Case Study: Buehler's Fresh Foods rallies and protects its essential workforce with Dayforce

How Buehler's Fresh Foods is rallying the essential workforce

Buehler’s Fresh Foods, an employee-owned upscale grocery retailer with 13 Ohio locations, faced sudden operational strain when COVID-19 made groceries an essential service. The company had to manage a rush of customers, protect employee health, adapt staffing as its in-store restaurants closed, and scale curbside “Click, Load and Go” orders — all while keeping employees informed and supported.

Buehler’s used Ceridian Dayforce to centralize communications, create a COVID-19 learning library, run remote onboarding, and track workforce status. The retailer redeployed more than 200 restaurant employees to sanitation and CLAG roles, expanded pickup capacity, saved managers time with consolidated messaging, tracked inactive staff for targeted redeployment or hiring, avoided layoffs, and delivered over $250,000 in appreciation pay, sustaining operations and employee morale.
