Payroll is your biggest expense. Are you tracking it?
Most restaurant owners know labor should be under 30% of revenue. Few can tell you what theirs is today.
You run payroll in Gusto, then manually create a journal entry in QuickBooks every two weeks
Your accountant books payroll as one lump sum instead of breaking out wages, taxes, and benefits
You have no idea what your labor cost percentage is until your accountant tells you at month-end
Payroll taxes and benefits are posted to the wrong accounts, creating reconciliation headaches
You pay someone to do data entry that should happen automatically
SalesToBooks syncs Gusto payroll and posts balanced journal entries — automatically, every pay period.
How It Works
Connect once. Every payroll run posts automatically.
Connect Gusto
Authorize SalesToBooks to read your Gusto payroll data via OAuth. We never see your Gusto password.
Connect your accounting software
Link QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks. We automatically create the right accounts: Wages Expense, Payroll Tax Expense, Benefits Payable, and more.
Payroll runs sync automatically
Every completed payroll run is fetched from Gusto with full details: gross pay, net pay, employee taxes, employer taxes, benefits, and employee count.
Journal entries post to your books
Each payroll run becomes a balanced journal entry with separate lines for wages, taxes, benefits, and net pay. Your labor costs are always current.
What You Get
Payroll in your books, labor costs on your dashboard
Automatic payroll sync
Every Gusto payroll run is fetched automatically. Gross pay, net pay, taxes, benefits, reimbursements, and employee count.
Balanced journal entries
Each run posts as a proper journal entry: wages (debit), employer taxes (debit), net pay (credit), tax payable (credit), benefits payable (credit).
Labor cost tracking
See your labor cost as a percentage of POS revenue. Get alerts when labor exceeds 30% so you can adjust staffing before margins erode.
Works with your accounting
QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks. Accounts are created automatically with the correct types for each provider.
Works alongside POS sync
Payroll syncs independently from your daily POS sales sync. Both post to the same accounting software. One dashboard for everything.
Payroll run history
Full dashboard with every payroll run: check date, pay period, gross, net, taxes, benefits, posted status. Paginated and searchable.
