Key Features of Lavu Payroll:
- Enhanced Profitability: Lavu Payroll is designed to tackle one of the most significant cost centers for restaurants — labor costs, which average 30-35% of total revenue in the foodservice industry. By automating payroll processes and reducing errors, Lavu helps restaurants lower the overall cost of payroll management, directly impacting their bottom line. With costs for payroll services often ranging from $840 to $1785 per month for small businesses, Lavu’s integrated solution eliminates these expenses, allowing restaurant owners to reinvest in their operations or enhance profitability.
- Free Payroll Integration: Lavu customers can now use Lavu’s advanced payroll system, eliminating the cost of third-party services or manual data entry, while expanding profit margins. This integration syncs directly with Lavu’s POS platform, automatically recording employee hours and reducing costly errors as well as real-time payments to restaurant staff.
- Tailored for Restaurants: Designed specifically for the restaurant industry, Lavu Payroll addresses unique payroll needs, including tip management, overtime calculations, and varying wage rates.
