Payroll for cafes

“Try for free” allows you to discover if Payroller is the right software for you and your business before you commit to our platform. “Try for free” is cost and commitment-free and we do not require any credit card details to sign up. So give Payroller a try, it only takes a few minutes to get set up.

While the Payroller mobile app is completely free – fees will apply to use the Payroller web app, Xero integration, and to make super contributions through our integrated super clearing house (Beam).

You can definitely do your own payroll for your cafe, especially if it’s a small operation with just a handful of staff and straightforward pay structures. But payroll software can be a real lifesaver. It’ll free up your time, minimise errors, and make sure you’re ticking all the boxes with tax regulations. This becomes even more important as your cafe gets busier and your team grows.

The most common and secure method is direct deposit (EFT), transferring wages electronically into employees’ bank accounts. Cash payments might be used for casual staff in some situations, but ensure proper record-keeping for these.

Many cafe staff work split shifts or on weekends and public holidays, which attract penalty rates. Clearly communicate your rostering practices and ensure you’re paying staff according to the relevant award rate for the hours they work. Payroll software can help automate these calculations.

The most important features will depend on the size and complexity of your cafe operation. Consider factors like the number of employees, pay structures, and award rate requirements when selecting payroll software.

If you own a cafe business, the following payroll software features will be useful:

• Timesheets and rosters to accurately record pay, overtime, and penalty rates
• Automated tax and super calculations
• Employee self-service app to allow staff to access payslips and submit leave requests electronically
• Simplified reporting tools for taxes, superannuation, and employee payslips for easy payroll tax compliance

Payroller is an STP-enabled software that automatically submits payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) – through a secure cloud network – whenever you perform a payrun. Payroller helps you to track, manage and record your payroll while safely sharing that information (and staying compliant) with the ATO.

As a truly one-stop payroll solution, you can manage staff roster, invite your accountant, bookkeeper or BAS agent and even make Super contribution (Beam) on Payroller.

Absolutely, you may share your account and even set different access permissions.
