Case Study: Little Italy Ristorante cuts payroll processing from hours to minutes with 7shifts

How Little Italy Ristorante Turned Hours of Payroll Processing into Minutes

Little Italy Ristorante in Groveport, OH was spending too much time on manual restaurant operations, especially payroll, and their previous payroll provider struggled to handle employees with multiple roles and pay rates. As the business grew, owner Avery Ward needed a more efficient, restaurant-focused solution to replace paper schedules, manual time tracking, and a payroll process that took hours each cycle. 7shifts was chosen as their team management platform, adding scheduling, time clocking, and payroll in one place.

With 7shifts, Little Italy Ristorante automated payroll for multi-role employees, tip calculations, PTO, sick leave, and tax syncing, while time clocking and schedule data flowed directly into payroll. The result was a dramatic reduction in processing time from about four hours to just a few minutes, saving up to 12 hours per month and improving the employee experience with transparent pay stubs and self-service access. 7shifts also helped the restaurant scale to 80+ employees and support much higher sales.
