How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • Payroll takes you a Sunday
  • You text the schedule every week
  • You hire a dozen people for ten weeks

Questions

What is the best payroll software for a small farm or food business?

Gusto fits most small teams and handles tax filings and seasonal hires well. If you already use Square or QuickBooks, their payroll keeps everything in one place. We set up the one that matches your other tools.

Can it handle piece rates and tips?

Yes. Piece counts and tips are recorded with hours and paid in the same run.

Can seasonal workers be onboarded quickly?

Yes. New hires fill in their paperwork on a phone before the first day, and their records carry over to next season.
