Shiftelio

Shiftelio for Restaurants & Hospitality

Attendance that survives the kitchen.

Hardware-free selfie attendance, split shifts for double service, and flat pricing built for high-turnover teams, included in every plan.

Sound familiar?

  • The fingerprint scanner stopped reading greasy or wet fingers months ago
  • Lunch + dinner split shifts show up as half-day absences in generic apps
  • Staff turnover means paying onboarding fees or per-head charges every month
  • Salary advances live in a notebook and disputes happen at month end
  • Multiple outlets mean phoning each manager to know who actually showed up

What restaurants get

Selfie attendance, no hardware

GPS plus selfie check-in from the employee's own phone, geofenced to your outlet. Nothing to install at the counter, nothing for kitchen grease to destroy.

Split & rotating shifts

Lunch service, dinner service, weekly rotations. Assign shifts per employee per day and attendance is judged against the right shift, not a fixed 9-to-6.

Built for high turnover

A 5-step onboarding wizard gets a new hire into the system in minutes, and flat plan pricing means replacing staff never increases your bill.

Payroll from real attendance

Wages calculate automatically from verified attendance including overtime, with EPFO/ESIC-ready reports when you need them.

Salary advances & staff loans

Advances are recorded with an audit trail and deducted automatically from payroll, and the khata notebook retires.

Multi-outlet ready

A geofence per outlet, staff assigned per location, and one dashboard across all of them.

WhatsApp & Telegram workflows

Approve leave and see attendance alerts from WhatsApp or Telegram without opening the app mid-service.

Letters & documents

Offer letters, warnings, and experience certificates generated as branded A4 PDFs, useful when staff move on quickly.

What Shiftelio does not do for a restaurant

We are not a restaurant POS and we are not trying to be one. There is no billing or counter software, no KOT or table management, no inventory, recipe costing or wastage tracking, and no integration with Swiggy, Zomato or any other delivery or reservation platform. Nothing on this page will ring up a bill.

What we cover is the staff side: who turned up, which shift they worked, what they are owed, and the advances and letters that go with it. Most restaurants that use us run a POS alongside, and that is the intended arrangement rather than a compromise.

Restaurant owners ask us

Does Shiftelio work for restaurant staff attendance without biometric devices?

Yes. Staff clock in with GPS plus a selfie from their own phone, verified against a geofence around your restaurant. There is no fingerprint scanner to buy, which matters in kitchens where grease, flour, and wet hands make biometric devices unreliable.

Can Shiftelio handle rotating and split shifts for restaurant staff?

Yes. Assign different shifts per employee per day, including split shifts for lunch and dinner service. Staff working 11 AM-3 PM and 7-11 PM are tracked correctly instead of being misread as absent in between.

How does Shiftelio handle high staff turnover in hospitality?

Onboarding a new employee takes minutes through a 5-step wizard, and pricing is flat per plan. You are never charged per employee, so replacing staff mid-month costs nothing extra.

Can I manage salary advances for restaurant staff?

Yes. Loans and advances are tracked with a full audit trail and deducted automatically against payroll cycles. No more notebook entries for staff khata.

Does it work across multiple outlets?

Yes. Each outlet gets its own geofence, and staff can be assigned per location. The Growth plan covers 3 locations; the Business plan covers unlimited outlets.

Is the restaurant toolkit a paid add-on?

No. Everything here is included in every Shiftelio plan at no extra cost, starting at ₹999/year.

Lunch and dinner service is a rostering problem before it is an attendance one, so shift rosters and split shifts is the page to read next. If you are still choosing a vendor, we rank the field on the best attendance apps for restaurants in India, and we do not win every row of it.

Running several outlets makes it a multi-site attendance question, a front-of-house chain is closer to retail chain staff management, and where a kitchen porter has no usable phone, read attendance for staff without a smartphone.

Everything above is included from ₹999/year.
