Clocking Out
End your shift cleanly with hours review and tip declaration.
How to Clock Out
Using the App
- Go to Time Clock from the dashboard or bottom nav
- Tap "Clock Out"
- Complete the clock-out checklist (see below)
- Confirm to finalize
Using Voice
Say: "Hey Maximus, clock me out"
You will still need to complete tip declaration on screen if required.
Clock-Out Checklist
Before your clock-out is recorded, the system may prompt you to:
- Declare tips (if applicable to your role)
- Close open tabs -- any tables or bar tabs still assigned to you
- Complete side work -- acknowledge assigned closing tasks
- Review hours -- confirm your shift summary is accurate
All checklist items must be addressed before clock-out completes.
Reviewing Your Hours
After tapping Clock Out, a shift summary appears:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Clock In | Time you started |
| Clock Out | Current time |
| Total Hours | Gross hours worked |
| Breaks | Break time deducted (meal breaks) |
| Net Hours | Paid hours after break deductions |
| Overtime | Any hours over your scheduled shift |
If something looks wrong, tap "Report Issue" to flag it for your manager.
Tip Declaration
Tipped employees must declare cash tips at clock-out:
- The app shows credit card tips already recorded
- Enter your cash tips received during the shift
- Review the total declared amount
- Tap Confirm
Tip Declaration Rules
- Declared tips are reported for tax purposes
- Your restaurant may have a minimum declaration threshold
- Tip pool contributions are calculated automatically
- You can view tip history in Payments > Tips
Manager Approval
Certain clock-out situations require manager authorization:
| Situation | Why Approval Is Needed |
|---|---|
| Early clock-out | Leaving before scheduled end time |
| Late clock-out | Clocking out well past scheduled end |
| Overtime | Shift exceeds scheduled hours significantly |
| Missed break | Required break was never taken |
How It Works
- You tap Clock Out
- The system detects the exception
- A notification is sent to the on-duty manager

If no manager is available, the clock-out is recorded pending review.
After Clocking Out
Once clocked out:
- You are logged out of active POS sessions
- Open tables are reassigned or flagged for the manager
- Your shift data is saved for payroll
- You can still view your shift summary in Time Clock > History
