What is Bustle Staffing - Clock in / out?
Bustle Clock In/Out lets your team start and finish shifts straight from the till - whether they use the till on the regular or not.
Bustle's Clock in/out functionality connects to your Bustle Shifts (roster/rota), and records your team's shift records, so that you always know:
Who’s meant to be on
Who actually showed up and at what time
What hours are heading to payroll
No paper trails - quick, clean, reliable time tracking.
What do I need to make this work?
Before you jump in, make sure:
✅ The Bustle Staffing add-on is switched on for your subscription
✅ Your staff are set up for using Shifts in Bustle
✅ You have Emoji Logins and clock in/out switched on
✅ A roster / rota is set up and published
✅ You’re on the latest version of the Bustle Till app on your iPad(s)
Clocking in
1. Head to the till
Head to the iPad and the Bustle Till - no emoji login needed.
Press the Shifts button on the Login screen
2. Find your name
Staff will see themselves in one of three spots:
Starting soon – your shift is about to kick off
Rostered today – you’re on today
Everyone else – not rostered, but can still jump in
Tap your name on the left to get going.
3. Clock in
Tap Clock in and you’re away.
Nice and simple - you'll get a quick inspirational message for a couple of seconds (tap to dismiss)
Then that's it - good to go. No need to touch anything else until the end of your shift.
Clocking Out
1. Tap Shifts again
Back to where it all began.
2. Find yourself under On shift (on the right)
Everyone currently working sits here.
Tap your name.
3. Add any unpaid break
Quick tap to add unpaid break time
Hit Save break
4. How was your shift?
Give it a quick emoji (required):
🫠 😐 😊
(We won’t judge 🧐.)
5. Add a note (optional)
Anything worth flagging for the manager e.g. forgot to log in when you got there? Something happen on shift? - pop it in here.
6. Hit Clock out
Done. Shift complete.
One last send-off ✨ - You’ll get another quick message as you wrap up.
Then it’s straight back to normal Bustle till goodness.
