Staff attendance and salary app for a bakery or sweet shop

Who works in a bakery and sweet shop

• Bakers and halwais who start before dawn, monthly, and paid well.
• Counter staff for the day, monthly or weekly.
• Extra hands for Diwali, Raksha Bandhan and the wedding weeks.
• A cleaner, often on daily pay.

Monthly for the skilled hands, daily for the festival extras. During festival weeks a shop can double its staff for ten days.

The argument this trade has

Ten extra people worked the Diwali week. Two weeks later, four of them come back saying they were short-paid, and there is nothing to show them.

What matters most here

1. Marking a crowd Ten extra people, one screen.
2. Closed days The days the shop shuts after a festival.
3. A slip for each hand Proof of what was paid, for the ones who come back.

The numbers this trade knows

• A halwai on ₹20,000 a month is about ₹660 a day.
• Ten festival hands at ₹600 a day for seven days is ₹42,000 in one week.
