How kardia fits

Reusable templates for lunch + dinner blocks — with the rest gap and break rules required by ArbZG.

One-tap kiosk check-in

Stick a QR code by the pass. No app, no login — staff tap once and the shift is tracked.

Live no-show alerts

If a scheduled shift starts and nobody clocked in, you get a push notification immediately.

Common questions

Does kardia handle split shifts?

Yes. You can plan two separate shifts in one day (e.g. 11:30–14:30 and 18:00–23:00). kardia tracks them as two entries and enforces the minimum rest gap between them per ArbZG.

What about the ArbZG 11-hour rest between shifts?

kardia enforces the 11-hour rest period required by the German Arbeitszeitgesetz on every plan. If you try to schedule a shift that breaks it, the planner warns you before publishing.

Can I roll a template across the whole month?

Yes. Build a weekly template and apply it across as many weeks as you need. Override specific days for holidays, events or sick leave.
