Multi-Site Tronc Solution for Hospitality Groups in the UK

We build and manage Tronc schemes that support multiple venues. Whether you're running five pubs or fifty restaurants, we give you a Tronc system that keeps staff happy, satisfies HMRC, and protects the NIC exemption you're entitled to. Our model is fully hands-on, with every piece documented and audit-ready.

Multi-Site Scheme Implementation

We create a central Tronc framework that can scale to each site in your group. This includes defining qualifying tips, setting distribution rules, establishing decision-making separation, and aligning everything to HMRC’s E24 guidelines and the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023

Independent Troncmaster Oversight Across Locations

NIC savings hinge on independence. We act as the designated Troncmaster across your venues, maintaining full operational control of allocations. We handle staff questions, process disputes, and ensure the employer has no involvement — a critical requirement for compliance.

NIC Savings Recalculation Per Site

Most groups miscalculate Employer NIC savings because exemptions aren’t properly applied across all outlets. We run actuals on each location using their pay data, shift patterns, and Tronc earnings to reveal the annual saving being missed — or wrongly claimed.

Central Reporting with Site-Level Breakdown

You’ll receive structured monthly reports that include Tronc distribution by employee, NIC savings totals, and reconciliation against pay records — site by site. This gives your finance team visibility and your HR team documentation to support transparency.

Compliance Documentation and Audit Files

We prepare policy documents, Tronc allocation rules, and Troncmaster declarations that align with legislative requirements. This documentation is prepared for each location and central management — keeping you ready for internal reviews or external inspections.

Training for Site Managers and Payroll Teams

We run short-form training sessions with each site’s management team and your payroll provider to ensure they understand their role — and limits. This eliminates the most common causes of employer interference, which is the fastest way to void NIC exemptions.

Transition Plan for Groups With Existing Tronc Systems

Already running a Tronc scheme at some sites? We assess what’s working, where the risks lie, and create a plan to consolidate the system. This includes reworking any prior structure, adjusting payroll integrations, and correcting HMRC risk exposure.

Staff Communication Materials and Templates

We write clear communications that explain Tronc to your employees — including how shares are allocated, what role we play, and how to raise concerns. That means fewer complaints, fewer errors, and less time lost to internal confusion.
