--- --- Tronc works fine at one site — until you add another. Running a Tronc scheme across a single venue is manageable. Once you add location number two, things start slipping. By the third, you’ve lost control. Managers use their own methods, payrolls are out of sync, and HMRC compliance gets buried under day-to-day chaos.And when a staff dispute breaks out or HMRC checks the books, you’re the one answering for it. The NIC savings your FD was counting on? Gone — invalidated by employer interference or a poorly documented system. You don’t need another software tool. You need a structure tha
t actually works across your sites. 📞 BOOK A CALL --- Our Services 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.

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 requi
rements. 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.

This includes reworking any prior structure, adjusting payroll integrations, and correcting HMRC risk exposure. 📞 BOOK A CALL --- 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.
