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

The problem

Staff pay is time-based. But performance isn’t.

Staff get paid the same whether the business has a great month or a hard one. Over time, that disconnect quietly erodes motivation and accountability.

The idea

What if everyone wins when the business wins?

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

Align staff with performance

When the business does well, the team does well. Same direction, every shift.

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.

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.

A real example

What it looks like in numbers.

A simple month at a small restaurant. The math is meant to be obvious.

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.
