What happens if a valet tries to check in away from the location?

The app shows they are outside the work zone, with the location on a map, and asks them to move closer. They can join the shift once they are inside the boundary.

What happens if a valet leaves during the shift?

They get a Location Alert asking them to return to the work area, with a countdown. If they don't come back in time, they are checked out of the shift and the offence is recorded.

Who does geo fencing apply to?

Runners always. You can also turn it on for supervisors. It is set per location in the location's settings.

How big can the boundary be?

You set the radius around the location's address, from a quarter mile up to five miles. The location needs a valid address with coordinates first.

Where do I see geofence offences?

On the Shift Report. Its team sheet lists each team member's check-in time, final check-out time, hours worked and geo fence offences.

Does the app need location permission?

Yes. Team members covered by geo fencing allow location access, set to Allow Always, so the app can keep checking during the shift. Without it they can't stay on the shift.

Geofenced Check-In

Know Your Team Is On Site for the Whole Shift

Draw a boundary around each location. Valets can only join the shift from inside it, and the app warns them, then checks them out, if they leave.

How It Works

1
Set the Boundary
In location settings, turn on geo fencing and set the radius around the location's address, from a quarter mile up to five miles, on a map.
2
Choose Who It Applies To
Geo fencing always applies to runners. You choose whether supervisors are included too.
3
Check In From the Work Area
When a valet joins the shift, the app checks their position. Outside the boundary, it shows the work zone on a map and asks them to move closer.
4
Stay Inside During the Shift
The app keeps checking while they are on shift. If they step outside, they get a warning and a countdown to return before they are checked out.

What You Get

Check-In Only On Site

Team members can't join the shift from home or the parking lot down the street. They have to be inside the boundary you set.

Warnings Before Action

A valet who leaves the area sees a Location Alert asking them to return, with a countdown before automatic check-out.

Automatic Check-Out

If they don't come back in time, or the app stops hearing from them inside the area, they are checked out of the shift.

Offences on the Shift Report

Each geofence check-out is recorded. The Shift Report lists every team member's check-in, final check-out, hours worked and geo fence offences.

A Radius That Fits the Site

Keep it tight for a hotel entrance or widen it for a campus or event. Set it per location and see the circle on the map.

Only During the Shift

Location is checked only while the team member is checked in to a shift. The app explains why it needs location and what happens if they leave.
