Restaurants deal with payroll issues that typical payroll systems do not handle well. We solve the problems that create rework, missed details, and compliance risk.
Our restaurant payroll services are designed for real-world restaurant operations, including weekly payroll, tip-heavy teams, and multi-location groups.
Many restaurants prefer weekly payroll for smoother cash flow and team expectations. We support weekly runs and off-cycle payroll when needed, while keeping your payroll processing consistent and easy to approve.
Reduce errors by improving how hours are captured, reviewed, and approved. Manager approvals and exception reviews help you catch problems before payroll is processed.
We help you set up tip payroll for front-of-house and support roles with clear rules and repeatable workflows. This reduces confusion around tip distribution and helps keep your restaurant payroll accurate from week to week.
We support payroll tax workflows and year-end reporting so you are not scrambling at filing time. Keep payroll records organized, reduce surprises, and simplify year-end W-2 preparation.
High turnover is common in hospitality. We help you streamline onboarding and provide employee access options that reduce administrative work, including pay stubs and year-end forms, depending on your setup.
Integrations help reduce double entry and speed up payroll week. When hours, roles, and tips are connected to payroll, you spend less time reconciling and more time reviewing.
Bring in hours and role-based information to reduce manual edits. A cleaner import process also makes it easier to spot exceptions.
Credit card tips are a major source of payroll confusion when they are tracked separately. Syncing tip data helps keep tip payroll calculations and reporting consistent.
A clear review step helps you catch missing punches, unusual overtime, and tip variances before payroll is processed. This reduces corrections and helps avoid avoidable disputes.
Restaurants in New York face additional wage and hour requirements that should be tracked consistently. Our team helps you keep payroll documentation organized and workflows aligned with common hospitality rules.
Spread of hours issues can show up when schedules stretch across a long workday. We help you track and flag situations where spread of hours pay may apply, so the right action can be taken before payroll is finalized.
Tip credit compliance depends on accurate role and duty tracking. We help you maintain documentation practices that support tipped employee payroll and reduce confusion when duties shift during a shift.
Overtime and blended rates can become complicated when employees work multiple roles with different pay rates. We help you structure payroll to reduce errors and support consistent calculations.
Clean tip records protect both the restaurant and the employee. We support workflows that keep tip reporting organized and easier to reference when questions come up.

We review how you run restaurant payroll today, including pay frequency, tips, roles, and current pain points. This helps us recommend a setup that fits your operation.

Restaurant payroll does not stop after setup. You get a support team that helps address issues, follow up on questions, and assist when payroll notices or documentation requests arise.
We support hospitality businesses with payroll needs that change day to day.
For restaurants with multiple roles, varying shifts, and tip-heavy teams that need consistent payroll processes.
For teams that prioritize speed, scheduling efficiency, and reliable weekly payroll processing.
For high tip volume environments with late shifts, role changes, and tip out complexity.
For operators who need consistent payroll rules, reporting, and visibility across locations.
Payroll should help you make decisions, not just cut checks.
We support reporting that makes payroll week easier to review.
Identify overtime patterns, high-cost weeks, and labor trends so you can plan schedules more effectively.
Review tip totals, tip variances, and payroll summaries in a clear format to reduce confusion during approvals.
For multi-location operations, reporting by location and role helps you see where labor is trending and where exceptions happen most.
Payroll pricing should match how restaurants operate. We scope based on your team size, pay frequency, and number of locations.

This is by far, the BEST payroll company out there. We've been through our share of payroll providers and none of them were able to meet our needs.

I became a PPS customer after YEARS of being frustrated with the "Big Companies", where I was just a number. The entire team at PPS has been overly accommodating from day one. They are knowledgeable, and available when I need them. I always receive a response in a timely manner, and with an explanation that is easy to understand. They take the time to make you feel more like a valued friend that just another customer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
My company has been with Premier Payroll for over a year now and we could not be happier with the switch. The Premier team is always willing to assist my company with any needs we have.

TJ has been super helpful and easy to talk to when it comes to payroll. He was easily able to save me money and make it take half the time!! You should switch now
Always excellent, fast and reliable service. The entire staff is accommodating, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Having worked with other major payroll companies I would prefer Premier over the bigger names. I would absolutely recommend Premier Payroll Solutions!
