What changes for hotel and restaurant teams.
Time and attendance tracking for hospitality businesses has a harder job than in most workplaces. Shifts split around service and run past midnight, and the same person might work the bar on Friday and the breakfast room on Sunday.
NCheck records every check-in by face recognition at the staff entrance, so each hour on the timesheet belongs to the person who worked it. A hotel and its restaurant can run as separate locations on one account, with the head office seeing both.
Split shifts, no spreadsheets
Split and overnight shifts tracked exactly, from breakfast service to the late close.

Peacock Ayurveda Garden runs NCheck for its resort teams.
Split shifts, overnight shifts and breaks.
Shifts are built once in work schedules and assigned to people or whole teams, and every check-in is measured against them.
| Situation | How NCheck handles it |
|---|---|
| Split shifts and breaks | Set the gap between services as a break, and scheduled and actual breaks are compared and deducted from worked hours (break hours, Standard and Premium). |
| Night shift past midnight | Recorded as a single shift from check-in to check-out. |
| Overtime | Overtime rules are set per shift and calculated in reports. |
| Late arrivals and no-shows | Check-ins compared with the schedule show who was late, who left early and which scheduled shifts had no check-in. |

Multi-property and multi-outlet attendance on one account.
Each property or outlet is set up as its own location, with its own schedules and check-in stations. Staff who work across outlets keep one identity, so their hours are recorded wherever they work and reported together.
Real-time attendance for hotel employees. With NCheck Cloud, check-ins sync to the dashboard once the station is online, so a duty manager can see who is in before service from any phone or computer.
New starters on day one
A new starter is enrolled from a photo at the staff entrance in a few minutes, and their biometric data can be deleted at the end of the season. Agency staff go into their own group, so their hours are reported separately and can be checked against the agency's invoice.
One check-in point is often enough
A wall-mounted Android tablet running the NCheck Admin app does the job (€95 one-time per device). Staff look at the camera on the way in and out, and on Standard and Premium, liveness detection stops anyone checking in with a photo of a colleague.
Contractors and suppliers on the same verified ledger.
Online pre-appointments and electronic passes, with visitor check-ins from €0.03 each on paid plans.

Frequently asked questions.
What does hospitality time and attendance software do?
It measures each check-in against the roster and turns the result into hours ready for payroll. In hospitality it also has to cope with split shifts, nights past midnight, breaks and staff moving between outlets, which is where general office tools tend to fall short.
Is a biometric attendance system for hotels hard to set up?
No. Peacock Ayurveda Garden signed up in a couple of minutes and runs NCheck on one wall-mounted Android device, with no other hardware. Larger properties add a station per staff entrance and set each outlet up as its own location.
Can it track absences as well as hours?
Yes. Check-ins are compared with each employee's schedule, so reports show late arrivals, early finishes and shifts nobody turned up for. Managers see gaps in cover from the same records payroll uses.
Will a busy staff entrance cope at shift change?
Face check-in takes under a second per person, and a site can run more than one station. For the busiest entrances, IP camera check-in on Standard and Premium can capture several faces at once.
Do staff need to use their own phones?
No. A shared tablet at the staff entrance covers most teams. Staff who work off-site, such as events or outside catering, can use the free NCheck Attend app on their own phone if you choose to allow it.
How do hours get to payroll?
Timesheets and reports export to Excel and CSV and connect to Tally ERP and QuickBooks Desktop, with other payroll systems reached through the REST API. There's more on biometric attendance for hotels and restaurants on the blog.
