Komia
All-in-one platform for staff scheduling, time clocking and HACCP compliance.
Scheduling and time clocking can reasonably be rebuilt; the HACCP module is simple in itself, but making the two coexist in a single reliable tool takes more work than it looks.
What you lose
- HACCP tracking built into the same tool as the schedule.
- Ready-made HACCP checklists.
- The vendor's support during an inspection.
Existing alternatives to Komia
Team schedule for bars and restaurants, free up to 4 employees, hour totals and overrun alerts.

French HACCP software with a free plan (manual temperatures, receiving, traceability); Pro at €49.90 excl. VAT/month with scheduling.
- HACCP FacileFree
Web and mobile HACCP app with a free starter plan of 4 modules (including temperature readings).
The prompt to build it yourself
Build me a staff scheduling and time-clocking tool with a HACCP module, for my venue, to replace a subscription. Stack: web app (Next.js or Node/Express) with SQLite, hosted on my small server, usable on phone and computer. No mandatory paid service, no telemetry. Core of the tool: - Schedule per position with weekly templates, and time clocking from phone or tablet. - Separate HACCP module: temperature readings and cleaning checklists timestamped by the employee. - Daily view: who is working, which hygiene tasks remain. Requirements: - Weekly schedule by position and by shift, with drag and drop, copy of the previous week and publication to the teams. - Availability and leave requests entered by the employee, approved by the manager. - Configurable alerts: 11 h rest between two shifts, 10 h of work per day, weekly working time. Default values from the French Labour Code, to be adapted to the HCR collective agreement by my accountant. - CSV export of hours per employee and per period, for my accountant. - Employee data: role-based access (manager, employee), password or magic link, change log. - HACCP readings: append-only log, never edited or erased; a correction creates a new line (Regulation (EC) 852/2004, food safety plan). Out of scope: payroll and connection to a temperature probe. README: installation, backup, and a reminder that this tool is not payroll software and calculates no salary, no DSN, no DPAE, and that legal counts remain to be checked by my accountant.
