Built for this kind of work.

Keep restaurant work intervals clear across stations and split shifts. This restaurant timesheet includes a station or role field so a reviewer can distinguish kitchen, floor, bar and other assignments without losing the actual shift times. Record separate intervals when there is a genuine break between shifts rather than counting the entire span as continuous work. Notes can explain a role change or correction, but tips and gratuities should remain in their designated records rather than the hours total. The sheet does not determine pay rates, tip treatment or break entitlement. Review actual entries against the work performed, not just the published rota.

What’s in the template

DateStation / roleShift noteStartEndBreak (min)Hours

The blank form includes 14 entry rows and space to identify the person or team, reporting period and reviewer. Add rows in the editable files when your reporting period needs more detail.

How to use it

  1. Enter the worker and reporting period.
  2. Identify the station or role for each interval.
  3. Record actual times and reviewed unpaid breaks.
  4. Check split shifts and role changes before submission.

Keep the record useful

  • Use separate rows for separated shifts.
  • Keep tip records separate from time totals.
  • Record actual hours rather than copying the rota.

These are recordkeeping tools, not payroll or legal advice. Confirm your own break, overtime, approval and billing rules. Do not include patient details, children's personal information or other sensitive information in general work notes.

Using it in Google Sheets

Download the Excel file, upload it to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets. Check the imported formulas and time formats with a sample entry before relying on totals. For shared teams, set access deliberately and keep a clean master copy.

Template questions

Make it work
for your day.

How do I record a lunch shift and dinner shift?

Use two rows with their own start and end times. Do not count the gap between them as one continuous shift.

Can I record tips in this template?

Use your designated tip record instead. This template focuses on hours and work assignments.

What if my role changes mid-shift?

Split the interval into separate rows if the role distinction matters to your reviewer.
