WHY LIFELENZ?

One platform for the clock, the schedule, and the rules.

LIFELENZ simplifies the most complex parts of restaurant operations, so Operators can focus on running great restaurants instead of chasing paperwork.

Time & Attendance and Time Clock

Every hour accounted for — at the clock and on the board

Time & Attendance — Every hour, accounted for

Worked hours against scheduled hours, live

LIFELENZ shows actual against scheduled for every Team Member as the day runs — the exceptions that cost money are flagged the moment they happen, not at payroll.

  • Breaks, minors, overtime, and predictive pay are checked automatically in real time, so issues can be caught before they become a problem.
  • Every edit and adjustment lands on one clear audit trail, so you always know what changed, when, and why.
  • Absences and missed punches are flagged per Team Member and rolled up per store — so issues surface before payroll.

Time Clock — At the punch

A clock that checks the rules, not just records them

A live punch board on the tablets you already own: who's on, who's late, who's missing, who's on break — with compliance checked at the moment of the punch, not discovered at payroll.

  • Late clock-ins ask why — and, where applicable, manager-initiated reasons qualify for premium pay automatically, employee-initiated ones don't.
  • Meal and rest breaks count down on the board; returning early requires a manager's PIN, so breaks aren't quietly cut short.
  • Every authorization shows its compliance cost before it's approved — and punch edits go to the employee to accept or reject before payroll.

Each of these features is configurable, so you turn on what fits your restaurants.

Forecasting and Scheduling

See next week before it happens — then let the schedule build itself

Forecasting — Three weeks out

Anticipate demand. Staff with confidence.

LIFELENZ forecasts demand from your own sales history, weather, and local events — sharpening daily so the number you're staffing to keeps getting more accurate.

  • Labor, transaction count and sales are forecast together, so every part of the plan agrees.
  • Where available, up to seven weeks of history sit behind each forecast day — with accuracy tracked against actuals.
  • Broken down by daypart and ready to approve, store by store.
Scheduling — The week builds itself

Build the week in minutes, not evenings

Auto-Optimized Scheduling turns that forecast into a costed schedule, checked against your labor rules, for every location — so managers stop rebuilding the same schedule by hand.

  • Auto Schedule builds the week overnight, costed against the forecast as it builds.
  • Compliance costs are shown before you publish, helping you avoid surprise premiums at payroll.
  • Posted straight to your team: every shift lands on their phones the moment you approve.
Compliance

Compliance costs, priced and on the record

Compliance — Checked at the clock

Breaks, minors, overtime — flagged early, before they add up

A rules engine covering 130+ jurisdiction rule sets monitors shifts in real time, helping managers catch issues while the shift is still running — not two weeks later on a pay dispute.

  • One week, one number: Compliance Pay is totaled and converted for the pay period.
  • Every warning shows the rule in the words of the statute — priced per breach, per shift.
  • Dismissals happen on the record, with a name — a clean audit trail behind every decision.
Reporting

Every location, every shift — in one view

Reporting — See the numbers that matter

Real-time visibility into every location

Role-based reports across your whole footprint — attendance reliability, break waivers, pay-period variance and more, scoped to exactly the stores and people you need.

  • Pick the report, then set its scope — one restaurant or all of them.
  • Run it for all employees, a single Team Member, or a filtered set.
  • Thresholds you define — early and late — in a library organized by the question you're answering.
