Rotas, clock-ins and worked hours in one system
Plan the week in Fiest and publish it to the team. Staff see their shifts, clock in and out, ask for days off and offer shifts to colleagues in the Fiest Team app, and you see the hours next to the day's sales.
A week in the Fiest Team app
The week lands on their phone
When you publish the week, everyone gets a notification and sees their own shifts, with the role for each one.
They clock in at the restaurant
Staff clock in from the app when the shift starts. If you ask for it, Fiest checks that the phone is at the restaurant.
Breaks are recorded too
Start break and End break sit on the same screen, so the hours come out right without anyone writing them down.
A shift they can't make goes to a colleague
Staff offer a shift to swap or give away, and the change takes effect when a manager approves it.
Their hours add up on their own
Everyone sees their worked hours for the week, and a manager corrects a missed clock-out with the change kept on record.
Plan the week in Fiest
The week planner shows the whole team day by day, with the time and role of every shift. Build the week as a draft, then publish it when it's ready.
- The whole week on one screen
- People down the side, days across the top, and Floor, Kitchen and Bar shifts each in their own colour.
- Open shifts
- Add a shift without a name on it, and the team sees that it still needs someone.
- Copy to next week, templates and bulk edits
- Copy a week that worked to the next one, start from a rota template for a normal week, or change several shifts at once.
- Drafts, then Publish week
- Plan in peace and publish when you're done. Changes after that reach the team straight away.
- Unpaid breaks
- Set the unpaid break for each shift, so the planned hours match the hours you pay for.
- Conflict checks
- Fiest flags a shift that overlaps another one or falls on a day someone can't work.
Clock in from their own phones
Fiest Team is the staff app for iPhone and Android. Clocking in, breaks and clocking out each take one tap, and no time clock goes on the wall.
Location check at clock-in
Turn on Require location at clock-in, and the phone has to be within the distance you set from the restaurant.
An NFC tag by the door
Put an NFC tag at the staff entrance, and staff clock in by holding their phone to it.
Works without a connection
A clock-in made without internet is saved on the phone and syncs to Fiest when the connection is back.
On the lock screen
On iPhone, the running shift shows on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island.
A reminder to clock out
If someone leaves the restaurant still clocked in, the app reminds them to clock out.
Days off and swaps without the group chat
Requests go through Fiest, so a manager approves them in one place and the rota stays up to date.
- Wishes and absences
- Staff mark the days they can't work or would like a shift, and can set availability that repeats every week. Set a deadline for requests, and approve them under Availability.
- Shift offers
- Swap a shift with a colleague or give it away. A manager approves the handover, and the rota updates.
- Notifications at the right time
- A published or changed week, a reminder before the shift at the time each person chooses, and a nudge when someone is still clocked in after it ends.
- Announcements to the team
- Tell the whole team about a new menu, a staff meeting or a busy weekend in one message.
Hours next to your sales
Shifts live in the same system as your till, so you see what a day took in hours against what it sold.
- Worked hours, ready to check
- Each person's clocked hours are collected day by day. Managers review and correct times, and every change is kept on record.
- Staffing beside covers and sales
- Compare the hours on the rota with covers and net sales, and get a warning when a week goes over the budget you set.
- AI staffing forecast
- Fiest AI forecasts how many people each hour needs from your own sales, so you build the rota around expected demand.
- Ask Fiest about the week
- Ask in plain language who is working tonight or how today's sales look. Ask Fiest to change a shift, and it waits for you to confirm.
Tasks for every shift
Link tasks to a shift, and the opening, service and closing routines show up for the people working it. Staff tick them off in the Fiest Team app.
See TasksEveryone sees what they need
Owners, admins and managers plan and approve. Staff see their own shifts, hours and tasks, and a bookkeeper gets read-only access.
