Tronc Management, Simplified

Automate your cash distributions. Retain your best talent with instant tips.

Pro-Rata Calculations

Compute split allocations proportionally down to the exact minute. Staff are credited only for the time they were actively checked in, ensuring absolute fairness.

Roster Check-Ins

Front-of-house staff can check in and check out from shifts directly using the floating mobile tab bar dashboard. Managers oversee active shift members in real-time.

Direct Connect Payouts

Tips are collected directly to the venue's connected Stripe account and routed to bank accounts daily. PayPinz takes no cuts from tips—only flat subscription license fees.

Three Flexible Tipping Splits

Choose the tronc rules that fit your venue's structure.

1

Equal Split

100% of shift tips are divided equally among all active front-of-house members checked in during the shift.

2

Pro-Rata Split

Recommended. Splits tips proportionally based on the minutes each worker spent checked-in, matching part-time hours.

3

Manual Split

Allows the manager to type manual percentages for each member on the roster at the end of the shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find out about tax compliance, card scanners, and platform pricing.

How is compliance handled for HMRC tronc regulations?

Because PayPinz never routes tips through the employer's business bank account (they go directly to connected Express accounts or platforms), the platform complies with standard tronc guidelines, reducing National Insurance liability.

Can we assign tables to specific badges?

Yes. You can place stationary table-top QR stands. When scanned, tips pool into the active venue shift and route based on active splits, or route directly to assigned staff if configured.

What are the pricing plans for restaurants and venues?

Hospitality venues operate on our Organisation Plan, which carries a simple license fee per active staff seat. Payouts and Connect setups are fully included. View our homepage pricing grid or contact support for bulk options.
