Compliance & Pay
Restaurant HR And Payroll, Compliant By Default.
Restaurant pay is its own discipline, and Kit runs full payroll and HR with benefits with the rules baked in: tip credits, meal credits, spread of hours and multi-pool tip splits. Tips are calculated by your rules and paid same day or next morning, with banking and payroll powered by Priority Technologies (NASDAQ: PRTH). Staff are not waiting on a cycle and no one is reconciling pools by hand.
Onboarding is automated end to end, including I-9 and W-4 collection, so a new hire is captured correctly the first time and flows straight into payroll and scheduling. California labor law gets the attention it demands. Breaks, final-check timing and tip pooling are watched automatically, and real HR people review the edge cases instead of leaving them to a spreadsheet.
Because Kit owns the general ledger directly, payroll reconciles into the books with no QuickBooks underneath and no second system to keep in sync. A dedicated team of staff accountants, a senior accountant and a relationship manager knows your group by name, onboarding takes about two weeks, and ten years of Restaurant365 history can migrate in roughly 45 minutes. You handle your people; Kit handles the rules.
