Managing employee schedules and labor costs in the retail, hospitality, and food service industries has never been easier. TimeForge labor management solutions keep staff members in the loop and managers on the floor.
Our platform includes restaurant scheduling software, biometric time clocks for grocery stores, and sales forecasting and AI for sales-driven businesses. With our team messaging features, employees and supervisors are always on the same page.
With Earned: Same Day Pay by TimeForge, your team can access their hard-earned wages when they need them most. By providing early access to pay, you can increase employee satisfaction, reduce turnover, and attract top talent. It’s an easy way to show your employees that you value their work and their financial well-being.
The employee life cycle starts with a compelling job post, but it doesn’t end there. With TimeForge, you can design and publish job postings and track your applicants step-by-step. When it’s time to hire, instantly transfer applicant information into a new employee profile without any additional data entry.
Our Human Resources software makes it easy to collect onboarding and training documents from employees. Whether it’s an I-9 form or an attestation signature, you can be sure you’re getting everything you need from your staff. Because the files live securely in the cloud, nothing ever gets lost. Ever.
Tracking paid and unpaid breaks is a pain for restaurants and retailers, especially if you’re in a highly regulatory state like California. But it doesn’t have to be. Our software automates compliance and can enforce your staffing rules so you can avoid non-compliant situations from ever happening in the first place.
Every employee schedule created by TimeForge reduces labor costs and increases profits. Quickly and easily create schedules that meet your projected sales and labor targets while staying within your labor budget. Because schedules are cloud-based, employees can view their upcoming shifts anytime through our self-service portal.
Keeping track of employee hours and overtime doesn’t have to be a time-consuming chore. TimeForge makes it easy to track and edit attendance from one centralized dashboard. And with our secure login features, issues like buddy punching, long punches, and overtime are no longer a problem.
TimeForge’s Daily Log is actually three log books in one: a manager log, a staff log, and an audit log. Each log book has many advantages and serves an important purpose: keeping teams on the same page. Because log entries live online, they can be viewed anytime, anywhere, and can never be lost, damaged, or stolen.
The pandemic made it clear that businesses require easy tools for communicating important details with management and staff. TimeForge provides several efficient means for connecting with your workforce no matter where you are. We understand how important it is to get the message across.
When you have the right tools at your fingertips, you can spend less time in a back office and more time on the floor. Our labor management solutions come with hundreds of prebuilt reports to help you get your business where it needs to be. View your data in real-time or schedule reports to be sent daily, weekly, or monthly.
With our task management and team execution software, you can be sure those tasks big and small are getting done. Create custom checklists for anything that matters to your business, then get notified about completed and overdue tasks.
Whether you’re in an area with secure scheduling laws or just want to streamline your process, TimeForge’s forecasting engine is your answer. Forecast anything that matters to your business, including hourly sales in 15-minute increments – and at 98.87% accuracy!
Every feature we’ve listed so far is integrated into our smart mobile apps. Want to check your current sales across one or more locations? Easy with our manager app. Clock-ins, schedules, time cards, it’s all available in the palm of your hand.
Our time clocks do more than just allow staff to punch in or out. Employees can take breaks with the press of a finger, check their work schedule, view their time cards, and more. Because our clocks are “stateful”, they always know the status of your employees – whether currently clocked in, on break, etc.
A flat labor percentage can’t tell you how many people you need at 11:15 on a Friday. TimeForge turns forecasted sales and channel mix into required hours by role, then sends them straight to AutoSchedule. Tighten coverage around your real demand curve without thinning service when it matters most.
High turnover is expensive, but it can also earn you money. New hires answer a 90-second questionnaire during onboarding, and our tax credit specialists handle the paperwork from there. Each eligible employee is worth $1,200 to $9,600 in federal credits, often enough to cover the cost of TimeForge.
No two locations do the same amount of work, so they shouldn’t be staffed the same way. Build engineered labor models by store format and department, driven by whatever volume data you already track: sales, transactions, items, or traffic counts. TimeForge turns it into earned hours by position, interval by interval.
Recognition works best when it’s immediate and nobody has to remember to hand it out. Build challenges around the POS, scheduling, and attendance data you already collect, then let TimeForge crown the winners with live leaderboards, virtual badges, and rewards like gift cards or time-off credits. No spreadsheets required.
The best hire is often the one who lives ten minutes away. TimeForge promotes your open positions around the clock to job seekers in your area, with video introductions on both sides so nobody walks in cold. Post unlimited openings per location and chat with interested candidates right from the app.
By the time someone quits, it’s too late to ask why. Check in at 30, 60, and 90 days with ready-made question sets, or build your own pulse survey, 360, or onboarding review. You’ll spot the performance trends and the future leaders long before either one becomes obvious.
Training shouldn’t depend on whichever manager happens to be on shift. Build short, role-based courses with video, knowledge checks, and SCORM content, then let TimeForge assign them automatically and nudge anyone falling behind. You’ll know who’s ready for a station, and your records stay audit-ready.
Skip the duplicate data entry and let TimeForge sync your data for you. Our software supports seamless, real-time integration with popular payroll and point-of-sale platforms. You’ll not only save time, but you’ll avoid mistakes.
With 15+ years of experience, we’re the experts in labor management software. We’ll show you exactly how to optimize your labor so that your business can perform at its best every single day.
