Texas Roadhouse uses ADP for payroll, so you set up direct deposit through the ADP portal, not through the restaurant itself

Texas Roadhouse employees receive paychecks via direct deposit through ADP, a third-party payroll processor. You do not fill out a form at the restaurant or give information to a manager. Instead, you log into your ADP account online or through the ADP mobile app, enter your bank details once, and the system deposits your pay automatically on payday.

The setup takes about 10 minutes and requires your routing number and account number from your bank. Once you complete it, you do not need to do anything else — the deposits happen on schedule without further action from you.

Key Takeaways

  • Texas Roadhouse processes payroll through ADP, so you must create or log into an ADP account to set up direct deposit.
  • You will need your bank's routing number and your account number, both of which appear on a blank check or your bank's website.
  • Direct deposit typically begins on your next scheduled payday after you enter your bank information, though some delays can occur if you set it up close to payday.
  • If you do not set up direct deposit, Texas Roadhouse will issue a physical paycheck, which you must pick up or have mailed to you.

How to access your ADP account

Texas Roadhouse provides new hires with login credentials for ADP during onboarding. You should receive an email with a link to create your ADP account or instructions to log in if one already exists. If you did not receive this email, ask your manager or the human resources contact at your location for the ADP portal link and your employee ID.

Once you have the link, go to the ADP website or download the ADP mobile app, enter your employee ID and password, and log in. The portal shows your pay stubs, tax documents, and the option to set up or change direct deposit. If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it.

What bank information you need

Before you log into ADP, gather two pieces of information from your bank: your routing number and your account number. The routing number identifies your bank; the account number identifies your specific account within that bank.

You can find both numbers on a blank check from your checkbook — the routing number is the first set of nine digits on the bottom left, and the account number follows it. If you do not have checks, log into your bank's website or mobile app and look for account details or account information. You can also call your bank's customer service line and ask for both numbers.

Make sure you enter the correct account number. A mistake here means your paycheck goes to the wrong account, and you will have to contact ADP and your bank to fix it.

Entering your bank details in ADP

Log into your ADP account and look for a section labeled "Pay" or "Direct Deposit" — the exact name varies slightly depending on whether you are using the website or the app. Click on the option to add or set up direct deposit. ADP will ask you to enter your bank's routing number, your account number, and the account type (checking or savings).

Double-check each number before you submit. ADP may ask you to verify your bank information by depositing two small test amounts (usually under $1 each) into your account, then asking you to confirm those amounts. This verification step can take a few business days. Once you confirm the amounts, direct deposit is active.

When your first direct deposit will arrive

Direct deposit typically begins on your next scheduled payday after you complete the setup in ADP. However, timing depends on when you set it up relative to your pay cycle. If you set up direct deposit early in the pay period, it will likely go through on the next payday. If you set it up very close to payday or after payroll has already been processed, it may not deposit until the following payday.

Texas Roadhouse's pay schedule varies by location, but most restaurants pay weekly or biweekly. Ask your manager when your next payday is so you know when to expect the deposit. If your first direct deposit does not arrive on the expected date, log back into ADP and confirm your bank information is correct, or contact ADP support through the portal.

What happens if you do not set up direct deposit

If you do not set up direct deposit, Texas Roadhouse will issue a physical paycheck. Depending on your location, you may pick it up at the restaurant on payday, have it mailed to your address on file, or receive it through another method your manager specifies. Physical checks take longer to process than direct deposit and require you to deposit them yourself at your bank.

You can set up direct deposit at any time, even if you have been receiving physical checks. Simply log into ADP and add your bank information whenever you are ready. Your next paycheck after you complete the setup will be deposited directly.

Changing or removing direct deposit

If you need to change your bank account or remove direct deposit, log into ADP and update your information in the direct deposit section. Changes typically take effect on your next payday. If you remove direct deposit, you will receive a physical check instead.

If you change banks, update your direct deposit information as soon as possible to avoid a missed or delayed deposit. Keep your old account open for a few days after you make the change in case there is a delay in processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I do not remember my ADP login information?

Use the "Forgot Password" link on the ADP login page to reset your password. If you do not remember your employee ID, contact your manager or the human resources contact at your Texas Roadhouse location — they can provide it or help you regain access to your account.

Can I set up direct deposit to a savings account instead of checking?

Yes. When you enter your bank information in ADP, you will select the account type — checking or savings. Both work the same way. Make sure you enter the correct routing number and account number for the account you choose.

What if my direct deposit does not arrive on payday?

First, log into ADP and confirm your routing number and account number are correct. If they are, contact ADP support through the portal or call the number listed in your account. If your bank information is wrong, ADP can help you update it and resubmit the deposit. In the meantime, ask your manager about getting a physical check or advance.

Can I split my paycheck between two bank accounts?

Some payroll systems allow split deposits, but you will need to check whether ADP at your specific Texas Roadhouse location supports this. Log into your ADP account and look for an option to add multiple accounts, or contact your manager to ask if split deposits are available.

Do I have to use direct deposit, or can I keep getting physical checks?

Texas Roadhouse does not require direct deposit. You can choose to receive physical checks instead. However, direct deposit is faster, more secure, and means you do not have to pick up or deposit a check yourself. You can switch to direct deposit whenever you want by setting it up in ADP.
