Frequently asked questions
Why UKG for hospitality and food service organizations?
Because we understand your industry. That’s why 77% of Fortune 1000 Hospitality companies use our software. We understand your paint points, too. So you get employee experiences that reduce turnover — such as shift-swapping and flexible pay. You also get access to all your data in one place, gaining real-time visibility into your workforce. And you’ll keep up with rapidly changing laws and best practices.
Why should my hospitality or food services organization use UKG’s payroll solution?
Because precision, speed, and simplicity matter — especially when your teams are spread across locations, shifts, and roles.
- Reduce errors and get time back. Manually calculating tips, multiple pay rates, and varying shifts is time-consuming — and leaves room for costly mistakes. UKG automates complex payroll processes, so your team can focus on guests, not spreadsheets.
- Stay compliant without the stress. Tax laws, wage requirements, and local labor rules vary by city and region. UKG helps you keep up, automatically updating regulations in real time and flagging issues before they become penalties.
- Empower your people with self-service. Whether they’re back of house, front of house, or on the move, employees can access their pay details, update direct deposit, or view past stubs — right from their phone.
- Be audit-ready. Always. With centralized, accurate records and one-click reporting, you’re equipped for audits, tax filings, or just getting ahead of questions before payroll closes.
- Connect your systems, streamline your work. UKG integrates payroll with timekeeping, HR, and scheduling — so updates flow seamlessly and errors get caught before they affect pay.
- Scale without friction. Whether you’re opening a new restaurant, expanding to new markets, or onboarding seasonal staff, UKG payroll scales with your business and simplifies complexity as you grow.
- Protect what matters most. With enterprise-grade security and role-based access, your payroll data stays safe and compliant— giving you and your teams peace of mind.
