Where Opsyte is stronger: Payroll, tronc, HR and right-to-work checks with TrustID, which Paddl does not do; Cash-up, invoice capture and P&L by site; Integrations with Toast, Lightspeed, Tevalis, Square, Micros, Xero, QuickBooks and Sage; Over 1,500 sites by its own account. ## Choose Opsyte if - Payroll, tronc and P&L are the problem to solve - You want rota, payroll and finance from one UK vendor ## Choose Paddl if - You need the food safety file: HACCP, SFBB, temperatures, allergens, training and the audit pack - Your brands or franchisees are separate businesses and head office sends them master plans and dishes as versioned updates - You want an AI agent that carries out the work once you confirm, rather than one that points ## What matters most **Mostly different jobs** Opsyte is the money and people side: rota, payroll, tronc, cash-up and P&L. Paddl is the compliance side: HACCP, SFBB, checks, allergens, training and the EHO pack. Paddl has a per-site rota and timesheets too, so for a small group the rota is where they overlap; larger groups often keep Opsyte for payroll and use Paddl for compliance. **AI** Opsyte's Operator AI summarises and suggests, and by its own description changes nothing itself. Ask Paddy, the agent built into Paddl, can use over 200 tools to carry out the work, almost every change shown as a card a person confirms first. ## Switching from Opsyte to Paddl - The food safety and compliance records Opsyte does not keep - A per-site rota if you do not need Opsyte's payroll - Group library and group food across separate businesses Run Paddl beside Opsyte rather than switching: set up sites, let the AI draft the plans, and keep payroll where it is. ### How the switch works 1. Set up sites and managers in Paddl 2. Let the AI draft the HACCP plan and SFBB pack 3. Turn on routine templates 4. Keep Opsyte for payroll and finance What you keep: Payroll and finance in Opsyte What you give up: Nothing, if you run both ## Alternatives to Opsyte for UK hospitality | Product | Category | Pricing | | --- | --- | --- | | Paddl | Food safety, compliance and operations | £69 per location per month, every feature included, 30-day free trial.

Paddl is £69 a location a month with every feature.
