AI-Powered Time Tracking with Kiosk App

Track employee hours accurately with an intelligent clock in/out kiosk that uses AI to streamline attendance.

Manage paid time off, sick leave, and vacation requests directly within the platform. Employees can submit time-off requests, managers can approve or deny them with a single click, and everything is automatically tracked and applied to payroll. This feature simplifies a traditionally complex HR task, reducing administrative burden and ensuring accurate accrual balances. It keeps your team informed and your operations running smoothly.

Team Communication and Employee Onboarding

FRIDAY includes built-in communication tools that keep your entire team connected without needing a separate app. Share announcements, send direct messages, and foster a collaborative culture.

Restaurant and Hospitality Management

Hourly employees can clock in and out using the AI-powered kiosk, and their hours are automatically synced to payroll for accurate tip allocation and wage calculations. Manage varying schedules, handle overtime, and process payroll for both front-of-house and back-of-house staff without the complexity of spreadsheets or expensive legacy systems.

Retail and Salon Operations

Retail shops, salons, and spas often deal with a mix of hourly employees and commission-based contractors. FRIDAY handles both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors with ease, allowing you to pay everyone from a single platform. The time-off management feature helps you schedule vacations and sick days without disrupting customer service. Integrated communication tools keep your team aligned on promotions, schedules, and daily tasks.

Construction and Contracting Businesses

Contractors and construction companies need a reliable payroll system that can handle varying project hours, travel reimbursements, and multiple pay rates.
