Essential Features of Restaurant Payroll Software


For example, BizPay automates payroll data filing with Inland Revenue through IRD Gateway Services. As a result, your restaurant can reduce manual uploads and simplify payday filing. For official requirements, see Inland Revenue’s payday filing guidance.

Instead of relying on paper-based time tracking, employees can clock in and out digitally through the app. As a result, hours and breaks can flow directly into payroll calculations. In addition, this reduces manual entry and helps lower the risk of payroll errors.

You can build rosters, manage rates and apply holiday rules in minutes. Track actual labour spend vs budget in real-time so you can make quick staffing decisions that protect your bottom line.

Empower your employees with a self-service portal where they can view payslips and upcoming pay runs, submit leave requests, update details, and track hours worked and upcoming shifts.

BizPay restaurant payroll software allows you to generate reports by date, category, or department. Monitor actual vs scheduled hours, forecast staff costs, and track payroll trends over time.

Depending on your needs, you can choose a one-time payment or monthly subscription. BizPay is affordable and scales with your restaurant or hospitality business. Select the ideal plan for your restaurant—whether you have five employees or 500. Competitive pricing, no hidden fees.

We provide local support from real people who understand the hospitality industry. From onboarding to ongoing training, our team is here to help by phone or email.
