FRIDAY

FRIDAY is an all-in-one payroll and HR platform designed specifically for small business owners with 1 to 100 employees.

The platform enables you to run full-service payroll in seconds, paying both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors via direct deposit or check. It handles hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements while fully automating federal, state, and local tax filings including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings.

The platform syncs seamlessly with QuickBooks, Xero, and other accounting software, and you can manage your entire team on the go from any device. Whether you run a restaurant, retail shop, salon, contracting business, medical practice, or growing startup, FRIDAY replaces the chaos of spreadsheets, timesheets, and expensive payroll services with one simple, affordable app. With no contracts, no onboarding fees, and the ability to cancel anytime, FRIDAY is built to remove the friction from managing your team.

Full-Service Payroll Processing

Run payroll in seconds with a system that handles all employee types. Pay W-2 employees and 1099 contractors via direct deposit or check, manage hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements effortlessly. The platform automatically calculates and files federal, state, and local taxes, including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings. This eliminates manual calculations and the risk of costly tax errors, giving you back hours every pay period.

AI-Powered Time Tracking with Kiosk App

Track employee hours accurately with FRIDAYs built-in time tracking system. The AI-powered clock in/out kiosk allows team members to punch in and out from any device, reducing time theft and manual entry errors. Real-time tracking integrates directly with payroll, so hours worked automatically flow into pay calculations. This feature is ideal for businesses with hourly workers, such as restaurants, retail shops, and service providers.

PTO and Time-Off Management

Simplify leave management with automated PTO tracking and time-off requests. Employees can request vacation, sick days, or personal time directly through the platform, and managers can approve or deny with a single click. The system automatically updates available balances and integrates with payroll to ensure accurate deductions. This eliminates the back-and-forth of email chains and spreadsheet tracking.

Integrated Team Communication

Keep your entire team connected with built-in communication tools. Send announcements, share updates, and facilitate conversations without switching between apps. This feature centralizes all team interactions within the payroll and HR platform, reducing information silos and ensuring everyone stays informed. Combined with mobile access, you can manage communication on the go from any device.

Restaurant and Hospitality Management

Restaurant owners face the daily challenge of tracking hourly staff, managing tips, and handling shift changes. FRIDAY solves this by combining time tracking with payroll processing. Employees clock in via the AI kiosk, their hours sync directly to payroll, and the system handles complex wage calculations including tips and overtime. This eliminates the need for separate time clocks and manual data entry, saving hours each week.

Retail and Salon Operations

Retail shops and salons often juggle a mix of full-time, part-time, and commission-based employees. FRIDAY simplifies this by supporting multiple pay structures within one platform. Owners can run payroll for hourly employees, salaried managers, and 1099 contractors simultaneously. The integrated PTO management ensures staff can request time off without disrupting schedules, and the mobile app allows owners to approve requests from anywhere.

Contracting and Construction Businesses

Contractors and construction companies rely on a mobile workforce that works at different job sites. FRIDAYs mobile apps and kiosk feature enable workers to clock in and out from any location using their phones. The platform tracks hours by project, integrates with accounting software like QuickBooks, and handles 1099 filings for subcontractors. This eliminates paper timesheets and ensures accurate billing and payroll.

Growing Startups and Medical Practices

Startups and medical practices need scalable HR solutions that grow with them. FRIDAY provides a foundation for onboarding new employees, managing benefits, and running payroll as the team expands. The automated tax filings and accounting integrations reduce administrative burden, allowing founders and practice managers to focus on their core business. The simple interface means new hires can be set up in minutes without training.
