Running a quick service restaurant (QSR) franchise in Australia isn't just about serving great food fast - it's also about keeping your back-office operations smooth and compliant. One of the biggest headaches for franchise owners? Payroll. Between award interpretations, tax compliance, and superannuation, it's easy to feel swamped. That's where Abcom's eProphet Payroll software steps in to make life easier.

Built for the QSR Industry

Unlike generic payroll systems, eProphet Payroll is tailor-made for the QSR franchise world. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution - it's designed to handle the unique complexities of hospitality awards, penalty rates, and shift variations. Whether you're running a single store or managing multiple locations, this system has you covered.

Cloud-Based Convenience

Gone are the days of being chained to the office computer. eProphet Payroll is cloud-based, meaning you can access your payroll from anywhere - whether you're at home, on holiday, or checking in from another store. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection. This flexibility is a lifesaver for busy franchisees who are always on the move.

Single Touch Payroll Compliance

Staying on the right side of the ATO is non-negotiable. eProphet Payroll was the first payroll system in Australia to achieve Single Touch Payroll compliance, so you can rest easy knowing your reporting obligations are sorted. Every pay run automatically sends the required data to the ATO, reducing the risk of errors and penalties.

Seamless Integration with Store Systems

One of the standout features is its integration with Abcom's eProphet and eBOS back-office systems. Employee clockings, rosters, and updates flow straight into the payroll system without manual data entry. This means fewer mistakes, less admin time, and more accurate payslips.

Key Features That Make a Difference

Here's what makes eProphet Payroll a top pick for QSR operators:

• - Automatic Payslip Delivery: Payslips are generated in PDF format and emailed directly to staff.

• - Take-Home Pay Calculator: Quickly answer staff queries about their pay.

• - Advanced Labour Calculation Engine: Handles even the trickiest award conditions and penalty rates.

• - Leave Management: Tracks annual leave, sick leave, long service leave, and TOIL with precision.

• - Multi-Account Payments: Employees can split their pay across multiple bank accounts.

• - Superannuation Made Simple: Contributions are calculated and managed automatically.

• - Secure and Reliable: Data is encrypted, and user access is controlled for peace of mind.

Easy Upgrades and Data Conversion

If you're using an older payroll system, upgrading to eProphet Payroll is a breeze. All your historical data - from employee details to payment summaries - can be transferred across without fuss. No need to wait for the end of the financial year.

Reporting That Works for You

From weekly summaries to end-of-year reports, eProphet Payroll delivers comprehensive reporting at the click of a button. Reports can be previewed on-screen, printed, or archived as PDFs for easy access later. Plus, quarterly superannuation reporting and ATO submissions are handled automatically.
