Shift scheduling and team rotations: a practical method
Fixed, flexible, split and night shifts, three-shift rotations, minimum staffing and weekly rest: building a schedule that keeps attendance figures right.

Restaurant staff attendance: split shifts, late closing, extras
In a restaurant, a day rarely looks like 9 to 6: lunch service, a break, dinner service, closing after midnight, days off that rotate during the week. Tempo handles split days and late finishes, and counts the hours actually worked between the two services.
The split day, without manual calculation
A split shift (for example 11:00–15:00 then 18:30–23:30) expects four punches. Tempo forms the two pairs, ignores the break and compares each service with the planned shift: late return from the break, early departure, overrun at the end of the evening.
Late closing and overtime
A service that ends after midnight stays in the same working day. Overruns at the end of service become overtime according to the chosen rule, with approval if you wish.
Rotating days off and small teams
- A 7- or 14-day rotation moves the days off around
- The planner flags an empty cell on a shift that requires a minimum
- Extra staff can be added as employees with dates, then archived
Frequently asked questions
What if a waiter punches twice when resuming service?
Punches a few seconds apart count once. Two punches spaced apart (end of lunch, start of dinner) do form two pairs.
