In retail and hospitality, your people are your product. Staff are your front line — and keeping track of who's working, when they clocked in, and whether their hours match what's being paid is the difference between a profitable shift and a compliance nightmare.

Since January 2025, underpaying employees is a criminal offence in Australia. For retail chains and hospitality venues — two of the sectors historically under the most scrutiny from Fair Work — accurate, tamper-proof time records are no longer optional. They're the law.

Contactless, Hygienic, and Lightning Fast

The FingerTec Face ID X was designed for high-traffic environments. Its automatic camera activation means employees simply walk up to the terminal and are verified — no touching required. In a post-COVID hospitality environment where hygiene is still front of mind, a contactless biometric terminal is exactly what staff and management want.

With face verification in under 2 seconds and the capacity to store 30,000 face templates, even a busy restaurant with dozens of casuals, part-timers, and kitchen staff can get everyone clocked in smoothly at the start of a lunch rush.

Manage Rosters Across Every Outlet — From One Cloud Dashboard

For retail chains and multi-venue hospitality groups, TimeTec TA is a game changer. The platform stores attendance data from all your locations on a single cloud server, accessible from anywhere, at any time. A state manager in Sydney can check attendance at a Melbourne store in real time. A payroll officer can pull a full month's attendance report for 200 staff across 12 outlets in minutes.

TimeTec TA handles the complexity of modern hospitality rosters — flexi shifts, daily rosters, weekly schedules, and casual arrangements — all managed within the same platform. Leave requests and approvals happen via web or mobile app, reducing the endless back-and-forth between staff and managers.

From Timesheet to Payroll in Minutes

TimeTec TA exports attendance data directly to MYOB for Australian users, eliminating the double-handling that causes payroll errors. Every clock-in, clock-out, break, and overtime hour is captured automatically and formatted for seamless payroll processing.

For hospitality operators managing complex award interpretations — penalty rates, split shifts, junior rates — having clean, accurate time data flowing directly into payroll software is the single most effective way to eliminate underpayments before they happen.

The cost of getting it wrong is too high. Protect your business, your team, and your reputation with FingerTec Face ID X and TimeTec TA. Get in touch with FingerTec Australia today.
