Case Study: Matchbox Charlottesville achieves streamlined payroll and better hiring with ADP

Maurice Kelly, a former military and reserve naval intelligence officer, owns Matchbox Charlottesville, a fast-casual restaurant he opened in 2017 and converted to a Matchbox franchise in 2019. Early on he struggled with time-consuming, unreliable payroll processes through Paychex that pulled him away from running the restaurant and building his team.

He switched to RUN Powered by ADP after a bank referral, and the migration was seamless. RUN’s one-screen, user-friendly interface and responsive customer service (including weekend support and fast fixes for payroll mistakes) reduced payroll time, improved employee retention, and—through included ZipRecruiter access—helped him hire a higher-caliber executive chef and general manager, saving the cost of a full-time accountant or HR hire.
