Signing up for Toast Payroll was the worst decision. Their tax department is a disaster, and there is zero accountability. They failed to reconcile payroll records from my previous provider despite promising they would. W-2s are full of errors, and their support team provides no real solutions. I am seriously considering legal action.
As a small restaurant owner, Toast Payroll has been an effective tool, especially with syncing timesheets from the POS. It's seamless and eliminates double entry, which I used to struggle with. The weekly process is clear, just a few clicks and done. support is quick but resolving more technical issues will take a while. For the price, I expected a more polished experience.
