Frequently Asked Questions
How can HCM software help multi-unit restaurants manage labor costs and workforce planning?
PrimePay’s HCM software helps restaurant operators control labor costs by automating time tracking, shift scheduling, and overtime calculations. Real-time insights allow managers to adjust staffing based on sales trends, peak hours, and employee availability, preventing overstaffing and costly labor violations. Integrated payroll and HR ensure accurate labor cost reporting, helping restaurant groups stay on budget while maximizing profitability.
How does payroll software simplify wage calculations and compliance in restaurants?
PrimePay’s payroll software automates complex wage calculations, including hourly rates, overtime, and tip allocations. It ensures compliance with FLSA, predictive scheduling laws, and local labor regulations by accurately tracking hours worked and applying correct pay rates. With automated tax filing and compliance reporting, restaurant operators reduce administrative errors, avoid penalties, and ensure staff are paid accurately and on time.
What key HR challenges in restaurants can HCM software solve?
Restaurant groups face high turnover, compliance complexities, and fluctuating labor demands.

With PrimePay, restaurant leaders can focus on delivering great guest experiences while ensuring a well-managed and compliant workforce.
What is position management in HCM?
Many leading HR software solutions still couple employee and position data together, meaning that HR teams lose important strategic workforce planning data anytime an employee terms. Unlike other HCM software, PrimePay’s position management core architecture keeps the position and employee profile distinct in the platform. This separation enables businesses to easily transfer employee profile information (such as contact details, performance data, and compensation history) across the organization while ensuring position data (like job title, department, and salary range) remains intact, allowing for streamlined employee movement across roles or locations without losing critical position-related information. Additionally, PrimePay’s patented time relational data model enables multi-unit restaurant group managers to effortlessly access updated and accurate staffing data for greater immediate insight into not only turnover rates and vacant positions today, but in the past and future. Track workforce headcount, planned labor costs, and shift coverage to gain real-time insights into labor demands, overtime trends, and staffing adjustments—all from a single platform.
Do restaurant groups typically have dedicated HR teams?
Yes, multi-unit restaurant groups often have dedicated HR teams, either centralized or location-based. These teams oversee recruitment, scheduling, payroll, compliance, and benefits administration, ensuring seamless workforce management across all locations.

PrimePay’s HR software automates key processes like recruitment, onboarding, tip allocation, and benefits management while providing self-service portals for employees. These tools help HR teams focus on strategic growth initiatives, reducing administrative burdens and improving operational efficiency.
How does HR software help restaurants attract and retain skilled workers in a competitive labor market?
