Labor and wage laws change often.
Staff members do too.
CompTable handles both.
The Compliance-Driven Compensation Modeling Platform for Independent Hospitality Business Owners & Operators.
CompTable is a Payroll Modeling Engine built for independent restaurants, breweries, and hospitality business owners & operators — it's synchronized with the federal, state, and local rules that govern your payroll, so you can build your financial plans and develop high-performing teams with total confidence.
Three realities every operator runs into:
Minimum wages and tax credits are a moving target.
Indexed rates, tip credit rules, and FUTA credit reductions vary by state and city, and they change every year.
One wrong assumption can cost you a lot of money.
Missing a local ordinance exposes you to back-pay, penalties, and audits. Build staff retention with confidence.
Spreadsheets don’t know your jurisdiction.
Generic calculators ignore the locality rules that apply specifically to your business.
Compliance is the foundation.
Staff retention and performance are the goals.
You build scenarios that work for your business.
Regulatory Compliance
The CompTable Platform is updated continuously with Federal FLSA regulations, state-indexed minimum wages, FUTA credit reduction schedules, tip credit rules, and local municipal ordinances. Every model scenario you run reflects the rules in force for your specific jurisdiction — not a national average.
CompTable Model Engine
The math is deterministic; the AI is your support team. Accounting functions are handled within our codebase; meaning, your financials are secure, accurate and never touch an AI agent. Our AI layers interpret regulations and labor laws in context, and assist with ingesting and exporting your data. They also process plain language descriptions of your operations to accelerate the model building process.
What runs on the CompTable Platform
A Model Generator with built-in simulators,
unmatched flexibility, tools and templates.
POS and Accounting data integrations.
The Model Generator computes the comparable Pro Forma. The sub-models extend it. The tool runs ad-hoc against the current roster. Templates are pre-built scenarios to start from — every piece runs against your current payroll or any saved scenario.
Core
Model Generator
Loads the federal, state, and local rules in force for your jurisdiction. Applies them to your roster. Produces a comparable Pro Forma against a baseline.
What it produces
- Pro Forma comparisons
- Dashboard and values-driven metrics
- Per-employee differentials
- Compliance findings and system alerts
- AI-assisted data ingestion and narratives
- Math-trails, scenario and library management
- CPA-ready audit exports and account access
Sub-models
03Staff Retention Simulator
Multi-year cashflow projection with retention assumptions. Surfaces break-even month, cumulative savings, and the dominant sensitivity.
Menu Pricing Engine
Translates a labor cost delta into menu price changes by category, under a chosen distribution strategy (maintain margin, prime cost %, target labor %).
Labor Headroom Solver
Inverse constraint solver. Given a fixed menu, searches alternative levers — hours, headcount, wages, bonus, benefits, margin — and returns ranked candidates.
Tool
01Wage Compression Simulator
Roster-scoped. Given a hypothetical new wage floor, surfaces who falls below it and who collapses into the new-hire band. Tenure-aware when hire dates are present.
Templates
05Traditional
Tipped minimum wage + tip retention by FOH. The 99% baseline most operators run today.
Full House Service Charge
4-tier point system distributing a single service charge pool across BOH and FOH. Tip credit forfeited.
BOH-only Service Charge
Service charge flows to BOH plus a benefits pool, FOH continues to receive tips. Tip credit retained on FOH.
Full House Tip Pool
Tipped FOH at full minimum wage; pooled tips split 75% FOH / 25% BOH.
Tip Credit Elimination
Models the jurisdiction eliminating the tip credit. Auto-raises tipped FOH base wages to the full state or locality minimum; tips restructure into a Full House Tip Pool.
Built toward third-party audit readiness.
CompTable’s compliance rules are co-versioned with statute citations, and every dollar in the platform is computed by a deterministic engine — not a model output. We are building toward formal third-party review of our regulatory layer.
