FREE Hospitality Time Tracking

Hospitality runs on shift workers, whether that’s servers, front-desk staff, kitchen crews or housekeepers, and keeping track of who clocked in, when, and where is a constant headache for site managers. Jibble handles it automatically. Staff clock in from their phone or a shared kiosk, hours sync straight to their timesheet, and managers get a live view of who’s on the floor.

Buddy punching is a real problem in hotels and restaurants where shift handovers are rushed. Jibble eliminates it. Choose facial recognition, unique employee PINs, or RFID. Each option is fast enough for busy clock-in moments and accurate enough to catch time theft.

Enable GPS geofencing in Jibble’s settings and define the exact locations where staff can clock in — your restaurant floor, hotel reception, or catering venue. Once set, your team can only record attendance when they’re physically on site. No more clock-ins from the car park or around the corner.

Mount a tablet at the entrance to your kitchen, bar, or reception and let the whole team clock in from one shared device. Enable Speed Mode with facial recognition, and let staff clock in just by standing in front of the screen. No queues, no fuss at shift changeover.

Floor staff and delivery drivers use the mobile app. Office managers and schedulers switch to the web app or Chrome extension on a laptop. Your whole team works from the same platform, and all the data lands in the same timesheets regardless of which device they used.

Poor Wi-Fi in basements, kitchens, and event venues is no excuse for missing time entries. Jibble’s offline time tracking stores clock-ins locally when there’s no connection and syncs everything automatically once the device is back online. Ideal for outdoor events, off-site catering, or any venue with patchy coverage.

From one screen, see every staff member who’s currently clocked in across your venue — who’s on the floor, who’s on break, and who’s late. No more walking around to check. Jibble’s live dashboard gives you real-time visibility so you can keep service running smoothly without micromanaging.

Assign each person as Admin, Manager, or Member to match them to your actual hierarchy. Managers see and approve only their team’s hours. Members clock in and view their own records. You stay in control without clogging everyone’s access.

Set up meal breaks, short breaks, and custom durations for different schedules. Jibble enforces the schedule automatically so staff can only take breaks when you’ve allowed them, and break time is tracked separately from working time for accurate payroll.

Set weekly overtime thresholds and get alerted when a team member goes over. Jibble tracks overtime automatically and applies your custom rates, so you stay compliant with labour regulations and avoid surprise costs at the end of the pay period.

Create your own leave policies, set staff entitlements, and manage all requests inside the app. Managers approve or decline time-off requests from their phone and upcoming leave shows up automatically so you can plan rotas around it.

Get visual breakdowns of hours worked, labour costs, and team productivity so you can spot patterns early and make staffing decisions based on real data. Export reports as CSV or XLS files for your payroll provider or accountant.

Staff submit their timesheets and managers approve them all inside Jibble. No spreadsheets, no paper sign-offs, no chasing people down before payroll. Hours are synced to the cloud in real time, so when pay day comes, your data is already ready to export.

Set automatic push notifications to remind staff to clock in at the start of their shift and clock out when they leave. Custom reminders reduce missed entries and keep your time data clean, so you’re not guessing or manually adjusting timesheets at the end of the week.

Invite your team for free and have everyone clocked in on their first shift. Jibble’s setup is fast with no IT help needed. If you get stuck, live chat support is there to guide you through it.
