TeamPay review
Low-cost UK payroll with native tronc, variable-hours support and managed options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TeamPay is a UK payroll platform for hospitality operators managing employees across multiple sites, pay schedules and changing rotas. Its feature set covers variable-hours payroll, statutory payments, holiday pay calculations, RTI submissions to HMRC, pension auto-enrolment and employee self-service. Restaurant-specific workflows are central: tronc pooling, allocation rules, distribution and audit trails are built into payroll and payslips, while multilingual payslips and payroll notices support a varied workforce. It is suited to UK restaurants that want low-cost payroll software with hospitality-specific functionality and API access.
Pricing is straightforward across two monthly plans. Payroll software costs £2 per employee per month and includes self-service payroll runs, native tronc and troncmaster functionality, multilingual payslips, Nora AI queries and two-way API access. Managed payroll adds £6 per employee per month, on top of the payroll software features. Payroll specialists prepare and run pay runs, handle RTI and pension submissions, and provide human support for disputes and leavers. The lower-cost plan fits operators comfortable managing payroll processes internally; the managed option is aimed at teams that want specialist administration included.
TeamPay also fits operators with an existing hospitality technology stack. Integrations include Rotaready, Bizimply, Xero, NEST, The People’s Pension and Smart Pension, alongside a two-way REST API and webhooks. Nora provides AI payroll support, while the platform’s core compliance coverage remains focused on UK requirements, including RTI and statutory payments. Restaurants seeking native tip administration, multi-site processing and changing shift support should find the scope relevant. Businesses that need payroll across multiple states or a broader international footprint should choose a platform built for those requirements instead.
