FAQ
Payroll is one of the most complex and critical aspects of running a restaurant, touching everything from labor costs to compliance. This FAQ explores payroll best practices, including tip reporting, overtime rules, multiple pay rates, and integrations with POS, scheduling, and time-clock systems. You’ll also learn how R365 simplifies payroll for managers, supports multi-unit growth, and stays compliant with tax and labor law changes through timely updates and advisory services.
What is a good payroll percentage for a restaurant?
A healthy restaurant payroll percentage is usually 25–35% of sales, with QSRs on the lower end and full-service or fine dining on the higher end. Staying in this range helps keep prime costs within the recommended 60–65% for profitability.
How exactly do you support tip reporting, tip pooling, tip credits, and associated tax reporting?
R365 automates tip management by importing tips from the POS, mapping them to payroll, and ensuring they’re reported as taxable income. Tip Automation handles pooling and distribution based on hours or roles, while payroll modules manage tip credit compliance with wage laws. All reported tips flow into payroll and tax reporting, reducing errors and ensuring IRS and state compliance.
Which POS, scheduling, time-clock systems does R365 integrate with out of the box, and how reliable are those integrations?
R365 integrates out of the box with major POS systems like Toast, Aloha, Micros, Square, Brink, Clover, Revel, and Lightspeed, as well as time-clock and scheduling tools. These integrations pull in sales, labor, discounts, and tenders, and some even support schedule writeback. Reliability is generally strong, but the depth of data and features varies by POS, and setup requires proper mapping and configuration.
How does the software support growth or chain operations?
R365 supports chain growth by consolidating accounting and reporting across locations while still giving detailed store-level visibility. It standardizes processes like inventory, payroll, and budgeting, and uses multi-location groups to manage regions or brands consistently. With strong integrations and intercompany automation, it makes adding new units faster and more efficient.
Is it easy for managers to run payroll? What oversight or checks are built in?
R365 makes payroll easy for managers by pulling in POS labor data and letting them approve timecards, tips, and schedules before running payroll in a few steps. Oversight is built in through audit trails, exception reports for issues like overtime or missing punches, and role-based permissions. This ensures payroll is simple to run while staying accurate and compliant.
How do you handle multiple pay rates, role switching during shifts, shift differentials, and overtime rules (daily & weekly)?
R365 supports multiple pay rates and role switching by applying the correct rate when employees work different jobs in the same shift. It can also handle shift differentials like late-night or holiday premiums and automatically calculate daily and weekly overtime. These rules ensure staff are paid accurately while staying compliant with labor laws.
What support, updates, and compliance advisory services do you offer? How quickly do you push tax/labor law changes?
R365 offers customer support, training resources, and account teams, along with automatic cloud-based updates. Payroll tax tables and labor law changes are pushed quickly, often before they take effect, so calculations stay compliant. Operators also receive alerts and resources to understand the impact of new rules.
