Case Study: Desert De Oro Foods Inc. achieves cash-flow relief and next-day contactless tips with Branch

Desert de Oro Foods - Customer Case Study

Desert De Oro Foods Inc., operating Hot Pizzas (including 89 Pizza Hut locations in Arizona), faced mounting cash-flow headaches when customers shifted away from cash during COVID-19. With delivery making up roughly 70% of sales, area coaches and general managers were spending hours each week driving to banks and reconciling cash to pay driver tips and mileage — so they engaged Branch to implement digital, contactless tips and mileage reimbursements.

Branch delivered a fast, simple rollout (webinar guides, QR-code app onboarding and hands-on Customer Success support) that enrolled about 1,000 drivers across 89 restaurants. The result was a 99% adoption rate, elimination of routine bank trips, next-day payouts for employees, and managers gaining roughly 10 hours a week back — delivering measurable time savings and improved employee financial health.
