Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Sidekick focuses on doing the POS-to-Gusto handoff really, really well — not on becoming an HR suite you have to learn.
Multi-POS support
Focus, Square, and Toast supported today. New POS integrations are added on request — Sidekick is designed to grow with the systems indie operators actually use.
Automatic column mapping
Sidekick reads your file, detects the columns, and proposes a mapping. You confirm once, and the mapping is remembered for every future upload of that report type.
Smart validation
Overnight shifts, overtime calculations, tip allocation, and rate consistency are all checked automatically. Anything unusual is flagged before you export — not after Gusto rejects the file.
Three-tip-type handling
Cash, credit, and declared tips are tracked separately for accurate tax reporting. Pooled tip distributions are calculated by your rules, not estimated.
Gusto-ready export
One CSV in the exact format Gusto expects. No column renaming, no date reformatting, no totals to reconcile. Upload it as-is.
Pay period history
Every export saved, searchable, and re-downloadable. Audit trail for every change.
Multi-location support
Run payroll across multiple locations from one account, with per-location overrides.
