Know when you will actually get home. Know what your paycheck should be. AfterShift is for restaurant back of house. Line, prep, dish, pastry, sous. The house already tracks its business. This is the record you keep on your phone. No account. No feed. Management does not get a login. SHIFTS Put the week on the board. Type it, talk it, or pick a photo of the schedule they taped in the office. Clock in when you walk in. 86 when you walk out. Five minutes past start, it pings you if you forgot to clock in. An hour past when you should have been out, it asks if you are still on the line. Clopens show the time between houses, and when you are actually home. MONEY Expected hours and expected gross for the period, from the shifts you recorded. Set a rate per kitchen. Set what you need to take home. Free keeps the last 30 days. YOU A private history of the hours, the money, and the turnarounds. Is this job still working? That answer is yours. AfterShift does not tell you to quit or stay. AFTERSHIFT FULL. $4.99 ONCE. No subscription. No ads. Nothing sold. Full unlocks: Is this job still working. Last eight weeks next to the eight weeks before them. Can I afford to take this off. What dropping one shift does to the paycheck. Check the paycheck. Hours and gross off the stub, compared to what you recorded. An income target. How many hours are still missing. The month on paper. Posted hours against actual, plus stays late, call-ins, cuts, and days off that moved. The whole history. Free keeps 30 days. Full keeps the record. Works without a network after you buy. Restore purchases if you get a new phone.
