Payroll For Restaurants

The restaurant industry is a precious industry and one that needs the upmost support during COVID.

 

Kerr Payroll is supporting local restaurants by providing discounted payroll services and promoting local ordering from small business restaurants in the Fresno, CA and Clovis, CA region of California.

​

Kerr Payroll also understands the negative impact non direct food orders have on your restaurant's business. You lose up to 30% when customers choose to order food from you through 3rd party ordering services. Unfortunately this has become a convenient trend for the younger generation and we intend on doing our part to give back to the food industry and promote direct ordering.

 

The restaurant business has many moving parts, and staying on top of regulations, taxes and safety, are key to your local restaurant's success. With all of the complexities involved with running a restaurant, there’s a good chance you are looking for some help, especially with your restaurant payroll. The most common payroll items to be aware of when running a restaurant, are minimum wage laws and properly paying tipped employees. Additionally, it’s important to note that most employees are going to be classified as non-exempt, which means they will be eligible for overtime wages as well.

​

When searching for a restaurant payroll service, you want to be sure that you’re choosing a company that can help you stay compliant with all of the restaurant-specific tax complexities.

​

At Kerr Payroll Solutions in Fresno, CA you will have access to:

• Minimum Wage Alerts: we can notify you when employee wages and/or tips do not reach the minimum wage requirements, providing you with helpful tips-to-minimum verification to help you stay compliant.

• FICA Tip Credit Report: calculates and tracks just how much you are entitled to claim on your annual business taxes for this credit, potentially leading to substantial tax savings.

• Tip Sign-Off Report: provides written proof of employees' tips received and declared, which can help keep you in compliance with government regulations.

• Makeup tips: used to ensure that an employee has been paid at least the minimum wage. This is added to the sum of the employees’ base wage pay, tips, and commission to match the federal minimum wage rate.

 

In addition to specific restaurant payroll support, when using Kerr Payroll, you will also have access to the following to make running your business a little easier:

• Free mobile payroll app. Running a restaurant can mean operating at all kinds of hours, from early mornings to late nights. With our free mobile payroll app, you can process your payroll from the palm of your hand, through the cloud or submit hours directly via email or fax so that you can continue the smooth operations of your restaurant.

• Night and weekend hours.

• Flexible payroll options. At Kerr Payroll, we understand that situations come up, and you might need a little flexibility, which is why we have several flexible payroll options. For most customers, our standard payroll period has a two-day processing window, which is shorter compared to the industry average of a four-days. We also offer even more expedited payroll processing in the form of same-day and next-day payroll, for the times you forget to process or have a last minute situation, such as a final paycheck for an employee. When mistakes arise, you have the option to cancel your payroll, and for a payroll schedule that isn’t going to change, you can set payroll on cruise control with auto payroll.
