From booking to payroll,
handled while you sleep.
Your crew checks in on their phone — GPS-verified at the venue — and the timesheets, gas reimbursement, and payroll build themselves. No spreadsheets. No "did they show up?" texts.
The event's been over for hours. You're still doing math.
Your dinner's gone cold and three of your crew still haven't texted back their hours. You're pretty sure someone rolled in late to Saturday's wedding — but “pretty sure” doesn't hold up when you're cutting the check. So you guess, you round up, you pay it out, and every month that guessing quietly bleeds cash. Shift Tracker does the math for you — who showed up, when they actually arrived, how far they drove, what they're owed — automatically, the moment the event ends.
A process I mapped out by hand — then made into an app.
Shift Tracker isn’t software a committee dreamed up. It’s the exact operating process I built running my own booth company — the check-ins, the timesheets, the gas math, the payroll — battle-tested across hundreds of events until it was airtight, then turned into an app you run in a tap. You’re not beta-testing an idea. You’re running a system that already works.
Set it once. It runs every event.
Geofenced check-ins
Crew taps to check in — verified by GPS at the venue, so "I was there" is a fact, not a claim.
Timesheets that build themselves
Arrival, service, and teardown roll up into a clean timesheet per person, per event — no entry.
Gas & mileage, automatic
Drive distance is measured from your HQ, so reimbursement is calculated the moment they head out.
Payroll-ready export
Review the exceptions, hit export, and get a clean CSV mapped for ADP, Gusto, or QuickBooks.
Crew reminders & alerts
Day-before reminders go out on their own, and late or off-site check-ins flag themselves on your live board — you only hear about exceptions.
A no-login crew guide
Share one link and your team knows exactly how check-ins work — nothing to install.
The Sunday-night math, two ways.
Same six jobs from the same weekend. Here’s what closing them out looks like by hand versus with Shift Tracker running in the background.
| After every event | The manual way | With Shift Tracker |
|---|---|---|
| Knowing who showed up | Text the crew and take their word for it | GPS-verified at the venue, automatically |
| Building timesheets | Cross-check texts against a calendar against a spreadsheet | Built per person, per event — zero data entry |
| Gas & mileage | Log miles by hand for each driver | Measured from your HQ to each venue, pre-calculated |
| Card tips | Tally them up one event at a time | Totaled into your weekly briefing and payroll |
| Payroll | Re-key everything into a spreadsheet | One-tap CSV for ADP, Gusto, or QuickBooks |
| Time it takes | An hour or more, every Sunday night | Done the moment the event ends |
All of that — for nothing.
Shift Tracker quietly retires the tools and the busywork you’re already paying for — in money, or in Sunday nights.
$0To set up · to run · for your whole crew
Operators pay $30/mo for Homebase just to track time. Shift Tracker does that — plus GPS check-ins, gas, card tips, setup proof, and payroll — for $0. The only thing it asks of you is the setup. No card.
And it hands you back time, sized to your operation: a one-to-three-person crew gets at least 4 hours back every month; a 20-plus crew, closer to 150 hours a year.
Everything your business runs on — in one app.
One app, all of it
Your whole operation, one tap away.
Shifts, auto-staffing, code-of-conduct sign-offs, setup photos, payroll, the weekly wrap-up — every part of running your crew lives behind one menu. Nothing to wire together.
Every booking, in detail
The whole job sheet, before you leave the house.
Every confirmed event carries its full sheet — showtime, service window, shift hours, backdrop, and who’s assigned — pulled straight from CheckCherry. No retyping, no guessing what the gig needs.
For your crew
Your team always knows where to be.
Each person sees only their own shifts — date, booth, the city, showtime, and hours — so “wait, where am I today?” stops landing in your inbox.
For your crew
They tell you when they’re free.
Crew set the days they work, how many jobs they want a month, and the dates they’re out — so you staff around real availability instead of guessing or group-texting.
Event day, live
Every check-in, on track — at a glance.
A live board shows who’s on track, due now, late, or unstaffed the moment it changes. When it says “all clear,” it means it — you only look when something needs you.
The week ahead
What needs you — and what’s just noise.
Upcoming events flag what still needs staffing, a design, or a backdrop, while your proposal pipeline sorts itself into hot, warm, and cold — so nothing books without a crew.
Every Monday
Your week, summed up before you wake.
One briefing each Monday — what’s ahead, what needs your attention, what ran last week, and the card tips your crew pulled in. The Sunday-night spreadsheet, already built.
Accountability, built in
See who actually shows up.
Every check-in is GPS-stamped, so on-time is a fact, not a claim. A scorecard ranks reliability per person — reward the dependable ones and spot trouble before a client ever notices.
When the period closes
Payroll-ready in one tap.
Hours, gas, and flagged variances roll into a clean CSV mapped for ADP, Gusto, or QuickBooks — with step-by-step import instructions. Review the exceptions, export, done.
And that’s just what fits on a screenshot.
The headline features get you from booking to payroll. These are the ones that keep the wheels on once you’re running real weekends.
Auto-staff the whole month
Turn it on and Shift Tracker proposes next month’s crew around real availability and who actually shows up. You review, tweak, and approve in one pass — and it reminds you a week out.
Proof-of-setup photos
Crew snap a test shot and setup photos at the venue, geo-stamped — so “the booth looked great” isn’t your word against a chargeback. Required to start service, with an admin override when you need one.
Signed codes of conduct
Send every crew member your conduct agreement to e-sign from their phone. See who’s signed at a glance, and unsigned crew get nudged on their own.
A wrap-up that closes itself out
After each event, one screen shows what’s still open — photos, tips, timesheets, balance due, signed docs — so nothing slips between the gig and getting paid.
Team leads who run their own crew
Promote a lead and they see their team’s shifts and check-ins — you hand off the day-of babysitting without handing over the whole account.
Multi-booth events, handled
One booking with three booths becomes three staffed assignments, each with its own crew and start time — no cramming a 3-booth job onto a single line.
Three things you’ll stop lying awake on.
“They showed up.”
GPS-verified check-ins make attendance a fact, not a hope. You stop wondering, and start knowing.
“Payroll’s right.”
Hours, gas, and tips are calculated for you — so you’re never quietly over-paying, or short-changing someone who earned it.
“Nothing slipped.”
Late or missed check-ins flag themselves live. You hear about the exception from your phone — not from an angry client on Monday.
Three steps and you're running.
Start free, add your details
Sign up with your phone, set your HQ address and service timing. No card.
Connect your bookings

Your crew checks in
They tap in at the venue; timesheets, gas, and payroll build themselves.
CheckCherry books the job.
Shift Tracker runs the crew.
CheckCherry is where you take bookings, send contracts, and collect payment. Shift Tracker doesn’t replace any of that — it picks up the moment an event is confirmed and handles the part CheckCherry doesn’t: getting the right crew to the venue, proving they showed up, and turning it all into payroll. The two run as one, with zero double entry.
Your booking desk — you keep it exactly as is.
- Online booking & proposals
- Contracts & e-signatures
- Deposits, invoices & payments
- Client portal & CRM
You don’t change a thing.
Your crew & back office — now automatic.
- Crew assignment & availability
- GPS-verified check-ins
- Automatic timesheets
- Gas & mileage
- Reliability scorecards
- Payroll-ready export
Handled while you sleep.
