Case Study: Buehler’s Fresh Foods boosts recruiting, engagement and provides on-demand pay with Dayforce Wallet (Dayforce)

Buehler’s Fresh Foods stocks peace of mind with Dayforce Wallet

Buehler’s Fresh Foods is a 100% employee‑owned, upscale grocery chain in Ohio with 13 stores and about 2,100 employees spanning deli, bakery, catering and retail roles. Facing stiff local competition, high part‑time/seasonal turnover (about 1,000 annually) and the need to streamline onboarding—especially during the pandemic—Buehler’s needed better tools to attract, engage and retain talent while keeping HR lean.

Buehler’s partnered with Ceridian Dayforce for payroll, HR, recruiting and onboarding, and added Dayforce Wallet for on‑demand pay. The results were rapid and measurable: a Nucleus Research payback of 216% within four months and roughly $1.8M annual benefit (plus $200K from recruiting), a 75% reduction in onboarding time, a two‑week Wallet rollout with no added payroll burden, early Wallet adoption and improved recruiting and financial flexibility for employees.
