Brink × PayDay Portal
If Brink runs your QSR, PayDay Portal can pool, reconcile, and pay tip-eligible team members between rushes.
PAR Brink POS is one of the most-deployed cloud POS platforms for QSR and fast-casual — the system behind brands like Dairy Queen, Arby’s, and many more. PayDay Portal handles the tip distribution that QSR operators historically did by hand at end of shift: pooled, reconciled, and paid out on whatever cadence fits your operation.
PAR Brink POS powers QSR and fast-casual at scale.
Brink POS by PAR Technology is a cloud-native restaurant POS purpose-built for Quick Service and fast-casual brands — from single-location operators to enterprise franchise systems with thousands of stores. PayDay Portal integrates with Brink to handle the tip distribution layer that QSR operators historically managed manually at end of shift: shift-based pooling, station splits, and same-day payout via CHOICE.
Two Layers. One Featured Partner Relationship.
Direct integration with the Brink stack
- Brink POS API — live check, tip, and labor data via PAR Cloud
- Shift-based tip pools — pool by shift, by station, or by daypart — not just pay-period
- Driver / cashier / kitchen splits — QSR-typical role splits configured once and applied every shift
- Loyalty & tip integration — tipping channels (kiosk, app, drive-thru) reconciled to one pool
- Earnings codes — tax-coded tip earnings pre-mapped for any payroll provider
- Cadence — real-time, daily, or your defined pay cycle
- CHOICE same-day pay — PayCard, Cash, Direct to Bank, Visa Direct ATM, Payroll Push
Joint go-to-market across Brink accounts
- PAR Cloud ecosystem — publicly verifiable integration
- Coordinated implementation — one onboarding when Brink and PDP land at the same time
- Joint customer success — named escalation paths on both sides
- QSR & franchise references — deployed across multi-unit franchise operators
Brink → PayDay Portal → Payroll → Paycheck
Four steps, automated, every pay period.
Brink sends shift data
Live check, tip, and labor data flows from Brink POS via the PAR Cloud connection into PayDay Portal.
PDP pools & reconciles
150+ pooling rules run, Triple Ledger reconciles every shift, FLSA & state law applied automatically.
Payroll receives clean data
Tax-coded earnings flow to your payroll provider on your cycle. CHOICE delivers same-day pay if elected.
Employees get paid
Payroll runs. CHOICE optionally delivers same-day pay. Employees see the right number, on time, every time.
Three Brink-operator outcomes for QSR and fast-casual.
Pool by shift, not pay-period
QSR shifts roll over fast. Brink + PDP supports pooling and payout on a per-shift cadence, not just at end of pay period.
Station splits, configured once
Driver, cashier, kitchen, and prep splits typical of QSR are configured once and applied every shift — same rules, every store.
Same-day pay between rushes
If the employee elects the Pay Me option, CHOICE delivers same-day funds — visible to staff before the next rush starts.
Whichever Side You Start From
Here’s what PayDay Portal adds.
Brink captures the orders, the tips, and the punches. PayDay Portal handles everything that comes after: shift-based pooling, station splits, FLSA compliance across 45+ states, automated tip-credit math, and clean payroll-ready exports for whichever payroll provider you use.
