Paychex Expands Solutions Designed to Streamline Payroll for Restaurant Owners and Employees

Expanding its commitment to delivering superior technology and service solutions to help restaurants across the U.S. better manage payroll and HR obligations, Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of integrated human capital management solutions, today announced its offering of Netspend’s Tip Network, streamlining the process for paying tipped employees.

In conjunction with a paycard, Tip Network allows restaurants to track employees’ tips, calculate tip sharing and pooling amounts, and distribute tips electronically at the end of a shift, helping to manage tips more efficiently and accurately than ever before.

As restaurant owners work to manage the front-end, kitchen, and back-office elements of their establishments, Tip Network allows for increased cash flow with no prefunding required, helps cash management by eliminating the need for mid-shift bank trips to get cash for tip distribution, and provides customer reports with business insights, including earnings and payouts through a central dashboard.

Restaurant employees reap the benefits of the Tip Network as well, with earned tips available via a paycard at the end of each shift, resulting in safer money handling, time saved in tip tracking and tip distribution, and the ability to track past and forecasted earnings and shifts through the employee dashboard. The system also allows for easy tip pooling among employees as necessary.

“We chose Paychex because we felt it would be like having a partner in our business,” said Mike Galderio, Sr., owner of Balagio Ristorante, a family-run restaurant offering homemade Italian food with two locations in Illinois. “We use Paychex for payroll, reporting, and direct deposit – and our service has been wonderful. It takes a lot of pressure off, as it’s another aspect of the business that you don’t have to worry about. They help me achieve my goals every week.”
