Restaurant Tip Management
Stop doing tip math on Sunday nights.
Geofence technology detects when someone clocks in from the parking lot or leaves without punching out.
- Import tips from your POS, split them across your team based on hours or role, and eliminate tip disputes entirely.
- Track tipped wages and ensure correct minimum wage based on federal, state, and local laws—no manual adjustments needed.
- Every tip gets tracked and reported properly so your team gets accurate W-2s without you reconciling tip data at year-end.

Multi-Location Restaurants
Run payroll for every location in one place.
Homebase syncs all your restaurants into one system so you run payroll once—not separately for each location.
- Track hours for team members covering different restaurants, apply overtime rules, and handle multi-state tax withholding.
- Set up multiple wage rates per employee once—server, bartender, manager—and Homebase applies the correct rate automatically.
- Calculate federal, state, and local payroll taxes for each location, then file and deposit them automatically every pay period.
