Shiftora is the all-in-one attendance and workforce management app built for retail stores, restaurants, salons, and any business with hourly or shift-based employees. REAL-TIME ATTENDANCE DASHBOARD See who is present, late, or absent right now — from every store, at a glance. Attendance records update instantly and sync across all devices. FACE RECOGNITION CHECK-IN Employees check in and out in under 2 seconds using face recognition — no cards, no PINs to remember, no buddy punching. InspireFace AI runs fully on-device for fast, privacy-respecting detection. A PIN fallback is always available. SMART SHIFT SCHEDULING Create reusable shift templates (Morning, Evening, Night), set recurring schedules by day of week or month, and assign them to individual employees or groups. Overrides let you handle one-off changes without touching the template. ATTENDANCE REPORTS & EXPORTS Generate daily, weekly, or monthly attendance reports per store or employee. Export to PDF or share directly from the app — ready for HR reviews or compliance. MULTI-STORE MANAGEMENT Run multiple locations from a single admin dashboard. Each store has its own employee roster, attendance log, and reports. Managers see only their assigned store. PAYROLL HOURS SUMMARY View total worked hours per employee for any pay period — broken down by store and date range. Export directly for payroll processing. No spreadsheets required. TEAM CHAT & ANNOUNCEMENTS Managers can send announcements or messages to their store team directly in the app. Full moderation tools (report message, report user, block) keep conversations professional. LOCATION-AWARE STORES Assign GPS coordinates to each store. The app can verify employees are on-site before recording a check-in. EMPLOYEE PROFILES Store employee photos, position, group, hire date, date of birth, phone number, and assigned stores in one place. Role-based access (Admin, Manager, Employee) ensures each person sees only what they need. SECURE & PRIVACY-FIRST • Face embeddings are encrypted and stored securely — never shared with third parties. • Explicit biometric consent is collected from every employee before enrollment. • Employees can request account and data deletion at any time. • Full GDPR and US biometric law (BIPA/CCPA/Texas) compliance. DESIGNED FOR BUSINESS OWNERS Shiftora is built for owners and managers who don't have time to learn complicated HR software. Set up your organization in minutes, enroll your team, and start tracking attendance the same day. —— WHAT YOU GET • Employees per store • Real-time attendance dashboard • Face recognition + PIN check-in • Shift templates & recurring schedules • Attendance reports & payroll hours export (PDF) • Multi-store management • Team chat & announcements with moderation • Role-based access (Admin / Manager / Employee) • Push notifications for check-ins and alerts • Secure cloud sync via Supabase —— SUPPORT & PRIVACY Privacy Policy: https://shiftora.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://shiftora.app/terms Support: texassoftwarehub@gmail.com
