Between managing seasonal staff, juggling peak times and handling multiple locations, it’s true what they say about working in hospitality: “Every second counts!” So anytime you spot a chance to recover precious seconds in your day, you’ve gotta grab it – and fast.

Today, we’re answering questions about one of the easiest ways to save time: integrations!

1. How can hotels, restaurants and event venues save time on payroll?
2. How does payroll integration help hospitality businesses?
3. How does Payworks integrate with QuickBooks Online?

## How can hotels, restaurants and event venues save time on payroll?

Integrating your payroll with other business processes is a surprisingly simple (and effective!) way to save time. Not only are you eliminating the hassle of rekeying the same data in multiple spots; you’re also avoiding losing even more time down the road correcting any inevitable human error.

We offer several integrations – like [QuickBooks Online](https://www.payworks.ca/about-us/media/article/2023/07/12/payworks-introduces-new-journal-data-integration-with-intuit-quickbooks-online?utm_source=payworks&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=FAQ:%20Do%20we%20have%20an%20integration%20with%20Intuit%20QuickBooks%20Online?%20Yes!&utm_term=) – because we know the positive difference they can make for [payroll professionals](https://blog.payworks.ca/tag/payroll-resources?hsLang=en-ca), [business owners](https://blog.payworks.ca/tag/business-owner?hsLang=en-ca), and financial departments alike! Journal entry integrations, like the one between [Payworks](https://www.payworks.ca/?utm_source=payworks&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=FAQ:%20Do%20we%20have%20an%20integration%20with%20Intuit%20QuickBooks%20Online?%20Yes!&utm_term=) and QuickBooks Online, can help bring you peace of mind (and again, that’s at no additional cost!) that your accounting is aligned and compliant.

## How does payroll integration help hospitality businesses?

If you’re in hospitality, dealing with fluctuating staff numbers, varying pay rates, and compliance requirements is just par for the course. Integrations ensure that every shift and overtime hour is accurately captured and reflected in both payroll and accounting records. This not only improves accuracy (and lets your team know they can count on you!); it also boosts transparency for audits and reporting.

## How does Payworks integrate with QuickBooks Online?

Our journal entry integration with [QuickBooks Online](https://www.payworks.ca/solutions/integrations/quickbooks-integration?utm_source=payworks&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=FAQ:%20Do%20we%20have%20an%20integration%20with%20Intuit%20QuickBooks%20Online?%20Yes!&utm_term=) provides a streamlined user experience that links our clients’ payroll platform (that’s us!) to their accounting software (in this case, QuickBooks Online). This allows for the journal entries related to payroll to flow directly from Payworks to QuickBooks Online in one simple click – yep, seriously.

Ultimately, an integration creates a connected ecosystem of support so that you can focus on growing your business. By linking your payroll system with an accounting software like QuickBooks Online, you free up time, reduce mistakes, and gain the clarity needed to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Oh, and did we mention that with Payworks, it’s all supported by a dedicated, National Payroll Institute-trained Client Service Representative?

> *“I remember very vividly when we started at Payworks back in 2012 after converting from \[our previous payroll solutions provider\] – we’ve never looked back. The system is awesome and self-explanatory, and above all, the support from the team is above and beyond. Our Client Service Representative troubleshoots any challenges and queries at lightning speed.”*
