FRIDAY

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

You can pay both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors through direct deposit or paper check. The system handles hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements without any hassle. Beyond payroll, FRIDAY automates all federal, state, and local tax filings, including W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly filings. This means you no longer need to track deadlines or worry about penalties. The platform also includes built-in time tracking with an AI-powered clock in and out kiosk, PTO and time-off management, employee onboarding tools, and integrated team communication. You can sync seamlessly with QuickBooks, Xero, and other accounting software. Whether you run a restaurant, retail shop, salon, contracting business, medical practice, or growing startup, FRIDAY replaces spreadsheets, paper timesheets, and expensive payroll services with one straightforward application. It is designed for people who value simplicity, reliability, and direct support from a team that understands small business challenges.

Full-Service Payroll Processing

Run payroll for your entire team in just a few seconds. FRIDAY handles W-2 employees and 1099 contractors through direct deposit or check. You can manage hourly wages, salaries, bonuses, and reimbursements all from one dashboard. The system automatically calculates deductions, taxes, and net pay so you never have to do the math yourself. This feature eliminates the guesswork and reduces errors that often come with manual payroll.

Automated Tax Filing and Compliance

FRIDAY takes care of all your tax filing obligations at the federal, state, and local levels. It generates and files W-2s, 1099s, and quarterly reports automatically. You do not need to track filing deadlines or worry about late penalties. The system stays current with changing tax regulations so your business remains compliant. This gives you peace of mind knowing that a critical and complex part of running a business is handled correctly.

AI-Powered Time Tracking with Kiosk

Track employee hours accurately with an intelligent clock in and out system. The AI-powered kiosk makes it easy for team members to log their time from any device. This feature eliminates manual timesheets and the errors that come with them. Time data flows directly into payroll, so you never have to re-enter hours or reconcile discrepancies. It is especially useful for businesses with hourly workers in industries like retail, restaurants, and contracting.

Integrated Team Communication

Keep your team connected without needing a separate messaging app. FRIDAY includes built-in communication tools that let you send announcements, share updates, and have conversations right within the platform. This centralizes your team management and reduces the clutter of multiple apps. You can reach everyone quickly, whether you are in the office or on the go from your mobile device.

Restaurant and Food Service Businesses

Restaurant owners often struggle with tracking hourly employees, managing tips, and handling varying schedules. FRIDAY solves these problems by integrating time tracking directly with payroll. Staff can clock in and out using the AI-powered kiosk, and their hours automatically transfer to payroll calculations. The system handles hourly wages, overtime, and tip reporting without extra work. Owners can run payroll in minutes and stay focused on serving customers.

Retail Shops and Boutiques

Retail businesses with part-time staff and fluctuating hours need a reliable way to manage payroll and time off. FRIDAY lets you set up different pay rates for different roles, track employee hours accurately, and manage PTO requests all in one place. The platform syncs with accounting software like QuickBooks and Xero, so your financial records stay organized. You can also communicate shift changes or store announcements through the built-in messaging feature.

Contracting and Construction Companies

Contractors often employ a mix of W-2 employees and 1099 subcontractors. FRIDAY handles both types of workers seamlessly. You can pay your crew through direct deposit or check, and the system automatically generates the correct tax forms for each worker type. The time tracking feature is especially useful on job sites where employees may be at different locations. You can manage everything from your phone, which is critical when you are out in the field.

Growing Startups and Small Professional Practices

Startups and professional practices like medical offices or salons need a scalable HR solution that grows with them. FRIDAY provides employee onboarding tools, time-off management, and team communication from day one.
