Payroll Software for the Hospitality Industry

What is Hospitality Payroll Software?

BizPay is cloud-based hospitality payroll software for New Zealand and Australian businesses. It helps hotels, motels, restaurants, cafés, bars and other hospitality businesses manage payroll, timesheets, rostering, leave, payday filing and reporting in one system.

Simplify Business Management with Payroll for Cafes and Restaurants

Running a hotel, motel, restaurant or other hospitality business means managing rosters, seasonal staff, public holidays and multiple pay rates while delivering excellent customer service. As a result, payroll can quickly become difficult to manage. BizPay simplifies the process so you can focus on your customers rather than spreadsheets.

In addition, our cloud-based hospitality payroll software automates digital timesheets, payday filing, KiwiSaver, leave balances and tax calculations. Whether you operate one café or multiple hospitality venues, BizPay helps reduce payroll administration and improve accuracy.

Essential Features of Hospitality Payroll Software


BizPay automates payroll data filing with Inland Revenue through IRD Gateway Services. As a result, PAYE, KiwiSaver, ACC deductions and public holiday pay are easier to manage. For more information, see Inland Revenue’s payday filing guidance.

Ditch manual timesheet tracking. Instead, employees can clock in and out digitally while breaks and hours are calculated automatically. As a result, your hospitality business can reduce timesheet errors and process payroll more efficiently.

Create rosters, manage pay rates, detect public holidays and apply payroll rules across multiple locations. In addition, you can track labour costs against your budget in real time. This makes it easier to manage hospitality’s seasonal and variable staffing needs.

Give employees access to payslips, pay history, leave requests and personal information through self-service tools. In addition, staff can review upcoming shifts and worked hours. As a result, managers spend less time handling routine payroll enquiries.

Run reports by date, department or property. For example, you can review labour costs, payroll trends and roster accuracy. As a result, managers can make better staffing and budgeting decisions.

Choose a one-time fee or monthly subscription depending on your business needs. Whether you manage a boutique hotel or multiple cafés, BizPay can scale with your operation.

Our New Zealand-based support team is available by phone and email during business hours. In addition, we provide onboarding and training to help your team get started with BizPay.

BizPay can integrate with accounting software, HR tools and point-of-sale systems. As a result, timesheets, pay rates and payroll information can move between your systems with less manual handling.
