- Stack Audit
Find the hours your team re-types between systems
Payroll at a multi-location operator depends on several systems: POS, hiring, scheduling, tips and accounting. The gaps between them get filled by managers re-keying hours, tips, new hires and journal entries, and that shows up as overtime, payroll corrections and slow month-end closes. The Stack Audit finds those gaps, prices them, and tells you what to fix first.
Start with a free stack reviewWhat happens in the 10 days
Map your real stack
We check every connection you run: what data moves, which way, how often, and where it breaks. Read-only access to your systems and a 45-minute call with whoever runs payroll.
Count what manual work costs you
Hours per week and per location spent on exports, re-keying and fixes, priced at your own labor rate.
Rank the fixes
For each gap: turn on an integration you already pay for, add a connector, change a process, or switch systems, with the effort, cost and savings of each.
Walk you through it
A 60-minute session with your team, a written report and your verified stack map.

If we don't find at least 3 hours a week of manual work you can remove, you don't pay the second half.
Fix Sprint

We set up and test the integrations the audit flagged, map job codes, clean employee records and run a parallel payroll so the first live one is right. Fixed quote from the audit, usually 2–4 weeks.
Stack Care

Someone watching your connections each month: syncs checked, mismatches fixed before payroll, new locations and hires set up, and a short report. Cancel anytime.

Questions
Who is this for?
Restaurant, family entertainment and other hourly operators with several locations and at least four systems feeding payroll.
Do you sell software?
No. Most fixes turn out to be integrations you already pay for. Where a new system makes sense, we lay out more than one option.
Do vendors pay you?
Vining Automations may receive referral fees from some software vendors. We tell you in writing before recommending a vendor we have that relationship with, and it doesn't change the recommendation.
What do you need from us?
Read-only logins or screenshots for each system, one recent payroll register, and about two hours of your team's time across the 10 days.
Not sure it's worth it yet?
Map your stack for free first. The mapper estimates the hours spent by hand, and the free 30-minute review tells you whether an audit would pay for itself.
