Why this matters for restaurants & bars

A server's split shift, recorded
A server works lunch, goes home, and comes back for dinner. Each part is its own shift, and both count toward that day's hours.
| Shift | Clock in → clock out | Unpaid break | Paid hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lunch | 11:00 → 14:30 | — | 3.5 h |
| Dinner | 17:00 → 22:30 | 30 min | 5.0 h |
| Day total | Two shifts | 30 min | 8.5 h |
Three steps. No spreadsheets.
Workers clock in
Each worker gets a free login and clocks in and out from their own phone, or at a shared tablet kiosk with their PIN. Or skip that and log hours for them yourself. No hardware to buy.
Hours & pay calculate automatically
Hourvy subtracts breaks, applies your overtime rules, adds tips and bonuses, and shows exactly what each worker is owed.
You mark it paid
Pay however you already do (cash, transfer, check or your payroll provider), then log it so balances stay accurate. Export to Gusto, QuickBooks, Xero or ADP in one click.
Simple enough for anyone to use — no training required.
$1 per active seat / month
Each worker, each manager and you are one seat. No base fee, no per-location fee, every feature included. 30-day free trial, no card.

Time tracking for Restaurants & Bars: questions
Can servers clock in for lunch and again for dinner?
Yes. Workers can clock in and out as many times as they need in a day, and each shift is recorded separately. If you use daily overtime, all of a worker's shifts that day count toward it together.
Can servers and kitchen staff have different pay rates?
Yes. Every worker has an hourly rate. Switch on Roles & pay rates to create roles such as Server, Line cook and Bartender, each with a default rate, and give individual workers their own rate for a role. Someone with several roles picks one at clock-in, and Reports show hours and labor cost by role.
How does tip pooling work?
In a draft pay period, use Split pooled tips: enter the total, and Hourvy divides it between everyone with hours in that pay period, in proportion to the hours they worked, adding each share as a tip. The split always covers everyone in the pay period, so for a pool that only some staff share, add tips to those workers individually.
Can we use one tablet by the kitchen door instead of phones?
Yes. Switch on the kiosk and any tablet becomes a shared time clock: staff tap their name and enter a PIN. It can take a photo at every clock-in and clock-out, and the Kiosk only setting turns off phone clock-in completely.
How is overtime worked out for someone on two rates?
Hourvy calculates overtime automatically from your daily and weekly thresholds. For workers who earn more than one rate in a week, you choose the weighted-average regular rate method used under the US FLSA, or the rate of the hours worked. The dashboard's Overtime watch shows who is close to overtime this week.
Can Hourvy check that double shifts include a break?
Yes. Switch on break and rest rules to set a minimum break for long shifts and a minimum rest between shifts. Shifts that miss the break get a badge on Time Logs, planned shifts with too little rest are flagged on the schedule before you publish, and Hourvy never changes pay.
Is there really no monthly base fee or minimum charge?
Zero base fees, zero minimums. You pay only for active seats: each worker, each manager and you, the owner. A team of 4 workers plus you is 5 seats, so $5 a month. No setup, admin or cancellation fees.
What counts as a seat for billing?
A seat is every active person on your account: each active worker, each manager and the owner. You're billed for the most seats you had during the month, so someone active for 1 day or all 30 costs the same flat seat price for that month. It's based on their active status, not how many shifts they logged.
What happens when my 30-day free trial ends?
Because we don't ask for a credit card to start your trial, you'll never be charged automatically. Near the end of your 30 days we'll remind you to add a payment method if you want to keep using Hourvy. If you decide it's not for you, your account simply pauses. No cancellation calls needed.
