Case Study: Forno Piombo cuts payroll to 10 minutes and frees owner time with RUN Powered by ADP

A family brick-oven business brings people together

Forno Piombo is a family-owned brick-oven maker in Napa, California, founded in 2014 by Guy and his son Tony. Growing from a one-off church oven to producing about 160 ovens a year with a four-person team, the business found administrative tasks—especially payroll and tax calculations—were time-consuming and sometimes inaccurate, pulling the founders away from manufacturing and sales.

Switching to RUN Powered by ADP gave them fast, accurate payroll they can run in about 10 minutes, including a mobile app for processing from job sites or vacations and reliable support for questions. The result: on-time paychecks, less time spent on admin, and more time for Guy and Tony to focus on building ovens, selling, and growing the business.
