Get Time Punch

Turn on Time Punch for your company and open it from Dineout Partner.

Time Punch lets your staff clock in and out and lets you review hours and export payroll reports. It is not on by default: it is a limited feature that has to be switched on for your company.

Time Punch is only available to some companies. If you don't see it in the menu, it isn't switched on for you yet.

Ask for Time Punch to be turned on

If Time Punch isn't on for your company, Dineout Partner shows a page called How to get Time Punch. It says "Time Punch isn't enabled for your company yet" and gives three steps:

  1. Discover Time Punch.
  2. Request activation: ask your administrator or the Dineout team to enable Time Punch for your company.
  3. Start tracking.

Click Contact support on that page, or ask your administrator.

Open Time Punch from Dineout Partner

Once Time Punch is on, it appears in the side menu as Time Punch. The menu item is marked as beta.

Click Time Punch

In the menu, click Time Punch. You see a page called Time Punch has its own home.

Open it

Click Open Time Punch. Time Punch opens in a new tab.

Sign in again if asked

Time Punch is a separate app, so you may need to sign in again.

If the button says Time Punch URL not configured, you can't open it. Contact Dineout support.

Who can see which pages

Time Punch has these pages: Clock in & out, Previous timers, Timers, Users, Load days, Report and Settings.

Everyone can see Clock in & out and Previous timers. The other pages need permission. Owners and managers see every page. For other users, you set the permissions per page (Users, Timers, Report, Load days, Settings) in the user's permissions under the group Time Punch.
