Built for the speed and unpredictability of hospitality

Hospitality operations involve split shifts, irregular weekend schedules, high staff turnover and intense labor inspection audits. Traditional paper sign-in sheets quickly become illegible or damaged by liquids in busy kitchens and bars.

Jornadapp provides high-speed QR and pin attendance stations that work on any kitchen tablet or smartphone, recording clock-ins in two seconds without delaying table service.

Key operational benefits

Split-shift support

Accurately record lunch and dinner service shifts with separate start and end timestamps.

Durable on-site kiosk

Mount an inexpensive tablet or QR badge behind the bar or in the kitchen.

Live floor visibility

See who is currently clocked in across front of house, kitchen and bar at a glance.

Audit-ready records

Instantly produce compliant timesheets during labor inspection checks.

Key hospitality scenarios addressed

  • Restaurants with split shifts needing separate recording for lunch and dinner periods.
  • Bars and nightclubs managing late-night hours, weekend overtime and night differentials.
  • Hotel chains with distributed reception, housekeeping, maintenance and dining staff.
  • Event catering companies deploying teams at temporary external venues.

How to get started

Frequently asked questions

Can a single tablet be used by the entire kitchen and dining room staff?

Yes. Kiosk mode allows staff to clock in sequentially with their personal PIN or by presenting their personalized QR code.

How does Jornadapp handle split shifts with several hours between lunch and dinner?

Employees simply clock out at the end of lunch service and clock in again for dinner. Both shifts are consolidated on the daily log.

Can we track overtime during busy weekend periods?

Yes. Any hours exceeding scheduled shift duration are flagged in real time for supervisor approval.
