Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Likelihood to Recommend

Gusto worked well for our food truck business with several part-time employees. Gusto is also set up for much larger businesses with many employees. As a small business owner, paying someone to run payroll each week was out of the question, yet spending hours and hours trying to do it yourself was impossible. Gusto made it a simple process from the setup to filing the necessary taxes. It was as simple as entering the number of hours each employee worked and hitting 'Submit'.
