Hospitality payroll is messy. Software built for offices makes it worse.
High attrition, mixed day-wage + salaried, tips, festival pay multipliers. Here's how we handle it:
Morning + evening service shifts with a 4-hour gap. Hours roll into one daily total; OT computed correctly per state cap. Auto-roster respects weekly off.
Captures tips from POS exports (Petpooja, Posist) or manual entry. Pools by outlet + role weighting (kitchen 20%, service 70%, bar 10% — configurable). Adds to each employee's payslip with TDS u/s 192 on the gratuity portion.
Banquet staff on ₹500/day plus salaried kitchen team — both in one payroll run. Day-wage pulled from attendance; salaried fixed. Single unified payslip per company.
Hospitality crosses the 10-staff ESI threshold fast. We auto-enrol new joiners (UAN + ESIC IP within 30 days) and file the monthly contribution. Inspection-ready Form 6 register always available.
3 cafés in different localities = 3 cost centres + 3 state-PT rates + 1 dashboard. Outlet manager sees only their staff (MANAGER scope); owner sees consolidated. Outlet-wise P&L view.
Waiters / kitchen staff often resign with 7-day notice. FNF settlement (pending salary + leave encashment + gratuity if eligible + asset recovery) generated in one click. Paid out via Razorpay X same-day if needed.
7 working days to first payroll.
Call with owner + ops lead. We learn your outlet count, shift pattern, tip-pool rules, salaried/day-wage mix, and current pain points.
Migrate from Excel/Tally. Configure outlets as cost centres, split-shift rosters, tronc weighting, ESI enrolment for new joiners. POS tip-import connected.
Run all outlets in one cycle. Day-wage + salaried + tips on each payslip. ESI + PF + PT filed. Founder gets summary email, approves.
Field-tested at scale
“Tip-pool reconciliation used to take 3 days. With StafFixHR.com it's automatic monthly, with full audit trail.”

Common questions from F&B owners
We export tips from Petpooja / Posist daily. Does it import?+
Yes — Excel export from any POS works. Service-charge column maps to the tronc pool, then the pool gets distributed by your configured weighting (kitchen / service / bar) at month-end.
Banquet staff on ₹500/day, kitchen on monthly salary. Same payroll?+
Yes — one payroll cycle, mixed roster. Day-wage staff get the daily rate × attended days from punch logs; salaried get the fixed amount. Unified payslip format per company.
Outlet manager should NOT see other outlets' staff data.+
MANAGER role is dept-scoped. Each outlet is one department; manager sees only their team. Owner / HR_ADMIN sees everything across outlets.
What about Diwali / New Year double-pay days?+
Holiday pay multipliers per state (1.5×, 2×, 3× for declared festival shifts). Auto-computed from the holiday calendar. Festival-bonus runs are one-click separate from regular payroll.
My head chef quit with 5-day notice. FNF?+
Same-day. FNF wizard pulls pending salary + leave encashment + gratuity (5-yr-plus only) + asset recovery (knife kit, uniform deposit). Branded settlement PDF emailed; payout via Razorpay X same-day.
ESI inspection coming. Are we ready?+
Form 6 register + monthly ECR receipts auto-archived for 7 years. One-click 'ESI audit pack' export shows every employee's contribution history, UAN, ESIC IP, and joining date. Inspectors typically ask for nothing else.
