Restaurants
Time clock and scheduling for restaurants
Kitchen and front of house on one clock, meal breaks that are actually punched, split shifts that band correctly, and a schedule the crew sees on their phone.
What restaurants need from a time clock
Split shifts and doubles
A server who works lunch and dinner is two punch pairs, and the overtime rule has to see them as one day. 9forty5 bands the day pair by pair, so a double in California pays daily overtime correctly.
Kitchen versus front of house
Every punch records a department, so labor splits by kitchen, bar and floor without a second system.
Meal breaks nobody logs
Breaks are punches, unpaid or paid as your policy says, so the state's meal-break rule is checked against real data.
Schedules by text message
The week is built once, copied forward, and shown to every employee in the app.
The features that do the work
Time clock
A web and mobile time clock employees use to punch in and out from any device. Accurate timestamps, punch rounding, meal breaks and location capture. Free for up to 3 employees.
Shift scheduling
Build the week in minutes, copy it forward, plan unpaid meal breaks into each shift, and see scheduled versus actual hours by department. Employees see their schedule on their phone.
Overtime tracking
Track overtime under federal and state rules: weekly after 40, California daily and double time, Alaska, Colorado, Oregon manufacturing and 7th-day premiums. Presets included.
Payroll export
Export an approved pay period as an import-ready file for Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, ADP RUN, Paychex, Rippling, OnPay or a generic CSV, with regular, overtime, double time and PTO split out.
Compliance
The labor-law angle
Restaurants are the most-audited industry for wage and hour rules. Meal and rest break requirements in states like California, Washington, Oregon and New York, daily overtime, and tip-credit recordkeeping all depend on accurate punch records kept for years. 9forty5 keeps every punch, every edit and who made it.
Rules differ by state. See the state-by-state labor law guide for overtime, breaks and pay-frequency rules where you operate.
