Case Study: Kids Atelier achieves 3 hours/week payroll savings and streamlined onboarding & compliance with Gusto

Kids Atelier works with Gusto

Kids Atelier (LSH Plus) is a rapidly growing children’s clothing retailer with 13 stores across multiple U.S. states. Co-founder Rabee Ikkawi struggled with manual, time-consuming onboarding, multi-state payroll and tax filings, and keeping up with changing compliance requirements as the team expanded.

By adopting Gusto as their central HR hub, LSH Plus automated onboarding, payroll taxes and new-hire reporting, and simplified benefits selection—allowing the company to offer medical, dental and vision quickly. The switch freed up about three hours a week, enabled 70 employees to be onboarded with zero issues, and gave Rabee confidence that compliance and HR tasks are handled so he can focus on sales and brand growth.
