Rocket Tronc
What it is
Rocket Tronc is a cloud-based platform for distributing tronc across restaurants, bars, pubs, cafés, hotels, and multi-venue groups in the UK and Ireland. Its rules engine handles equal splits, points, hours, roles or seniority, departments, and hybrid arrangements. Before a distribution goes to payroll, a Troncmaster can preview, audit, and approve it. The product describes automatic HMRC rule enforcement, timestamped audit records, independence controls, a live compliance dashboard, and a TRONC policy generator. Employees can see their own breakdowns, and the platform generates statements. Reporting includes live totals, trends, breakdowns, group-level roll-ups, and location detail, with CSV or PDF payroll exports. Listed integrations include RocketOS EPOS, Sona HR, and Xero Payroll; Lightspeed, Fourth, and S4Labour are marked as coming soon. Rocket Tronc can be used on its own or as part of RocketOS. The Free plan covers one location and up to 10 employees; Pro starts at £0.50/mo, billed based on active employees across locations. Its 7-day Pro trial includes all features and requires no credit card.
