shop Restaurants deserve better

Most tools weren’t built for the chaos of running 
multi-unit restaurants.

They fall apart with hourly schedules, changing labor laws, and high turnover.

Six tools. Zero Sync.

Hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and payroll don’t talk — so you have to re-enter info, juggle exports, and stitch spreadsheets together by hand.

icon-Sep-05-2025-10-32-55-5944-AM

Multi-roles. Multi-EIN.

Tracking ACA compliance, tip pooling, and meal breaks across  multiple locations is manual, messy, and full of legal landmines.

icon-Sep-05-2025-10-33-26-9500-AM

High turnover. No time.

Spending hours posting jobs, screening resumes, and fielding candidate questions — only to get ghosted on interview day.
