Payday that survives the dinner rush.

Between tip-outs, part-timers and people coming and going, restaurant payroll has more moving parts than almost any other business. PayRoar knows the rules for tips: what gets taxed, what doesn't count toward vacation pay. You won't have to keep them in your head on a Friday night.

Tips without the tax guesswork

Enter what each person made in tips for the period. The right deductions come off and vacation pay correctly leaves tips alone, a rule that's easy to get wrong and adds up fast across a whole staff.

Part-timers and overtime, sorted

Different wages for different people, overtime when a shift runs long, servers next to salaried kitchen managers. Simply enter the hours and every cheque comes out right, on the same pay run.

Stat holidays without the argument

Who gets paid what for a long weekend is a formula, not a debate. PayRoar works out each person's holiday pay from their actual pay history. You just say how many stat days there were.

On every payday

What you get

Everything below works today — one plan, everything included, for every business.

  • Tips through payroll — taxed correctly, never inflating vacation pay.
  • Hourly + overtime — per-person wages, time-and-a-half handled.
  • Stat holiday pay — worked out from real pay history. Alberta, BC and Ontario each have their own method, and we use the right one.
  • Vacation pay — paid out each cheque or saved up; your choice per person.
  • Pay stubs — one clear PDF per person, ready to hand out.
  • Goodbyes handled — leaving dates recorded, so the paperwork is ready when you need it.

What we don't do (yet)

We'd rather tell you now than surprise you later. PayRoar gets every number and document ready for you — moving the money is still yours to do.

  • No direct deposit. You pay your team from your own bank (e-transfer or cheque) using the net pay on each stub.
  • No automatic CRA payments. We tell you exactly how much to send each month; you make the payment yourself.
  • No T4 filing yet. At year-end we fill in every employee's T4 for you; filing is still yours to do. Copy the numbers into the CRA's free online filing tool or hand the slips to your accountant.
  • Alberta, BC and Ontario only, for now.

Make your next payday the easy one.

Set up your company in one sitting. When payday comes, you'll enter the hours, hand out the stubs and be done before your coffee goes cold.
