HR And Payroll Built For How Restaurants Actually Run
Split shifts, multiple outlets, and a workforce that turns over every season — Crew keeps attendance and payroll accurate across all of it, from a single dashboard.
Running attendance and payroll for one kitchen is hard.
Running it for fifteen outlets is a different problem.
Fragmented Outlet Punch-Ins: Biometrics at one outlet, paper registers at another, reconciled manually every month-end.
Split-Shift & Multi-Outlet Rostering: Staff working lunch at one outlet and dinner at another in the same week.
Late Marks & Overtime on Paper: Outlet managers note late arrivals and extra hours by hand, and payroll rebuilds them at month-end.
Multi-State Shops & Establishments Laws: Differing state rules on weekly offs, night shifts, and spread-over hours.
Unclear Service Charge Distribution: Table service charges that never turn into a clear, auditable payout for staff.
Stalled Multi-Outlet Exit Claims: Full & Final settlements delayed because staff worked across multiple outlets.
Split shifts, rotational rosters, every outlet
Build lunch-and-dinner split shifts, rotate staff across outlets, and see coverage gaps before they turn into a no-show on a Saturday night.
Ask Maya instead of checking every outlet’s register
Maya, Crew’s AI HR agent, answers attendance, leave and payroll questions for managers and staff, and turns a one-line note into a complete leave request.
Payroll that keeps up — including the service charge
Attendance from every outlet flows straight into payroll, so LOP, overtime, and earnings are calculated automatically instead of rebuilt by hand each month.
Service charge in India is voluntary, not a compulsory add-on — it has to be disclosed to customers and, when it's pooled, distributed to staff on a clear, defensible basis. Crew Payroll sets it up as its own earning head, calculated off the hours your staff actually logged in Crew Attendance at each outlet, so the payout stays auditable instead of being a lump sum handed out at month-end.
One payroll engine, every state's rules
A five-outlet chain across Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Delhi doesn't run under one rulebook. Shops & Establishments Act provisions on weekly holidays, spread-over hours, and night-shift work by women staff vary by state — and change. Crew Payroll keeps PT slabs, PF, ESI, bonus, and gratuity current for every outlet, in every state, automatically.

What is the best attendance app for restaurants in India?
Crew lets staff punch in on their phone with a selfie, only when they are inside a geo-fence around their outlet. Attendance flows into payroll with PF, ESI, PT and TDS, and payslips appear in the employee app.
Can staff mark attendance on their phone only at the outlet?
Yes. You draw a geo-fence around each outlet, and the Crew app only allows a check-in from inside it. Each check-in carries a selfie, the time and the location.
Can we manage several outlets on one account?
Yes. Every outlet gets its own geo-fence, and all of them share one attendance register and one payroll. This is included in both plans.
Can Crew plan shifts for kitchen and floor staff?
Yes. Crew Growth includes shifts and rosters, so you can plan who works which shift at each outlet and see late marks and overtime against it.
Can we give staff salary advances?
Yes. Loans, advances and reimbursements are recorded in Crew and deducted or paid automatically in payroll.
How much does Crew cost for 60 restaurant staff?
Crew Lite is ₹13,000 a year plus GST for 60 employees: ₹10,000 for the first 50 and ₹25 a month for each of the other 10. Crew Growth, with shifts and rosters, is ₹18,600.
