Payday

What running payroll looks like here.

What makes payday slow is the work before it. Collecting numbers, checking splits, chasing what a client paid in cash. When the transactions already carry that information, the run itself is short.

  1. The numbers are already there

    Every sale applied its commission split when it happened. Tips are attributed as they’re taken. Nothing needs collecting at the end of the period because nothing was ever left uncounted.

  2. Pick the cycle that fits

    Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, per your shop. Artists on different arrangements and different payment methods can sit in the same run without being handled separately.

  3. Stubs generate themselves

    Each artist gets a breakdown of commissions, tips and deductions, and can pull up their own history in the app.

  4. Money moves, records stay

    Direct deposit sends it. The full history stays queryable for any artist or any period, and exports when your accountant needs the year in one file.

Fewer disputes

One ledger, so nothing disagrees.

Payroll disputes almost always trace back to two systems holding different numbers. Here, commissions and payroll read the same transactions, so there is only one version of what happened.

  • Artists watch earnings accumulate through the period, not just at the end
  • Tips are tracked and distributed by your shop’s policy, not from memory
  • Cash payments are recorded alongside card, so the total is the real total
  • Every stub can be traced back to the individual sales behind it
  • Historical records stay accessible for any artist or any period
  • Payroll data exports for tax time without a rebuild from receipts
