What every restaurant owner is tired of

Servers swap shifts in group texts. You find out Monday that Wednesday is a coverage gap.
Tip pool math takes 2 hours every week. Then someone disputes it and you re-do it anyway.
Toast and your schedule don't talk. You're cross-referencing sales reports and shift hours by hand.
Multi-location servers clock in at the wrong store. Payroll lands in the wrong P&L bucket.
W-4 and I-9 paperwork lives in a binder. Or worse, in someone's inbox. Auditors don't love that.
Per-location plans add up fast. Homebase lists Plus at $70 per location/mo billed monthly (as listed on its website, October 2026).

Built for the way restaurants actually run

Every feature ships with the assumption that you're running a 5–40 person shift with a real POS in the front of house. Weighing your options? Read PeopleBridge vs 7shifts and PeopleBridge vs Homebase.

🍴

Toast tip pool calculator (Pro)

Per-location, per-pay-period pool, distributed pro-rata by hours from the time clock. Lock & Pay snapshot + payroll CSV. Owner phantom hours configurable.

📊

CPA-ready sales tax reports (Pro)

Monthly tax breakdown straight from Toast. Net, gross, tax, tip, applied discounts — split by location. Your CPA stops asking for screenshots.

📍

GPS clock-in per location

Configurable geofence per store (50–500 ft). Free warns and flags out-of-fence punches; Pro can block them, with a manager override. Multi-location servers auto-route to the closest store.

🔄

Shift trades + open shifts

Servers request a swap or post a shift as open from the mobile app. Push notifications at every step. Manager approval optional.

📝

W-4 + I-9 + direct deposit onboarding (Pro)

Five-step wizard. SSN and bank account encrypted, only last-4 visible. AI extracts data from a license or voided check upload.

📤

QuickBooks / Gusto / ADP exports (Pro)

One-click payroll-ready CSV with hours, OT at 1.5×, and gross wages. Direct integrations to QuickBooks Online, Gusto, and Paychex are on the roadmap.

Restaurant operator FAQ

The questions we get every demo.

Does PeopleBridge integrate with Toast?
Yes — Toast is the deepest integration we offer. Real-time sales, tips, tax, applied discounts, server-level reporting, weekly tip pool with pro-rata distribution, and CPA-ready monthly tax exports. We currently process ~19,000 orders per year across our active locations. The Toast integration is part of Pro. Square and Clover are built in too (Pro), with the same sales, tips, tax and tip-pool data. Don't see your POS? Our engineering team will build a custom integration for your store with dedicated 1-on-1 onboarding for a flat $199. QuickBooks Online, Gusto, and Paychex Flex are on the integrations roadmap.
How does the tip pool calculator work?
The tip pool is a Pro feature. Per-location, per-pay-period pool. Tips ingested directly from Toast for the period are distributed pro-rata by hours worked from the time clock. Owner gets a configurable "phantom" tip share for back-office hours. Lock & Pay snapshots freeze the math; you export a payroll-friendly CSV. The pool reconciles to the penny.
Can servers swap shifts on their phone?
Yes. Servers request a trade or post the shift as "open" from the mobile app. Open shifts go to the eligible employees you choose; the first qualifying responder claims it (or the manager approves). Push notification at every stage so you don't live in group texts.
Does it handle multi-location operators?
Yes, on Pro (the Free plan covers 1 location). Managers can be scoped to specific locations. Employees can be assigned to one or many stores. The system auto-routes a clock-in to the closest geofence so multi-location servers don't accidentally punch in at the wrong store. Owners see roll-up reporting across all locations.
What does it cost for a 3-location restaurant?
More than one location needs Team or Pro. Team is $29/mo for the first location and 30 employees, +$10 per extra location, so 3 locations with 30 employees is $49/mo. Pro is $2 per employee/mo + $10 per location/mo, with every feature — including the Toast integration, tip pool, payroll exports and all AI — so the same restaurant is $60 + $30 = $90/mo on Pro. Every employee with a profile counts, including owners and managers. A single location with up to 10 employees can stay on Free at $0. For reference, Homebase lists its Plus plan at $70 per location/mo billed monthly. Competitor prices as listed on their websites, October 2026. Check their sites for current pricing.
Can I import my schedule from 7shifts or Homebase?
Yes — bulk CSV import is included on Free. Export your team and historical hours from any tool, upload, and you're live. We don't auto-migrate schedules themselves (those are usually rebuilt anyway when teams switch), but everyone's name, email, phone, pay rate, and location assignments come over.
