We used to spend every Monday morning fixing last week's schedule and chasing down missing W-4s. With Zimyo, schedules go out Friday night and new hires are set up before they walk in the door. Our GMs actually manage now.

COMMON QUESTIONS

HR Software for Restaurants — FAQs

Does Zimyo handle FLSA tip credit rules automatically?

Yes. Zimyo calculates tip credits, tipped minimum wage, and tip pool distributions automatically based on your state and local rules — and flags any shortfalls before you process payroll.

Can Zimyo handle scheduling for multiple restaurant locations?

Yes. Each location has its own schedule view, but managers and operators can see across all locations from a single dashboard. Policies can be centralized or set per location.

How fast can we onboard a new hire with Zimyo?

Most customers complete the full new hire flow — offer letter, I-9, W-4, direct deposit, and training assignments — in under 24 hours. No paper, no follow-up chasing.

Does Zimyo integrate with our POS system?

Zimyo integrates with major POS and payroll systems. Tip data from your POS can sync directly into Zimyo for automatic tip credit calculations and payroll processing.

How does Zimyo help reduce turnover?

Zimyo surfaces early retention signals — missed check-ins, low engagement scores, stalled performance reviews — so managers can act before someone quits. Structured onboarding and fast pay setup also reduce early attrition.

Can hourly staff access Zimyo on their phones?

Yes. Staff can view their schedules, request shift swaps, clock in/out, check pay stubs, and submit time-off requests from the Zimyo mobile app — no desktop required.
