It syncs seamlessly with QuickBooks, Xero, and other accounting software, and you can manage your entire team from any device on the go. Whether you run a restaurant, retail shop, salon, contracting business, medical practice, or growing startup, FRIDAY eliminates spreadsheets, timesheets, and expensive payroll services with one simple, affordable app. The platform is backed by top-rated live support, 5-star reviews on Google and G2, and enterprise-grade security with end-to-end encryption, making it the trusted choice for small business owners who value simplicity and reliability.

Full-Service Payroll in Seconds

Run complete payroll for your entire team in just a few taps. FRIDAY handles W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, processes hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements, and supports both direct deposit and check payments. The system automatically calculates and files all federal, state, and local taxes, including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings, so you never miss a deadline or worry about compliance.

AI-Powered Time Tracking with Kiosk App

Track employee hours in real time with FRIDAY's intelligent clock in/out kiosk. The AI-powered system makes it easy for team members to punch in and out from any device, while you get accurate time data that flows directly into payroll. This eliminates manual timesheets, reduces errors, and ensures your team gets paid exactly for the hours they work.

PTO and Time-Off Management

Simplify vacation requests, sick days, and time-off approvals with FRIDAY's built-in PTO management. Employees can request time off directly through the app, and you can approve or deny with a single tap. The system automatically tracks accruals, balances, and usage, so you always know who is available and when. No more spreadsheets or email chains.

Integrated Team Communication

Keep your entire team connected with FRIDAY's built-in communication tools. Send announcements, share updates, and manage conversations all within the same app you use for payroll and HR. This eliminates the need for separate messaging platforms and ensures important information reaches everyone, whether they are in the field, at the shop, or working remotely.

Restaurant and Food Service Operations

Restaurant owners can run payroll for hourly servers, chefs, and managers in minutes, while the AI-powered kiosk tracks clock-ins and clock-outs for shift workers.

Time-off requests for busy weekends are managed effortlessly, and the mobile app lets owners approve schedules and payroll from anywhere.

Retail and Salon Management

Retail shops and salons benefit from FRIDAY's ability to handle both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, such as booth renters or freelance stylists. The time tracking kiosk works perfectly for staff who clock in and out at different stations. Owners can sync sales data with QuickBooks or Xero, manage commission-based pay, and handle PTO requests for part-time and full-time staff with ease.

Contracting and Construction Businesses

Contractors managing crews on multiple job sites can rely on FRIDAY for accurate time tracking and payroll. The mobile app allows workers to clock in from any location, and the system automatically calculates overtime and prevailing wages.
