Case Study: Hamra Enterprises achieves instant connection to 7,500 frontline associates with Beekeeper

How the quick-service restaurant giant reaches 7,500 associates instantly

Hamra Enterprises, the operator of over 200 Wendy’s, Panera Bread, and Noodles & Company locations with more than 7,500 associates across 11 states, struggled to reach frontline workers who lacked email access and relied on flyers, paper audits, and manual check-ins. To modernize communication and reduce time-consuming, paper-based workflows, Hamra turned to Beekeeper’s Frontline Success Platform as a mobile-first solution.

Beekeeper provided a single mobile hub with real-time updates, digital safety audits, and integrations with ADP and Snappy so managers can complete tasks on the go and employees can access paystubs, recognition, and resources from their phones. The rollout connected all 7,500+ associates, cut printing and administrative costs, sped up on-the-spot safety audits, and increased HERO Fund participation from 60% to 69% in six months (a 15% relative increase), while freeing managers from paperwork — all delivered by Beekeeper.
