Owed versus paid
Advances already taken off. Mark paid.
Who it is for
Pubs, hotels, and hospitality sites that hire trades for maintenance or works — one site or a small group.
Different contractors, different works
Day-rate people and fixed-price jobs sit in the same week. You can see who was where without a stack of texts and invoices.
What you need to pay — and how much
The week shows net due, advances, and what has already been paid. Saturday’s pay run is a list, not a reconstruction.
Sites and jobs
Work is logged against a pub, hotel, or job, so you can see the cost of a site as well as a person.
A phone-sized weekly rhythm
Record a day, enter the week, make the payment. Built for people who are on site, not in an accounts office all afternoon.
Questions people ask
- Is this for PAYE staff or contractors?
- Contractors and contract works — day rates, fixed jobs, advances, and payments. Staff payroll is a separate product.
- Can it handle more than one site?
- Yes. Workers and jobs are set up per site or job, then rolled into the week’s pay picture.
- How does it save money?
- Unlogged days, forgotten advances, and paying the same job twice are expensive. A clear owed-versus-paid view is cheaper than sorting it out a month later.
