Payroll & HR software for restaurants and cafés

Restaurant payroll runs on hourly shifts, timecards and tips, so pay should come straight from the schedule. Homebase puts scheduling, time clock and payroll together with tips handling, about $85/mo for 6 people. It is weak for salaried teams, and if you already run Square POS, Square Payroll imports timecards and tips from it for about $71/mo.
