GPS employee check-in for your location, with a QR scan
Staff on opening and closing shifts scan a QR across your kitchens, restrooms, and dining areas and share GPS — no app, no hardware. Every check-in is timestamped, mapped, exportable proof your team was on site, ready for owners, franchisors, and health inspectors.

Why Restaurants & Food Service teams use Autonix
Vendor service calls — pest control, equipment techs, deliveries — hit multiple locations, and owners want proof each site was actually serviced.
Pest control bills for monthly service at every location. You verify with Autonix check-ins — a scan and GPS pin per site — instead of trusting the invoice.
Confirm staff are where they should be
A check-in is recorded only when staff on opening and closing shifts scan the QR on site and share location. A GPS pin and server-side timestamp mean "on site" means actually on site.
Prove someone showed up
Every visit plots on a map with the person’s name, time, and coordinates — settle a "they never came" dispute with owners, franchisors, and health inspectors in seconds.
No app, no rugged hardware
Staff scan with their own phone camera and share location in the browser. Nothing to install, nothing to issue, and a five-minute rollout for any crew.
What GPS check-in looks like in Autonix
Real screens from the product. Every scan becomes a mapped, timestamped, exportable record.
See every check-in on a live map
The Location Data tab plots a pin for each check-in and lists who, when, and the exact coordinates. Pins cluster at the real site — the visual that ends a dispute.
One check-in, all the proof
Open any visit to see the person, the timestamp, the GPS pin, and the proof photos they captured.
Photo evidence, grouped by visit
Inspections, cleaning, and field work land in a gallery you can review and export with the rest of the record.
A clean, exportable record
Every check-in lands in a searchable log with names, times, and photo counts. Export CSV or pull via API.
Everything you need to verify check-ins
Scan-to-check-in
Post a QR at each site. A scan records identity, time, and GPS — no app, no timeclock hardware.
Required location
Set GPS to required so a check-in can only be recorded from the actual job site.
Server-side timestamp
Every check-in is stamped server-side and can’t be hand-edited, so arrival times hold up.
Exportable visit log
Download CSV or pull check-ins into your CRM or work-order system via the Autonix API or Zapier.
Dispute-ending proof from three things that are hard to fake together
The strength of an Autonix check-in is the combination: a physical QR code posted at the location, the visitor’s browser GPS at the moment of the scan, and a server-side timestamp that can’t be hand-edited.
Straight talk: Autonix is built to end everyday “did the work actually happen, and where?” disputes, not to be court-grade anti-spoofing. For rounding, cleaning, inspections, patrols, and field visits, it’s dramatically stronger than a paper sign-off and settles the question in seconds. See our security & trust practices.

Frequently asked questions
Can I confirm vendor service across locations?
Yes. Require a scan at each location so vendor visits are verified with GPS and time before you pay.
Is it easy for one-off vendors to use?
Yes. It opens in the phone camera with no app or account, so even occasional vendors comply.
How does GPS check-in work for restaurants & food service?
Staff on opening and closing shifts scan a QR posted across your kitchens, restrooms, and dining areas and share location in the browser. Each check-in is stored with identity, a server-side timestamp, and GPS coordinates — a location-verified record for owners, franchisors, and health inspectors.
Do employees need to install an app?
No. Check-ins open in the standard phone camera and browser — nothing to install and no training, which keeps adoption high with field and facilities crews.
Can I require location so remote check-ins are blocked?
Yes. Location is a per-tracker toggle you can set to required — the check-in is blocked until the employee shares GPS, and pins cluster at the real location.
Is this a payroll or scheduling system?
No, and we’re clear about it: Autonix is location-verified proof of presence, not a payroll, timeclock, or scheduling suite. If you need those, keep using them; if you mainly need defensible proof that staff were on site, Autonix is a simpler, cheaper way to get it.
