payments and payroll

Your money stays yours.

Take payment however your clients want to pay, pay your guides without a Sunday night spreadsheet, and keep every card fee you already negotiated.

Guide pay is the job nobody warns you about

Nobody starts an outfit because they wanted to reconcile who rowed which day against who has been paid. But that is the Sunday night, every week, all season.

So the trip should know what the guide earns, and paying them should be the trip finishing rather than a separate act of bookkeeping in a different tool.

what it does

The whole of it

Guide pay, end to end

Rates by trip type, day, or split. The completed trip produces the pay, and the pay run is a review rather than a rebuild.

1099s handled

Contractor totals accumulate across the season, so January is a download instead of an archaeology project.

Cash, checks, and Venmo still work

Record a payment you took off-platform and it still lands on the trip and the client history. We do not make you change how people pay you.

You keep 100% of your own card fees

Your processing relationship stays yours. We do not sit in the middle of it and take a cut of the spread.

Invoicing and payment schedules

Deposits at booking, balances when they are due, and a record of what is outstanding that you do not have to assemble.

Exports your bookkeeper will accept

Clean exports of revenue, payouts, and fees. Your accountant gets a file, not a login and a tutorial.

I'm not only getting the most intuitive, easy-to-operate software in the industry. I'm making money.

Guides

Guides get their availability, assignments, and the meeting time and place on their phone before they leave the house. Onboard them once as 1099 contractors, and pay automatically for the trips they actually ran.
