Case Study: Main Squeeze Juice Co. achieves 25% labor reduction across 10+ locations in 9 months with 7shifts

How Main Squeeze Reduced Their Labor by 25% Across 10+ Locations in 9 Months

Main Squeeze began in 2017 as a single juice bar in Lake Charles, Louisiana and rapidly scaled into a franchised concept with 20 locations by 2020. As the brand grew, outdated scheduling practices (Excel and email) left managers blind to real-time sales and labor needs, risking inflated labor costs that would erode franchisee margins.

Main Squeeze integrated 7shifts with their POS (using the platform’s open API) to bring sales-driven forecasting to scheduling across all locations. Within nine months the chain reduced labor by 25% across 10+ sites, consistently hit target labor ranges (≈15% owner-operated, ≈22% manager-run) and boosted labor productivity—freeing funds for marketing and employee retention.
