Online alarm clock for 8:36 pm
Hand the café close to the next person with an 8:36 pm alarm marking when they should start counting the till. It gives the incoming closer a clear cue while you finish the handover notes, check what still needs cleaning and explain any EFTPOS differences. There is no need to stretch the changeover to 9:00 pm; the remaining 24 minutes can hold the actual count and final checks.
Because the person taking over may put their phone aside while stacking chairs or checking the back room, set the alarm where it will remain audible and visible. The alarm cannot protect the till handover if this page is closed or the phone goes to sleep before it sounds. Leave the page running, keep the phone awake and choose a volume that can be heard over the coffee machine, dishwasher and end-of-shift conversation.
Once the café is locked and the cash figures are recorded, avoid letting 8:36 pm become the start of a long trail of small closing jobs. Note any issue for the morning crew, pack what you need, and set a firm point for leaving. Finishing the handover promptly preserves more of the evening for winding down and leaves a more useful stretch of sleep before the next day begins.
Common questions
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
