8 Hidden Benefits of A Restaurant Time Card App Share This Story, Choose Your Platform! Most businesses with a mobile workforce, including restaurants, should be in the market for a Time Card app. Why? Most mobile time clock solutions present real-time employee time tracking and allow employees to easily switch from labor category to category and also to switch job codes and numbers. An accurate and uncomplicated time tracking system will generally improve payroll processing, reduce payroll costs and eventually reduce administrative costs.
