Staff time clock
Each person gets an NFC tag. They tap it on a tablet by the door when they arrive and again when they leave. BakeryMS turns those taps into timesheets, compares hours with what was produced, and uses the real hours to work out labour cost per product.
Used at Bazaar Bakery in Riga, where we built BakeryMS.
Bazaar Bakery, August 2026. BakeryMS was built there; the founder co-owns Bazaar.
In most bakeries hours live on a sheet by the door or in someone’s memory. They get typed up once a month, and they never meet the production numbers.
A tablet, a tag per person, and a few minutes of setup.
From the employee list, open “Write NFC tag” on an Android phone or tablet and hold an NTAG215 tag to it. The tag carries a random code, not the person’s name.
Create a kiosk for a location in BakeryMS and open its one-time setup link on the tablet. From then on the tablet records taps for that location.
The first tap clocks in, the next clocks out. The screen shows the person’s name and the time. A double tap within a few seconds is not counted twice.
Shifts appear in timesheets straight away and feed the productivity and product margin reports.
See every shift per employee and location for any period. Print one A4 timesheet per person, or export a CSV for your accountant.
A shift still open the next morning is closed at the end of the day it started and marked for review. People you mark as night-shift workers are left alone.
Set a weekly schedule per employee. If someone has not clocked in by their start time plus a grace period, managers get a push notification — once per person per day.
The productivity report puts each person’s clocked hours next to what they recorded at the label printer: pieces and kilograms, per hour and per product. It shows the numbers; it does not score or rank people.
Give each person an hourly rate and a team. The product margins report spreads each team’s clocked hours over what it produced, so you see labour per piece and the margin after labour — from hours actually worked.
Employees with a login see their hours, schedule and shift history on their phone. If a time is wrong or a shift is missing, they send a correction and a manager approves it. Staff who only clock in need no login at all.
The time clock is simple, and it has a few requirements.
Tags are read in Chrome on an Android tablet or phone with NFC. iPads cannot be used as the kiosk. Writing tags also needs an Android device.
Each tap is recorded online. If the tablet loses its connection, staff need to tap again once it is back.
BakeryMS records hours and gives you timesheets. It does not calculate wages, taxes or payslips — that stays with your accountant or payroll software.
Labour per product needs hourly rates on each person and production recorded through labels. Without them you still get hours and timesheets.
An Android tablet with NFC and Chrome, mounted where staff come in, and one NTAG215 tag per person. Hardware is bought separately; we check what you have during onboarding.
The shift is closed automatically at the end of the day it started and flagged for review. The employee can send a correction with the right time from their phone, and a manager approves it.
Write a new tag for that person from the employee list. The new tag gets a new code, and the old one stops working.
No. It records hours and prints timesheets or exports them to CSV. Wages, taxes and payslips stay with your accountant or payroll software.
Yes, if they have a login. They see their hours, schedule and shift history on their phone and can request corrections. Staff who only clock in do not need a login.
The time clock is part of the full system: €149 per month for the first 12 months, €249 per month from month 13, and €490 one-time onboarding. No per-user or per-location fees. The tablet and tags are separate.
