Busy kitchens deserve fair pay and fair rules. A biometric attendance system (also called a fingerprint attendance machine or time attendance system) records who arrived, and when, with their own finger or face. For restaurants and cafes, that means each person recorded by their own finger or face, and late starts are visible.
Key takeaways
- Each person recorded by their own finger or face
- Late starts are visible
- Pay matches the hours worked
- Qyvea supplies, installs and trains your team.

07Frequently asked questions
Can casual waiters be included?
Yes. Enrol them on their first shift and they appear in the same report.
Can it track part-time staff?
Yes. Part-time and casual staff are recorded like everyone else.
What about tips and service charge?
Attendance reports show hours. Tip and service-charge rules stay in your payroll.
How much does a time attendance terminal cost?
It depends on the terminal type, the number of staff and the software. See our biometrics page; we quote after a free survey.
Does it work in a power cut or without internet?
Yes. Terminals store punches and sync when power and network return. A small UPS covers short cuts.
Do staff need to be trained?
Enrolment takes about a minute per person, and we train HR and managers on the reports.
Fingerprint or face recognition: which is better?
Both are accurate on good terminals. Fingerprint suits most offices and is familiar. Face suits gloves, hygiene areas and fast flows. Many terminals offer both, plus cards as a backup.
