Troncbox
St Albans, Hertfordshire, England
What it is
Troncbox is web software for hospitality businesses that manage tips and service charges. It automates calculation, reconciliation, and distribution, with allocation rules based on equal splits, hours, points, minimum awards, or a combination. Employees can use a mobile app to review how tips are allocated, check earnings and history, and access information about their allocations. Managers have dashboards, reporting, historical data, and analytics on tronc funding and allocations. Listed EPOS integrations include Square Up, Tevalis, PointOne, Lightspeed, Quadrant, and Toast. WMT says it can process payroll or work with other payroll providers, showing wages and tronc on a single payslip. It also says it manages tronc arrangements in relation to National Insurance, income tax, minimum wage, and employment requirements. The free Troncbox plan includes online tronc management, basic reporting, employee access and app, and tronc letters with digital storage and signing; it is free for WMT Troncmaster Services clients. Troncbox Plus is listed at £20 a month, billed +VAT per site for WMT Troncmaster Service clients, with its features marked coming soon.
