Tray Netchex Integration: What It Is and Why It Works

Last updated: August 2026

A 24-hour diner never really closes, which means its point of sale system never really stops either. Shifts roll over at odd hours, overnight cooks clock in while the morning crew is still finishing up, and somewhere in the middle of all that, hours worked still have to get to payroll accurately. For restaurants that run around the clock, the connection between the POS and payroll can’t afford to be an afterthought.

Here’s what Tray is, what Netchex is, and how the connection between them supports restaurants moving workforce data from the point of sale into payroll.

What Is Tray?

Tray is a point of sale platform used by restaurants to manage order entry and front of house operations. Tray also maintains a help center for its users at trayhelpdesk.zendesk.com.

What Is Netchex?

Netchex is a payroll and HR platform built for mid-market businesses with lean HR teams and hourly or deskless workforces. Instead of stitching together separate systems for payroll, time, HR, and benefits, Netchex brings them into one platform backed by real support, so HR teams spend less time on data entry and more time on their people.

How the Tray Netchex Integration Works

Tray connects with Netchex through an API integration, allowing restaurant workforce data captured at the point of sale to be exchanged with Netchex’s payroll and HR platform. That connected data exchange means restaurant teams don’t have to manually transfer information from Tray into payroll each pay period.

• Connects Tray’s point of sale data with Netchex payroll and HR
• Supports restaurants running continuous or extended-hours service schedules
• Reduces manual re-entry of workforce data between systems

Why Netchex Is the Best Payroll and HR Solution for Companies That Use Tray

Restaurants running Tray often operate on schedules where shifts overlap and hours worked don’t fall neatly into a typical nine-to-five pattern. What these operators need from a payroll partner is a system flexible and accurate enough to handle that kind of scheduling without creating errors at pay time.

Netchex supports that need with a service model built around real people, not just software. Netchex is ranked #1 on G2 for service, with a 98% customer satisfaction score and 90% of support calls answered by a real, US-based person in under a minute, so restaurant staff working odd hours still get quick answers when payroll questions come up.

That combination of dependable technology and real service is why the average Netchex customer stays for 10 or more years, and why restaurant operators running Tray choose Netchex as their payroll and HR system of record.
