Payroll & Tips
Hours and tips, ready for payroll — without the scramble.
Clock-ins, breaks, and tip pools calculate on their own and export clean to Gusto, ADP, Toast Payroll, or a CSV, so payroll day takes minutes, not an afternoon.
The problem:
Tips get tallied by hand, hours get copied from one system to another, and every pay period ends in a reconciliation scramble where the numbers never quite agree.

Key capabilities:
Tip pools that calculate themselves. Set your pools and tip-out rules once; Palate does the math every shift.
Accurate hours. Clock-ins, breaks, and overtime are captured as they happen, with a clean audit trail.
One-click payroll export. Send hours and tips straight to Gusto, ADP, Toast Payroll, or download a CSV for any provider.
Keep your payroll provider. Palate prepares and exports — you don't have to switch who runs your payroll.


How it connects:
Because scheduling, time tracking, and tipping all live in Palate, payroll exports pull from data that already reconciles, so there’s nothing to enter by hand.
