I use Toast Payroll: Ask Me Anything!

[Grillbird]

Hello Toast Community, 

My name is Matt and I’m the owner of Grillbird located in Seattle, WA! I switched to Toast Payroll over 2 years ago and it’s been a really easy experience for us. I (and my CPA) was hesitant at first to make the switch, but we've never had any issues and it's made so many aspects of payroll from onboarding to making adjustments so much easier. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns if you are thinking about making the switch.

What did you use before switching? We're currently on Gusto and have liked it pretty well, but are considering Toast payroll.

I am in the process of switching and come from Homebase.  The process so far has been streamlined!  Toast handles everything and has walked me through different stages.  Patience has been all I needed, process is 3-4 weeks.  I go Live November 8th.  I opted for basic Sling (free) instead of Pro and am happy so far.  Saving about $100 a month after  free promotional that ends in April 2025.

Honestly I don't remember as our CPA handled everything, but the old fashion way...there  was no online onboarding, no dashboard for managing employees, etc...We would scan W2's and I9 forms and email them to be onboarded. 

Am online payroll provider is better than the manual way for sure, however you gain some ease of use with it already being integrated into Toast, time entries and tipping - it's all connected and seamless.
