Frequently asked questions
Is Divvy a replacement for Homebase?
It can be, but it does not have to be. Divvy Core is designed to add restaurant-specific tip management while a team keeps Homebase for scheduling and time clocks. Divvy Payouts adds scheduling and hiring when an owner wants to consolidate more of the stack.
Does Homebase handle restaurant tips?
Homebase presents a restaurant payroll workflow that can import tips from a POS, distribute pools by hours worked, and handle tax reporting. Divvy is more focused on the rule detail around tip pools, role-based tip-outs, cash, employee transparency, and the audit trail behind each payout.
Which Homebase plan includes payroll?
The pricing snapshot provided for this page lists payroll as an available add-on across the Homebase tiers rather than as a feature included in the displayed base prices. Confirm the current payroll quote and requirements directly with Homebase.
Can I use Homebase hours with Divvy?
Divvy supports scheduling integrations including Homebase for hours-based tip calculations. Availability and setup depend on the restaurant's provider connection and plan, so verify the current integration path during onboarding.
