Turnapp is an employee shift scheduling and time tracking software for restaurants, hotels, cooperatives, and businesses that replaces WhatsApp and Excel with a shared calendar, GPS/NFC time stamps, and one-click payroll exports.
What is Turnapp?
Turnapp is a cloud-based platform for planning work shifts, tracking attendance via smartphone geolocation or NFC badges, and managing absence requests. It takes employee contracts, shift templates, and live timestamps as input, and produces a shared weekly schedule, real-time presence dashboard, and Excel/CSV export ready for payroll consultants. The system runs on web (manager desktop) and mobile apps (employees), with setup averaging 10 minutes and a 30‑day free trial requiring no credit card.
Key Features
- Shift scheduling with drag‑and-drop – Create weekly calendars by dragging shifts onto a grid; duplicate weeks, apply recurring templates, and view coverage or overlaps instantly.
- GPS‑based time tracking – Employees clock in/out from the mobile app; Turnapp verifies location (geofence radius configurable) and timestamps the exact position.
- NFC/RFID badge clock‑in – For in‑sites, tap a physical badge to record attendance in real time; included in the Pro plan.
- Real‑time manager dashboard – See live headcount (e.g. 24 present, 18 shifts, 186 hours today), per‑employee status (timbrato, in arrivo), and a live timbratura feed.
- Automated absence and substitution management – Employees submit swap or leave requests via the app; managers approve or decline with a single tap; all requests are logged.
- Payroll‑ready export – Generate an Excel/CSV file with ordinary hours, overtime, and absences, formatted for the payroll consultant – stated to reduce month‑end closure time by ~85%.
- Multisite support – Manage multiple locations (up to 22+ sedi on the page) from one account; employees clock in at their assigned site.
- Intelligent scheduling algorithm – Automatically respect contract limits, hour constraints, and employee preferences when generating or adjusting shifts.
Who is it for?
- Restaurants and bars – Handle split shifts, weekend peaks, and last‑minute substitutions without group chats. Cover sala (waitstaff) and cucina (kitchen) in one view.
- Hotels – Coordinate reception and housekeeping teams across shifts; use GPS timestamps for housekeeping staff moving between floors or buildings.
- Cooperatives and service companies – Manage part‑time, flextime, or multi‑role workers with contract‑compliant scheduling and unified attendance records.
- Small to mid‑sized businesses (5–50+ employees) – Replace manual spreadsheets and paper timesheets with a single system that works for both in‑office and mobile teams.
What can you do with Turnapp?
- Publish a weekly shift schedule in minutes: Duplicate past weeks, apply templates, then publish with one tap – employees receive instant notifications on their phone.
- Clock in from anywhere with GPS verification: A waiter arriving at a restaurant taps “Entrata” in the app; Turnapp confirms the location (80m radius shown) and logs the time automatically.
- Track real‑time attendance and live headcount: The manager dashboard shows who is currently on shift, who has clocked in/out, and hours worked – all updated live.
- Export monthly payroll data in one click: After the month ends, generate a verified CSV of hours, overtime, and absences to send to the payroll consultant – no manual reconciliation required.
