Scheduling, tips & correct payroll — for hospitality.

Paper schedules and guessed-at payroll don't scale.
Small hospitality venues still run on group chats, printed rotas and a shoebox of tip slips. Gastro replaces all of it — and gets the money right.
Cafés & bars
Fast rota changes, cover requests, and tip tracking for a small, shift-heavy team.
Restaurants
Groups for front and back of house, positions per shift, and correct overtime on busy weeks.
Hotels & resorts
Housekeeping and F&B under one roof, with room-charge tips attributed to the right guest and staff.
One app for scheduling, attendance, tips and pay.
Schedule in minutes
Build the week on a simple grid. Copy last week, get demand hints, and publish — staff see their shifts on their phone instantly.
Works offline
NFC tap check-in/out keeps working when the Wi-Fi drops in the back of house, then syncs the moment you're back online.
Tips done right
Staff log card and room-charge tips at the end of a shift — method, currency, last-4 — so nothing is lost or guessed at payout.
Payroll that's correct
Ontario ESA overtime, holiday & vacation pay plus CRA T4127 deductions — verified to the cent against the CRA calculator.
Groups & positions
Organize staff into bar, servers, housekeeping — and let a manager schedule just their group and its positions.
Your team's language
Every shift, notification and pay statement in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese or Korean — each person picks their own.
Early wage access
Let staff draw earned-but-unpaid wages between paydays. You pay directly; it's recouped automatically on the next stub.
In-language alerts
Schedule published, shift reminders, missed check-ins and paystub-ready notices — sent in each employee's language.
Payroll that's actually correct — not "close enough".
Most tools hand you hours and let your accountant sort out the rest. Gastro implements the real rules and proves it: the engine reproduces the CRA's own Payroll Deductions calculator to the cent before any pay statement is marked official.

The manager portal and every staff-facing message — shifts, reminders, pay statements — adapt to each person's choice.
