Illustrative figures based on typical operational improvements when staff are aligned with profit. Actual results vary by venue.

The problem

Show up. Get paid. Go home.

Staff pay is based on time — not business performance. Over time, that disconnect can reduce motivation, accountability, and team alignment.

The idea

What if everyone wins when the business wins?

Portion lets you calculate a small percentage of operating profit to share with staff — only after your baseline profit is secured.

Align staff with performance

When the team does well, business does well. Owners and staff have same goal.

Improve cost awareness

Staff start noticing waste, comps, and small leaks because it affects them too.

Build a stronger culture

Less ‘us vs. them’. More ownership. Lower turnover over time.

For the team

A real bonus, the moment the week/month closes.

Staff see exactly how their shifts contributed, what the restaurant earned, and what they take home. No spreadsheets, no guesswork — just a clear payout tied to results.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing complicated.

01

Enter your monthly numbers

Drop in revenue and costs, or connect your POS. Takes a few minutes.

02

Set your sharing percentage

Choose a baseline profit and the % of anything above it that goes to staff.

03

Portion calculates and distributes

We do the math, show each staff member their bonus, and prep the payout.

For the owner

You stay in control — always.

Set your baseline. Choose your sharing percentage. Pause it weekly/monthly. Portion does the math so you can focus on running the restaurant.

Paid out only after the month closes and the baseline profit is hit. No profit, no payout.

Built for owners

The questions every owner asks first.

Portion is designed around the way restaurant owners actually think about their business.

No profit, no payout

If the month doesn’t hit the baseline, nothing is shared. Period.

You control the percentage

Set it, adjust it, pause it. You decide what’s sustainable.

Only share upside, not risk

Staff never owe anything back. They share gains, not losses.
