PeopleBridge for small business owners

One app for scheduling, time clock, onboarding, and payroll exports.

Built by a 3-location restaurant operator who got tired of Homebase's per-location pricing and a Sunday-night spreadsheet for the tip pool. Now I run all 3 of my stores on it, and so do a growing handful of clinics, coffee shops, and gyms.

Drag-and-drop scheduling

Build next week's schedule in 10 minutes. AI flags conflicts, overtime, time-off violations before you publish. Works on mobile for the on-the-go manager.

📍

GPS time clock

Geofence per location (50–500 ft radius). Multi-location staff auto-route to the closest store. Optional photo capture at clock-in. No more buddy-punching.

📜

Digital onboarding (W-4, I-9, direct deposit)

New hire signs everything on their phone before day one. SSN + bank info encrypted, masked display. AI extracts data from license + voided check photos.

🍦

Toast / Square / Clover integration

Sales, tips, tax, applied discounts pulled in real-time. Built-in tip pool calculator distributes pools pro-rata by hours worked. CPA-ready monthly tax reports.

🔄

Shift trades + open shifts

Servers swap shifts from their phone. Open shifts go to the right person first based on availability, hours so far, acceptance history. No more group-text chaos.

🏖️

Time-off requests + blackout dates

Employees request from their phone. Partial-day support. Blackouts for holidays auto-deny conflicting requests. Schedule auto-blocks approved days off.

💬

Team messaging + announcements

In-app DMs and per-location announcements replace group texts. Compliance-friendly (auditable, not in someone's personal phone). Per-location targeting.

📤

Payroll exports

One-click CSV exports to QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, Paychex with hours, OT at 1.5×, gross wages. Your bookkeeper stops chasing time cards every other Friday.

🤖

12 AI features (all included)

Schedule from a sentence. Pre-publish OT predictor. Smart open-shift ranking. Demand forecasting from POS history. All included. No per-prompt billing.

What makes this different from Homebase / 7shifts / When I Work

  • Built by an operator, not a startup that's never run a restaurant. I'm the franchisee of 3 Paciugo locations and I built it because I couldn't find a tool I'd actually pay for.
  • Multi-location math. $1 per active employee/mo + $10 per location/mo — everything included. A 3-location, 30-employee shop runs about $60/mo. Compare to Homebase Plus at ~$100/mo per location.
  • POS integration without lock-in. Native Toast, Square, Clover, Stripe. Use any payroll provider you want (Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks, Paychex).
  • AI included, not metered. All 12 features baked in. No tiers, no per-prompt billing.
  • A free first month that's actually useful. 1 location, up to 10 employees, no credit card. Get fully up and running before you pay anything.
