Clocking in

Locations & geofences

Add a site, drop a map pin, set the geofence radius staff must be inside to clock in, and set per-site coverage targets and labour budgets.

A location is one of your sites — a café, a venue, a let. Each one carries the map pin and geofence radius that the geofenced clock-in checks against, and optionally a coverage target and labour budget that feed the rota and cost views.

Adding a site

  1. 1

    Search the address

    Type the site address; the map jumps to it.

  2. 2

    Fine-tune the pin

    Drag the pin to the exact door — clock-in is measured from here.

  3. 3

    Set the radius

    Widen or tighten the circle. 75–150m suits most venues; wider for big or weak-signal sites.

A configured location: address, geofence radius, coverage target and daily labour budget — all set once and inherited by every clock-in at that site.

Coverage & budget

A site can also hold a coverage target (how many people you want on at given times) and a labour budget. The rota builder uses coverage to show under- and over-staffing, and the budget to show projected cost against the line — see Rota builder and Today & cost.
