Case Study: Adapt Kitchen and Juice Bar achieves streamlined payroll and efficient growth with ADP

Adapt Kitchen and Juice Bar Adapting to business owner life

Adapt Kitchen and Juice Bar, a juice-and-coffee concept in Wrightsville Beach, NC founded in 2018 by Chris Curry and Elie Tilghman, grew quickly from a five-person startup to 16 employees and expanding menu offerings. As first-time owners they found themselves overwhelmed by payroll, taxes, insurance and the surge of seasonal hiring and onboarding that came with rapid growth.

ADP stepped in with RUN Powered by ADP, workers’ compensation through its affiliate, an employee handbook, ZipRecruiter support and hands-on payroll training, including paperless paystubs. The result: a more professional, organized operation with faster hiring and onboarding, reduced back-office burden (avoiding the need to hire extra staff) and greater peace of mind for the owners.
