Payroll for restaurants and fast food

Restaurant payroll is different. Tips, overtime, split shifts, several pay rates and frequent new hires all have to be recorded correctly. We handle it remotely, so you can focus on your kitchen and your customers.

This service is for independent restaurants, fast food outlets and cafes with hourly employees.

What is included

• Tip records kept separate from wages
• Overtime and split-shift calculations
• Multiple pay rates for the same employee
• Support with new-hire and termination paperwork
• Quarterly and year-end payroll forms
• Clear payroll reports for you and your accountant

How it works

1. Free consultation. Tell us about your business, your software and what you need.
2. We set up and review. We look at your records and agree on a simple plan.
3. We do the work. You get clear reports and reminders, with one contact for questions.

POS & payroll software we work with

Whether you export hours and tips from Toast POS (Toast payroll reports), Square, Clover or Heartland, we reconcile your timesheets and process accurate weekly payroll or bi-weekly payroll in QuickBooks Payroll or ADP. We also track FICA tip credits and employer payroll taxes on reported tips.

Common questions

Do you record tips?

Yes. Tips are recorded separately so your reports stay accurate.

Can you work from my timesheets or POS reports?

Send us your hours or POS reports in whatever format you have, and we will work from them.

Do the tax rules for tips and overtime change?

They can. We follow current IRS guidance and confirm details on IRS.gov when rules change.
