Payroll pricing for Summerlin restaurants and service businesses
A ten-person restaurant at Downtown Summerlin usually lands between $249 and $299 per month, flat. That covers unlimited payroll runs, tip reconciliation, quarterly Modified Business Tax, DETR unemployment, federal 941/940, W-2s and 1099s, and workers' comp audit defense. Weekly payroll costs the same as semi-monthly.
Med spas, boutique retail, and personal-training studios sit in the same range. If you're paying per run today, weekly payroll is quietly doubling your bill for identical work.
Tip reporting done properly — POS to W-2
Tips are where Summerlin restaurants get hurt. We pull credit-card tips and tip-pool splits straight from Toast, Square, Clover, or SpotOn, separate mandatory service charges from true tips (they're taxed differently), reconcile declared cash tips, and claim the FICA tip credit on your return. Form 8027 gets filed when your headcount triggers it.
Nevada's two-tier minimum wage depends on whether you offer qualifying health coverage, so we set the correct tier per employee rather than applying one rate across the schedule.
Contractor vs employee in personal services
Med spas, salons, and training studios lean on independent contractors, and that's the single most audited arrangement in this space. Booth rent, commission splits, and set schedules each push a worker toward employee status.
We review every role, document the classification decision, and restructure commission and rent agreements so the answer holds up. Multi-location owners get one consolidated payroll instead of a spreadsheet per suite.
Owner pays first, even in a seasonal business
Summerlin traffic swings with the season and with school calendars. We set Profit First bucket percentages against your slow month, not your best one, so the owner's paycheck clears in February the same way it clears in November.
Tax reserves get swept every run, which means quarterly filings come out of a funded account instead of whatever happens to be in operating.
