Pay My Shift

Know what you're owed before payday.

Pay My Shift is a phone app for restaurant staff. Tap Start and Stop on each shift, and your hours and estimated pay build up toward payday.

Pay My Shift is invite-only while we pilot it. If your manager sent you a link, open it on your phone.

From invite to payday

  1. Your manager invites you

    Open your personal link or QR code on your phone and set up how you sign in.

  2. Tap Start, tap Stop

    Times round to the step your restaurant sets, such as 15 minutes.

  3. Check the week

    See hours and gross pay by week and fortnight, with an estimate of tax, National Insurance and take-home pay.

  4. Mark payday

    Mark it received and enter the amount. The app tells you whether it matches the estimated net pay.

Plan from the rota, then one tap

Enter the week's shifts from your rota. On the day, tap Confirm as planned, or edit the hours if the shift ran differently.

Week screen for next week with each planned shift listed by day. A line at the top reads Plan covers 36h 15m.

An estimate you can check

Each fortnight shows your hours, gross pay, estimated tax and National Insurance, and expected take-home pay. When payday arrives, you can see whether the amount you received matches.

Pay is shown in pounds. The tax and National Insurance estimate covers the UK only, using 2026/27 rates for England, Wales and Northern Ireland with tax code 1257L. It can differ from your payslip, which stays the official figure.

Fortnight pay screen with an expected net pay card of £814.22, above a breakdown of hours, gross pay, income tax, National Insurance and net pay.

More about the app

  • Totals for any period

    Look at two weeks, a month, a year or the UK tax year. Export your own hours as a CSV file.

  • Reminders without pay figures

    Get a nudge to confirm your day, to stop a shift left running, and when payday arrives. Reminders never show what you earn. On iPhone, add the app to the Home Screen first.

  • Private by design

    Your manager sees your hours, wage and email. Other staff cannot. What you mark as received stays private to you.
