Frequently Asked Questions
"How quickly can we get started with The Chef's Clock?"
You can be live within 15 minutes. Create an account, invite your team, and start tracking time immediately via the mobile app. If you also want to schedule, you can then set up your first week schedule.
"Can I use The Chef's Clock for time tracking only?"
Yes. You don't need the scheduler to use The Chef's Clock. Staff can easily clock in and out via the mobile app, giving you direct visibility over worked hours. You can enable additional features like automated scheduling whenever you're ready.
"Do employees need to download an app from the App Store?"
No, The Chef's Clock is a modern Progressive Web App (PWA). Staff simply open a link on their smartphone and can add it to their home screen. It works immediately like a regular app, without downloads from the App Store or Google Play.
"Does the planner handle kitchen and front-of-house stations and qualifications?"
Yes! You can assign team members to specific stations (e.g., grill, prep, pass, bar, service). The automated planner accounts for qualifications and required staffing, clearly highlighting open shifts or bottlenecks — while you always retain full flexibility to manually assign or adjust shifts.
"Does the planner check rest times and contract hours?"
Yes. The system automatically highlights bottlenecks regarding statutory rest periods and contractual minimum and maximum hours. You receive clear visual warnings, while manual adjustments remain fully possible.
