More and more restaurants are moving to paperless payroll.  The technology is proven and just like any new technology, once people see the benefits, they jump on board.

Going paperless sounds scary and unfamiliar, but it is really easy and simple.  Just like going from a manual cash register to a cloud-based POS system, the advantages far outweigh the perceived disadvantages.  Once owners see how it works and the time they save, they would not think of going back to the old system.

Paperless payroll is a cloud-based system meaning it can be accessed anywhere and anytime you have an internet connection.  Employees get paid either by direct deposit to their bank or via a Paycard which is basically a debit card.  Journals, current payroll and payroll history is available for you to view or print via a secured website 24/7.   You can even access your payroll on your cell phone.  Email reminders go to you to let you know payroll is done.  Mailing and postage fees are eliminated.  Physical checks are eliminated.  And you having to be physically at your restaurant on payday is eliminated.

It is simple to set up.  Kallas will do all the follow-up work necessary and provide notices to employees.  We will walk you through the process until you are completely comfortable.
