Payroll for restaurants
Avos is payroll software for restaurants and bars: it calculates proportional salary, vacation and severance on every hire and termination, applies overtime and night-shift premiums with each country's income tax and social contributions recalculated on the total, and emails every payslip in the employee's currency. With departments (dining room, kitchen, bar, delivery) you see people costs per area, and every legal entity has its own payroll in the same account.
Payroll for restaurants, solved
High turnover, schedules that change every week, overtime and night shifts. A restaurant's payroll is never the same as last month's, which is exactly why it cannot live in a spreadsheet.
Hires and terminations every month
Food service has one of the highest turnover rates of any industry, in every country. Every hire and departure triggers proportional salary, accrued vacation and severance, and every mistake becomes a labour claim or a fine.
Avos calculates proportional salary, accrued vacation and severance automatically on hiring and termination, under the rules of the country the employee works in. Income tax and social contributions come out right without anyone opening a rate table.
Overtime and payslips nobody understands
Waitstaff, kitchen and cashiers close the month with hours that differ from their contracts. When the payslip arrives wrong, or does not arrive at all, the hard conversation happens in the middle of service.
Enter the month's hours and the payroll recalculates everything on the spot, premiums included. Each employee receives their payslip by email, in their own currency and language, and checks the history in the employee portal without asking the manager for anything.
Invisible people costs
In a restaurant, people are the biggest cost after ingredients. Without visibility by area, you only find out the dining room is expensive when cash gets tight.
With departments (dining room, kitchen, bar, delivery) and cost-per-department reports, you see how much of the payroll each area consumes, employer charges and benefits included, and decide with numbers, not impressions.
Frequently asked questions
Does Avos calculate night-shift premiums and overtime for the closing crew?
Yes. You enter the month's overtime and night hours and the system applies the premiums the country requires on top of the base salary, recalculating income tax and social contributions on the total. The amounts come out itemized on the payslip.
I have high turnover. How much work is it to hire and terminate in the system?
Hiring is filling out a registration form; terminating is entering the date and reason. Avos previews and calculates severance, accrued vacation and any year-end bonus the country requires. What usually takes an afternoon in a spreadsheet is done in minutes.
Does it work for businesses with more than one location or country?
Yes. Avos is multi-company and multi-country: each legal entity has its own payroll, employees, currency and reports, and you switch between them in the same account, with no separate logins.
