Planday is a European workforce scheduling platform, used heavily in hospitality and retail. Its public pricing is in pounds and starts per user with a minimum of 5 users.
Planday centers on scheduling, time tracking and payroll reporting. Starter includes scheduling, simple time tracking, working time rules with compliance warnings, basic payroll reporting and team communication. Plus adds advanced scheduling, leave and absence management, payroll integrations, revenue integration and reporting, API access and employee documents. Pro adds custom planning metrics, auto-scheduling, configurable structures, custom roles and dedicated phone support.
The Planday punch clock runs in its mobile app. With geolocation, staff can only clock in or out from places you approve, and GPS can be paired with fixed clock-in stations.
Planday is good at keeping staffing tied to working-time rules from the very first plan. Starter already includes compliance warnings, basic payroll reporting and communication, which suits operators in countries with strict working-time laws.
Its integration list leans into hospitality: Xero, Sage, ADP, QuickBooks Online and Square sit next to restaurant tools such as Tenzo, Apicbase and Tipjar, and Plus connects revenue so labor can be compared with sales.
Its punch clock is flexible about where clock-in happens. Staff can tap in from the Planday app, but geolocation limits them to places you approve, and fixed clock-in stations can sit alongside GPS for kitchens or back offices where phones stay in lockers.
