Dashboard & Point-of-Sale

Payroll Report Summary Metrics

Your Payroll Report just got a major upgrade! The new summary view highlights total employees, hours worked, overtime, and compensation—automatically calculated for you.

Store Job Codes and Payroll IDs

Now you can add and save Job Codes and Payroll IDs to keep employee and role data consistent across systems. Payroll IDs act as unique identifiers, while Job Codes track hours and pay by role.

Why it matters: Say goodbye to manual reconciliation, minimize payroll errors, and keep your labor data accurate and aligned.

Learn more or set up your job codes and payroll IDs.

Breaks, your way: Customizable Breaks

Create, track, and manage paid or unpaid breaks directly in the time-clock. All break activity is logged in labor reports for easy oversight.

Why it matters: Accurate break tracking supports compliance, saves time on record-keeping, and keeps your team’s break data consistent.

Tip Pool Rules

Tip Pool Rules allow you to configure automated tip calculations for your team. Rules can be based on attendance, hours worked, or order handling, ensuring consistent tip allocation without manual calculations.

Why it matters: Manually calculating tips is time-consuming and prone to errors. Tip Pool Rules automate the process, maintain accurate historical data, and ensure employees are compensated correctly according to your policies.

Fixed-Price Item Discounts

You can now set fixed prices for select menu items during scheduled promotions in Express. This makes it easy to run popular specials like $5 margaritas, $2 draft beers, or other time-based, fixed-rate Happy Hour offerings. During the scheduled window, the fixed price automatically overrides the item’s base price.

Why it matters: Fixed-price specials are a proven way to drive traffic and boost sales during key hours. This new discount option gives you more control and flexibility, making your Happy Hour promotions easier to set up and more consistent for your team.

Percentage-Off Item Discounts That Apply to Modifiers

You can now apply %-off item discounts to an item’s priced modifiers in Express. This makes it easy to run %-based promotions on drinks and other items where pricing is driven by modifiers.

Why it matters: This update makes %-based Happy Hour discounts work seamlessly for items with modifier-driven pricing, like drinks with size options—ensuring accurate pricing and smoother ordering for your team.
