BOHO service terms and client responsibilities
Last updated
1. These terms, and what governs a client relationship
These terms govern your use of this website. If you become a BOHO client, the services are governed by the signed service schedule and proposal between Back of House Ops and your business. Where anything on this website and your signed proposal differ, the proposal governs. Nothing on this site is an offer capable of acceptance, and nothing on it creates a contract.
2. The nature of the service
BOHO provides client-directed HR administration and payroll coordination. Your restaurant remains the employer of record and approves payroll and employment decisions. BOHO is not a PEO, a staffing agency, or legal counsel.
BOHO does not act as a professional employer organization, a co-employer, a staffing agency, a law firm, a tax adviser, or an insurance broker. BOHO does not make employment decisions and does not fund payroll. The full boundary is published on the service scope page.
3. Client responsibilities
As a client, your restaurant is responsible for:
- Providing accurate, complete, and timely source data — hours, tips, rate changes, new hires, and terminations — before the stated payroll cutoff.
- Designating a named approver, and reviewing and approving each payroll run before submission.
- Funding payroll and associated tax liabilities.
- All employment decisions, including hiring, scheduling, discipline, compensation, and termination.
- Physically examining identity and work-authorization documents and making the associated attestations, which cannot be delegated to BOHO.
- Obtaining legal, tax, and insurance advice from qualified professionals where circumstances warrant it.
Where inaccurate or late source data causes an error, a correction may be required and may carry additional cost. That is a consequence of the timing, not a penalty.
4. Fees
Fees, tier, billing cycle, and any costs that sit outside the retainer are set out in your proposal. Pricing shown on this site is indicative of the retainer structure and does not itself constitute a quotation. Third-party and platform costs, where applicable, are identified in your proposal.
5. Information on this website
Content on this site — including checklists, resource articles, and any regulatory figures — is general operational information, not legal, tax, or employment advice, and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional about your circumstances.
Regulatory figures are published with the official source they should be checked against and the date they were last reviewed. Rules change. Verify against the primary source before relying on any figure here.
No outcome is guaranteed. In particular, no tax credit — including the Work Opportunity Tax Credit — is guaranteed as to eligibility, availability, amount, or timing.
6. Third-party platforms and links
Where services are coordinated through a payroll platform, that platform is provided under its own terms between your restaurant and its provider. References on this site to any third-party product or organization are descriptive and do not assert a partnership, endorsement, authorization, or affiliation unless expressly stated. Links to external sites are provided for reference; we are not responsible for their content.
7. Intellectual property
The content, design, and materials on this site are owned by Back of House Ops or its licensors. You may read, print, and share pages for your own business purposes. You may not republish or resell them without permission.
8. Acceptable use
Do not use this site to submit unlawful, abusive, or deliberately false information, to submit another person’s sensitive data, to attempt unauthorized access, or to scrape or overload it.
9. Disclaimers and liability
This website is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties in respect of the website, and our liability arising from your use of the website is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Liability in respect of services provided to a client is governed by the limitations set out in that client’s signed service schedule. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Governing law
These website terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Governing law and dispute resolution for services are as stated in your signed service schedule.
11. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page reflects the current version.
