Real questions
The questions we actually get asked.

Pricing & trial
Free forever for up to 5 staff (attendance, selfie + GPS, roster and leave). Pro is ₹249 per outlet per month for up to 15 staff, and adds payroll, payslips and Ask Zziffy. Each extra person is ₹15 a month. Annual billing gives you 2 months free. 18% GST extra. That is about ₹8 a day for a whole outlet.
No catch and no card. Free covers one outlet and up to 5 staff with attendance, roster and leave, for as long as you like. You upgrade only when you want payroll, payslips and the AI assistant, or when you grow past 5 people.
Both. Monthly Pro is ₹249 per outlet. Annual is ₹2,490 per outlet, which is two months free. Switch from inside the dashboard whenever you like.
You pay ₹15 per month for each extra person. A 25-person outlet is ₹249 + 10 × ₹15 = ₹399 a month. No jumping to a bigger plan.
So growing your team does not punish you. A café with 12 staff pays ₹249 a month in total, not ₹249 for every head.
No. 18% GST is added at checkout and you get a proper GST invoice. Ask Zziffy, payslips and updates are included in Pro.
See our Refund Policy. You can cancel from the dashboard at any time.
How you use Zziffy
Owner: sign up at app.zziffy.com, add your outlet and staff, set shifts. After that you open the app to see who is in, approve leave, and run payroll at month end. Staff: open the Zziffy icon on their phone, tap Clock in, take the selfie, done. They also see their roster, apply for leave and download payslips from the same app.
Not today. Zziffy is a progressive web app (PWA). It opens in the phone browser and installs to the home screen with its own icon, full screen, like a normal app, with no store download and no waiting for updates.
Open the staff link (app.zziffy.com/crew/login) in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, choose Install app or Add to Home screen, and confirm. The Zziffy icon appears with the other apps. It takes under a minute.
Open the staff link in Safari, tap the Share button, choose Add to Home Screen, then Add. Open it from the new icon. Push alerts on iPhone work only from the installed icon and need iOS 16.4 or newer.
You add each person with their mobile number. They sign in at the staff link with their mobile number or employee code and the password you share, and are asked to set their own password on first login.
Yes. The owner dashboard is built for phones and also works on laptops and desktops in any modern browser at app.zziffy.com.
Use kiosk mode: keep one phone or tablet at the counter. Staff tap their name, take a selfie, share location and clock in or out. Everything lands in the same attendance records.
Yes. Owners and staff get push notifications once they allow notifications in the installed app.
No. The app updates itself. When a new version is ready, the installed app refreshes automatically, so everyone is always on the same version.
Add your staff, set shift timings, and ask everyone to install the app. The free plan lets you try it with up to 5 people before you pay anything.
Setup & onboarding
About 15 minutes. Sign up → name your outlets → add your first 5 employees → set shift timings → done. Your staff install the PWA on their phones in 30 seconds, no app store wait.
Yes. WhatsApp +91 8433550900 and someone real (often the founder) walks you through it. Same day, usually.
No. The owner dashboard runs in any browser at app.zziffy.com. The staff app is a Progressive Web App — your team adds it to their phone home screen. Nothing to download from Play Store / App Store.
Yes — and fast. The staff app is one big green Clock In button. Add to home screen once, tap-to-clock-in / tap-to-apply-leave / tap-to-download-payslip from there. Most workers do their first clock-in in under 15 seconds.
Honestly, most do — and Zziffy works on any reasonably modern Android or iPhone. For staff without a phone, you can mark attendance manually from the owner dashboard, or use kiosk mode on a shared tablet at the counter (each employee taps their name + selfies in).
Attendance
Employee opens the PWA, taps the green Clock In button. Camera captures a live selfie + GPS coordinate. Both are shown to the owner in the live dashboard. Selfies are stored encrypted, visible only to the owner and the employee themselves.
You mark attendance manually from the owner dashboard in 5 seconds. Or use kiosk mode (shared tablet at the counter, employee taps their name + selfies in).
The app needs internet to record the clock-in (it has to reach our server). Most phones have data — even basic plans cover this. If you're in a true dead zone, owner-side manual entry covers it.
Per outlet, you can pin the location and set a radius. If a staff member tries to clock in from outside the fence, the app warns them. You decide whether to enforce or just flag.
Yes — that's the dashboard home page. Live "who's clocked in" view with selfies and times. Updates real-time.
Roster & shifts
Weekly grid. Rows are employees, columns are days. Create shift templates with colours, drop one into a cell. To retime a single day — tap that cell, change times, save. Two taps. The team's app updates immediately.
Yes. Each cell can carry a template OR an override for that specific day. So Priya's usual is 10–7, but Saturday she works 11–8 — just override that one cell.
No. Roster is the plan. Actual hours clocked still drive present/half-day/absent. So if someone shows up late, you just nudge the cell, no data ever gets out of sync.
Leave
Casual, Sick, Earned, Unpaid, Maternity, Paternity, Comp-off — and you can configure how much of each accrues per month per employee. Holidays are separate from leaves.
Yes. They pick dates, type a reason, tap Apply. You see it in your inbox, approve / reject with a tap. Balance auto-updates.
Supported. Morning or afternoon half. Deducts 0.5 from the relevant bucket.
Settings → Leave Policies → pick leave types + monthly accrual rates + carry-forward rules. Defaults work for most SMBs; tweak only if you need to.
Payroll
Attendance flows automatically into payroll. Half-days, overtime, leave deductions are all auto-computed. PF, ESI, Professional Tax, HRA are pre-built with state-specific slabs (KA, MH, TN, WB, GJ +). You review the sheet, tap Approve, and PDF payslips push to staff in their app.
Not today. Zziffy computes the right amount per employee and gives you a CA-ready CSV. Your accountant files the actual returns. (Filing integration is on the roadmap; we'll WhatsApp you when it ships.)
Yes. Each outlet sets its state for Professional Tax. Staff are scoped to their outlet so the PT slab is correct without you thinking about it.
You can add ad-hoc earnings or deductions to any payroll row before approving. So commission for the month, performance bonus, tips pool share — just type it in.
Today: Zziffy generates the CSV, you upload to your bank's portal. Direct NEFT trigger is on the roadmap.
Yes, with a friendly warning ("May isn't over yet — running now creates a partial month"). Useful for partial-month leavers or advance pay scenarios.
Multi-outlet & manager access
Yes. One Zziffy login. Add outlets in Settings → Outlets. Each outlet has its own geofence and pickup in the outlet picker. Pricing is per outlet so each is billed independently.
Yes. Settings → Managers → tap any employee. They keep their crew app login but get admin views scoped only to their outlets. Salary and bank details stay hidden from them.
Yes. Each outlet can carry its own brand identity — logo and colour — that show up on the payslips and outlet picker.
Mood, celebrations, AI
At clock-in, employees pick a mood: sleepy, good, great, amazing, okay, stressed, tough, unwell, rough. You see a heat-map across the team. Catch burnout before it costs you a star employee. Staff can skip if they don't want to share.
Yes. The staff app surfaces today's and this-week's birthdays + work anniversaries automatically. "Pooja's birthday today 🎂" or "Priya hits 3 years on Saturday" — no one has to remember.
Floating chat on every dashboard page. Knows your tenant — outlets, employees, attendance, payroll, leaves. Type "Did Ramesh clock in today?" or "How many pending leaves do I have?" — gets the answer from your real data, in seconds. Free for 100 questions/month.
No. If it can't answer from your data, it raises a support ticket to the Zziffy team rather than guessing. We built it that way on purpose.
The chat tells you so and lets you raise a support ticket the old-fashioned way. We don't silently overcharge.
Languages, privacy, exit
English plus 7 Indian languages: Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati. Each employee picks their own language and it follows them across devices. The owner dashboard is in English.
Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), hosted on India-region cloud (Mumbai). Selfies and GPS captured at clock-in are scoped to your business only.
Yes. We act as a Data Processor on your behalf. Full grievance contact details in our privacy policy. Our grievance officer responds within 7 days as required.
No. Each employee sees only their own attendance, leave, payslip. Salary is owner-only (and managers can be promoted with salary/bank details hidden).
Yes, any time. CSV of your team, attendance history, payslips, leave records — all exportable. You're never locked in.
Stop chasing. Start running.
