Case Study: Noodles & Company achieves improved employee financial health, loyalty, and retention with Even

How Noodles & Co. used Even’s responsible on-demand pay platform to improve employee financial health, loyalty, and retention

Noodles & Company, a restaurant employer known for progressive benefits, faced rising employee financial stress and wanted more than a simple payday solution. They partnered with Even and adopted Even’s responsible on‑demand pay platform to address cash‑flow emergencies while also improving long‑term financial health and retention across their workforce.

Even implemented Instapay plus Automatic Savings and Automatic Budgeting, combined with a coordinated employee marketing launch; more than half of Noodles & Company’s workforce signed up, 52% used Instapay to access $2.6 million in wages, and team members collectively saved over $550,000 through Even’s savings feature (with monthly deposits averaging $20K+ and four months exceeding $65K). The program boosted employee sentiment—70% say Even positively impacted their view of Noodles & Company and their financial health—and helped reduce reliance on costly alternatives, strengthening loyalty and retention.
