Features

Built For Restaurants

Clock staff in without fighting the device

Face recognition, PIN pads, and mobile check-in cover every role from line cook to floor manager. Your team starts their shift in seconds, even mid-service.

Turn every sale into the right incentive

Each service charge, upsell, and target bonus is logged to the right person at the point of sale. Incentives reach payroll already calculated - no spreadsheet, no argument.

Share tips the way your team agreed

Cash and card tips follow the split rule you set - pooled, role-weighted, or individual, across FOH and BOH. Every team member sees their tips clearly on their own payslip.

Cover last-minute no-shows without rota panic

Staff request leave or pick up open shifts from the app, and managers approve in one tap. Payroll picks up the change, so no one gets paid for a shift they swapped.

Watch every outlet close the day in one view

Attendance, sales-linked incentives, and hours from every outlet roll up to a single dashboard in real time. You stop waiting for end-of-day WhatsApp updates from each manager.

Show every server what they earned, day by day

Each team member opens the app and sees their hours, tips, incentives, and advance balance. Month-end questions drop because the answer is already on their phone.

Log advances, meals, and breakages as they happen

Cash advances, staff meal costs, uniform deductions, and breakage charges are entered the moment they come up. Nothing gets forgotten, and nothing gets argued over on pay day.

Onboard a new hire before their first shift

Set shift patterns, pay rates, and outlet rules once, then apply them to every new hire in minutes. Your next server or cook is ready for payroll from day one.

Customer Stories

Restaurants Who Switched to
Peaceful Payroll

  • “We used to spend 3-4 days every month just chasing attendance, calculating salaries, and correcting mistakes. After switching to Attendo, all of that happens automatically. Our salary goes out on the 1st, every month, without any last-minute panic.”

    Ankeet Satish Kumar GuptaOwner, Nini's Kitchen

  • “Before Attendo, every month-end was a nightmare. Attendance sheets were wrong, calculations took forever. Now everything is ready before the 1st. I haven't touched a spreadsheet in months.”

FAQ

Payroll For Restaurants
FAQs

What is the best payroll software for restaurants with multiple outlets and big staff?
The best payroll software for restaurants is Attendo handles tips, service charges, mixed roles, and multi-outlet attendance in one system. Look for one that works without relying on fingerprint hardware, tracks advances separately from salary, and gives each outlet manager a limited view. That way the head office sees the full picture while each outlet runs day-to-day without friction.
How does the software calculate service charges and upsell incentives for servers and kitchen staff?
Service charges and upsell incentives are calculated using the rules you set for each role - fixed percentage, tiered, or per-item. Back-of-house and front-of-house can be split differently, and trainees or managers excluded from certain pools. You approve the rule once, and the same logic runs every payroll cycle without anyone rechecking the math.
How are tips split between waiters, bartenders, and kitchen staff on card versus cash payments?
Tips from card and cash payments follow the split rule you set - pooled, role-based, or individual. Card tips flow in with the day's sales, while cash tips are entered at close of service. Both land on the right payslip with the source visible, so nobody argues about whose share came from where.
Which attendance device actually works in a restaurant kitchen with oily, wet, or floury hands?
In a restaurant kitchen, fingerprint devices struggle because of oil, water, flour, and gloves. Face-recognition terminals and PIN-based clock-in work reliably, and mobile check-in covers staff at rooftop, outdoor, or temporary outlets. You can mix devices across outlets based on the setup - no need to buy the same expensive device for every location.
Can one owner manage payroll and attendance across multiple restaurant outlets and franchise branches?
Managing multiple restaurant outlets is handled through role-based access - owners see everything, outlet managers see only their own team. Franchise owners get their own payroll view without touching head office data. At month-end, every outlet's numbers roll up automatically, so you never wait on a manager's WhatsApp update to close the books.
Can a restaurant owner run payroll without hiring a dedicated HR person or accountant?
A restaurant owner can run payroll without a dedicated HR person once the basic rules are set. Shift patterns, pay rates, tip rules, and deductions are configured once, then payroll runs on the same logic every cycle. For tax filings, you export a clean report and hand it to your accountant - no back-and-forth, no re-entry.
Does it work for restaurants with a mix of hourly servers, salaried chefs, and part-time staff?
A mix of hourly servers, salaried chefs, and part-time staff is supported in one payroll run. You set the pay type per person - hourly, monthly salary, per-shift, or commission - and the system applies the right logic. Staff meals, uniform deductions, and overtime are handled separately per role, so nothing bleeds across pay types.
How long does it take to set up payroll and attendance for a new restaurant?
Setting up payroll for a new restaurant usually takes a few days for a single outlet, once your staff list and pay rules are ready. Multi-outlet chains take a little longer for device placement and manager training. If you're switching from another provider, past attendance and advance balances can be imported so you don't lose continuity mid-month.
