Shiftmate
Read full descriptionHide full description
Keep your team and daily business work in one place. Shiftmate helps cafés, restaurants, bakeries, shops and small shift-based teams manage schedules, attendance, leave requests and handover notes. ONE QR, AN UPDATED MENU Create a public branch page with an English and Arabic menu or service list, prices, opening hours and optional contact links. Save changes as drafts and publish when ready. The QR link stays the same when you update the menu. Customers open it in their browser. DIGITAL LOYALTY STAMPS Set a stamp target and bilingual reward terms. Customers join on the public page and keep a browser-based card with a recovery code. Authorized staff scan or enter the card code to issue stamps and redeem rewards. Existing cards keep their original reward terms. These are not Apple Wallet passes. REVIEWS AND PRIVATE FEEDBACK Share a QR link for honest Google reviews and a separate private feedback form. Managers can review and resolve feedback. The Google review link remains available regardless of the customer's rating; reviews do not earn stamps. OPENING AND CLOSING CHECKLISTS Create bilingual templates with selected weekdays and due times. A manager prepares today's checklists for the branch, and the team checks off steps and records handover notes. Preparation is manual, not an automatic nightly schedule. FOR YOUR WHOLE TEAM Plan and publish shifts, handle leave and shift changes, and track clock-ins, clock-outs and breaks. Use the same workplace account on iPhone and the web. Public customer pages support English and Arabic, including right-to-left display. The new business-tools interface supports English, Arabic and Turkish. Shiftmate is not a point-of-sale, payment-processing or payroll app. Businesses define and fulfil their own rewards. A network connection is required for these business tools. An optional monthly auto-renewable Shiftmate Team subscription is available. The price and plan details are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple account. Manage or cancel your subscription in Apple account settings; cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends to avoid renewal.

Work Hours Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Breta is a notebook for your jobs. Every job you take on lives in one place: what you agreed, when you are working, the photos you took, the hours you put in, the materials you used, and what you earned. Built for handymen, tradespeople and solo contractors who bill by the job and would rather be working than doing paperwork. WHAT A JOB HOLDS Give a job a customer, a price and the days you are on site, and it keeps everything else together for you: - Photos, taken several at a time without leaving the app, with captions and a cover shot - Videos of the work, before and after - Notes as the job moves - Hours, timed with a live timer you can watch from the Lock Screen - Materials, with quantities and units - An estimate, and a price breakdown with tax if you charge it YOUR DAY, WITHOUT THE DIARY The home screen shows what is on today, this week and this month, so you open the app and already know where you are going. The calendar marks every day that has work on it, and tapping a day tells you what is booked. Jobs that run over several days can carry different times on each day. CUSTOMERS YOU CAN REACH IN ONE TAP Call, message, email or navigate to a customer straight from their card. Addresses open in Google Maps if you have it, Apple Maps if you do not. Every customer keeps the history of the jobs you have done for them. KNOW WHAT YOU EARNED See completed jobs and revenue for the month at a glance, then open either one for the full picture: how it compares to last month, how it has moved over the last year, and what an average month looks like. Share a clean summary when you need to show someone. IT FITS HOW YOU ALREADY WORK - A home screen widget with your next job and a button that opens the route - A reminder each morning of what is on, and a nudge to close out a job you have finished - Sync across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud, in your own account - Add jobs to your device calendar if you want them alongside everything else - Back up and restore everything yourself, and import from Jobee Pro - Works in 37 languages, with your own currency and tax rate WHAT IT DOES NOT DO Breta does not raise invoices and does not log mileage. It records the work so you always know what you did, when, and for whom. PRIVACY Your jobs, customers and photos are yours. They stay on your device and in your own iCloud account. There are no accounts to create and nothing is sold to anyone. BRETA PRO Your first 3 jobs are free, with every feature. Customers, reading your work, exporting it and changing your settings are always free. A subscription is needed to create more jobs. - Yearly, with the first month free - Monthly - Lifetime, paid once Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Privacy Policy: https://www.tupungatostudios.com/privacy/breta Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
