The problem
Bi-weekly payroll is a four-hour Sunday for the GM. Tips alone take an hour.
Hours come from one system. Tips come from another. Tip pool math gets done in a spreadsheet. The numbers get keyed into payroll software a third time. Errors are guaranteed.
How Mise solves it
Hours from the schedule. Tips from the POS. Pay run on auto-pilot.
Because Mise runs the schedule and the POS, payroll already has every number it needs. The manager approves the run; the system files taxes, pushes direct deposit (or prints checks), and pays tips out — instantly to a debit card if your staff want it that way.

The things operators ask first.
How does Face ID clock-in actually work? +
Staff register their face once during onboarding. From then on, they clock in by looking at any device running Mise — a back-of-house tablet, the host stand, or their own phone if you enable it. The system records who, when, and where. No PINs to share, no buddy punching, no time-card edits the next morning.
Can the same employee work multiple roles at different rates? +
Yes. One employee can be a server on Friday, a line cook on Saturday, and a host on Sunday — each shift paid at the right rate for that role, all on one paystub. The schedule and the POS both know which role they're in for each shift.
How do same-day tip payouts actually work? +
After service closes, Mise reconciles tips from the POS. Staff who opted into instant payouts see funds in their checking account or debit card within 30 minutes. Standard payouts arrive in 2–3 business days. You can also batch tips weekly or roll them into the next paycheck. The policy is yours; the math is automatic.
1099 contractors? +
Run alongside W-2 employees in the same payroll. Year-end 1099s file automatically. Useful for the off-site events team, the bookkeeper, the consulting chef.
Benefits — do you offer plans, or just handle deductions? +
We handle the deductions and the filings; you choose the benefits provider. Most operators bring an existing broker or use one of our partner brokers to set up a plan that fits the team.
Multi-state employees? +
Yes — handles employees across state lines, including reciprocal agreements.
Migration from Gusto / ADP / Toast Payroll? +
We import historical data and run a parallel cycle before cutover so you can verify the numbers match before anyone gets paid.
