Troncbox review
A focused tronc platform with free core tools, employee access and UK payroll integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Troncbox is software and a managed service for hospitality businesses administering tronc schemes, tips and service charges. It is aimed at restaurants, bars, hotels, pubs, clubs and hospitality groups that need to manage allocations, employee awards, documents and queries. The platform supports web access for administrators and smartphone app access for employees, with role-based permissions and direct communication with the troncmaster.
The free Troncbox plan covers online tronc management, basic reporting, employee access and app features, plus digital tronc letters with storage and signing. Allocation rules can use equal splits, hours, points, minimum awards or combinations of these approaches. Troncbox Plus is listed at £20 per site per month on monthly billing and adds industry benchmarking, detailed reporting, analytics and custom reports. Troncbox Plus with Opsyte combines those features with time and attendance, scheduling, operational management, and revenue, sales and labour analytics.
Its ecosystem fit is a practical strength for hospitality teams: integrations include Opsyte, Deputy, Workforce and Planday, alongside EPOS data integration, payment verification, payroll integration and consolidated payslip support. This makes it suitable for organisations that want allocation workflows connected to existing operational and payroll processes. Teams seeking a focused tronc and tip management service should find the feature set aligned with that need. Businesses primarily looking for a broader workforce or restaurant operations system should consider the Opsyte option or a product centred on those functions instead.
