Divvy vs Troncbox

Divvy connects restaurant point-of-sale data to tip rules and shows managers and employees how each payout was calculated. It supports Toast, Square, Clover, Heartland, and Shift4 (SkyTab), with CSV import for other data. Tip pools can split evenly or use hours, points, per-role rules, or keep-your-own methods. Automatic tip-outs route shares to support roles using tips or sales, with caps to prevent negative balances. Employees can see tips, hours, pay-period totals, and real-time earnings in the portal and Tip Bank. Managers get date-ranged earnings reports, payroll export, IRS Form 8027 gross-receipts tracking, and a payout audit log. The Hiring Hub supports job postings, applicant tracking, careers pages, and onboarding. Core costs $39 a month per restaurant; Payouts costs $69 a month per restaurant and adds direct deposits through Stripe. A 14-day trial is available. Divvy runs in a browser on desktop and mobile devices; its native iOS app is still in development.

Troncbox is web software for hospitality businesses that calculates, reconciles, and distributes tips and service charges. Allocations can be based on equal shares, hours, points, minimum awards, or a mix of methods. Employees can use a mobile app to view how allocations are calculated, check earnings and history, and access related information. Managers have dashboards, reports, historical data, and analytics on tronc funding and allocations. Listed EPOS integrations include Square Up, Tevalis, PointOne, Lightspeed, Quadrant, and Toast. WMT says it can process payroll or work with other providers, showing wages and tronc on one payslip, and manages tronc arrangements in relation to tax, National Insurance, minimum wage, and employment requirements. The free Troncbox plan is available to WMT Troncmaster Services clients and includes online management, basic reporting, employee access and app, and digitally stored and signed tronc letters. Troncbox Plus is listed at £20 a month, billed +VAT per site, for those clients; its features are marked coming soon. WMT is regulated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. Troncbox is freemium and lists a free plan.
