Time, beautifully organised.

Jikan tells your team when they work, records the time they do, and gets the approved hours ready for payroll.

A staff app on phones and a workspace for the owner, in six languages.

Plan the week once

You build the roster and publish it when it is ready. Your team sees their shifts on their phone and acknowledges any change.

Staff share when they are available and ask for leave. They swap shifts with each other, and pick up open shifts you leave for them.

The weekly roster in the Jikan workspace: each person down the side, each day across the top, and every shift in its cell with its time and role.

Clock in on the phone or at the venue

Your team clocks in and out on their phone, or at the kiosk in the venue. A clock-in is saved on the phone first, so it is not lost when the signal is.

If you turn it on, Jikan checks that someone is at the venue when they clock in. It looks only while the app is open, and never in the background.

The Today screen of the staff app on a phone: the clock in button, the next shift with its time and place, and buttons to confirm it or say you cannot make it.

Approve the hours

Jikan sets the hours worked beside the roster. Days that match are approved in one step. Late starts and missing breaks wait for you to look.

Approved timesheets export to payroll as a file, including a CSV for Xero. Jikan prepares the hours; it does not run payroll.

The Timesheets screen in the Jikan workspace: a week of hours against the roster, with the days that need a look listed under the days that match.

Keep everyone in the loop

Team chat, groups and direct messages keep the conversation in one place. Announcements show who has read them, so you know what reached your team.

The handbook, onboarding steps and opening and closing checks sit in the same app. New staff find what they need without asking.

A direct message in the staff app. The header shows the colleague is clocked in, and the conversation has a message box with attach and send buttons.

In the language your team speaks

The apps are in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese and Filipino. Each person uses the app in their own language.

What Jikan does not do

We would rather say it plainly.

It does not track anyone’s location all the time. The optional clock-in check looks once, when someone clocks in, and only while the app is open.
It does not use fingerprints, faces or any other biometrics.
It does not watch personal phones. It does not read other apps, personal messages or other calendars.
It does not pay your team. It prepares approved hours for the payroll system you already use.

Get the app
