Works & pay
Saturday’s pay run is a list — not a reconstruction.
A hospitality bolt-on: track trades you hire for the pub or hotel — what you need to pay them, how much, and what has already been paid.
Contractors & contracts
Workers, jobs, and rates in the cloud. We can get you set up.

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.
How it goes in
Stage by stage — not a six-month programme
The enterprise suites sell a long project and a project team. We walk the house, put the first module in, and you see it running. Then it is a monthly direct debit, and the next job waits until you need it.
01
On site or Zoom
Walk the house
The week as it actually runs — till, diary, paperwork, who does what. We say what to put in first.

Contractors is the start on this page. We set it up around the house you already run.

04
Recurring and modular
Go live on monthly direct debit
Pay monthly by UK direct debit for the modules you use. Extra modules are cheaper the more of the suite you run.
You getOne module live. The rest wait.
05
When you need it
Add the next job
Heating, paperwork, payroll, rooms, scans, contractors — the next pain, not the whole catalogue at once.
You getThe week gets lighter, one job at a time.
That is the implement path. Not a project team, and not six months before anyone logs in.
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.
We’ll set you up

Plans are modular and recurring, billed monthly by UK direct debit. We can get you set up. Extra modules are discounted the more you use.
