Restaurant scheduling FAQ
Connect with one of our restaurant experts to see how it all works.
Homebase Tip Manager lets you pool and distribute tips by hours worked either per pay period or daily. Tips can be synced from Clover or Square or entered manually, then pulled into payroll. You can also track cash and credit tips. (You can include/exclude specific roles in a pool; distribution is still based on hours.)
Yes—Restaurant employees often work multiple roles at different pay rates in the same week—like working as a server at tipped wage one day, then as a host at full hourly the next. Homebase automatically tracks these different rates and calculates overtime correctly across all roles, with no manual payroll adjustments needed.
Yes—Homebase Payroll exports to QuickBooks Online for accounting. After each run you can auto-push journal entries mapped to your chart of accounts. (QuickBooks Desktop isn’t supported.)
Homebase calculates and withdraws your payroll taxes with each run and files federal, state, and local returns on the required schedule—no deadlines or forms to chase.
Yes—You can run payroll across multiple locations under the same FEIN, and Homebase tracks overtime across locations. We also handle federal, state, and local payroll tax filings and support state reciprocity where applicable. (Pricing varies—see Payroll Fees for details.)
Yes—Homebase enforces your state overtime rules (including cross-location overtime) and provides Breaks & Compliance tools that remind you of missed breaks and can automatically add penalties where required.
Homebase connects your scheduling and POS data so you can see where labor costs actually go — in fact, Butter Baker saved 20% on labor costs once they started using Homebase!
You can run reports to spot overstaffing, use sales forecasts to predict busy or slow periods, and schedule based on real numbers instead of guesses. Our schedule builder also flags overtime as you add shifts, and you’ll also see an overtime alert if a requested shift swap could push an employee into overtime.
Connect your POS system like Square or Clover so credit-card tips sync into Tip Manager, then pool and distribute by hours worked before you run payroll. You can also record cash tips for accurate taxes.
Sync your POS with Homebase to optimize your schedule based on your sales.
