SpotOn, the leading restaurant management system trusted by independent restaurants nationwide, today announced its collaboration with Visa, a global leader in digital payments, to implement Visa Direct. With Visa Direct integrated into SpotOn’s DayCheck solution, restaurant owners can simplify tip payouts and cash flow, while employees gain rapid access to their earnings through Visa’s trusted payment network, helping boost satisfaction, retention and financial control.

"Independent restaurants are under pressure to do more with less, and that includes finding ways to support their teams," said Doron Friedman, Chief Innovation Officer at SpotOn. "By working with Visa to bring Visa Direct into DayCheck, we’re giving operators a way to simplify tip payouts and cash flow, while empowering employees with the flexibility to access their earnings rapidly. It’s a win-win that strengthens both restaurants and the people who power them."

With SpotOn Teamwork and DayCheck, enabled by Visa Direct’s payment capabilities, operators can skip manual calculations, cash handling, and delayed payouts. Unlike other solutions, DayCheck doesn’t require prefunding (setting aside funds in advance) for qualified merchants, enabling stronger cash flow while making tip distribution faster and more transparent. Behind the scenes, Astra powers seamless, rapid payouts enabling SpotOn to move tip funds without requiring prefunding or manual cash handling. Astra’s enterprise-grade payments infrastructure manages everything from initiation to settlement, with automated treasury functions that reduce operational friction and help operators elevate their employee experience. This digital-first process reduces administrative burdens for owners and helps them stand out as employers of choice.
