Speed of service is a labor problem. We solve the labor problem.
Drive-thru lines, peak-rush staffing, and ticket-time anxiety — Clockout puts the right people on the line at the right minute, then keeps the day moving on rails.
What we hear from quick service operators
Peak rushes blow labor every Friday
Schedules made on a Sunday do not survive a Friday surge. You either over-staff and lose margin or under-staff and lose guests.
No-shows kill ticket times
A missing 11am cashier turns into 4-minute drive-thru times. Fixing it from your phone takes 20 messages.
Brand-standard checklists go un-done
Mid-day reset, bathroom checks, fryer filtration. They live on a clipboard the GM forgets to look at.
How Clockout fits a quick service operation
Forecast-driven shift coverage
Schedule reads sales pattern + weather + day-part. Friday lunch gets the right line strength, automatically.
Sub-10-minute open-shift fills
No-show at 10:48? The right backup gets a tap, accepts, and is on the line by 11:04.
Brand-standard tasks across stores
HQ pushes one checklist. Every store runs it. Photo-required steps prove compliance, not a manager pencil-whipping a clipboard.
“We cut Friday lunch ticket times from 4:20 to 2:45 in a quarter. Most of it came from putting the right person on the line, not from yelling about the line.”
Questions from quick service operators
Yes. Toast, Square, Clover, Olo, and most concept-specific systems work out of the box.
Two to three weeks for a 10-store rollout, including brand-standard tasks and reporting.
Yes. Brand controls standard tasks; franchisees keep their own staffing and labor decisions.
Built for quick service. Worth a real trial.
