automatically, and the team calendar shows who is off before you write next week rota.
Which plan fits
Most single-location restaurants fit Standard: two worksites, leave with approvals, payroll summaries and report export. Lite works if you only need the clock and the timesheet. Take Premium when you want a shared tablet at the door as a kiosk, or you have more than two sites.
