Keep check-in dates accurate during restaurant shifts

Record when the visit happened. Preparation, service, and cleanup create different time markers from a standard office day.

What makes this useful

The time you enter a check-in may differ from the time the visit happened.

Use before service or after cleanup if those are the details you remember. A consistent label such as “restaurant shift” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Open the optional context and adjust the visit time when you remember it.
  2. Check the calendar date as well as the hour, especially around midnight.
  3. Use before service or after cleanup if those are the details you remember. If the “restaurant shift” entry was added later, check that its saved time describes the visit rather than the moment you opened the app.

An example of useful context

“After lunch service, before cleanup finished.”

Does the visit date describe the shift correctly if cleanup ran past midnight?

Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
