Case Study: Stella Taco saves time and boosts employee flexibility with Homebase

How Portland’s Stella Taco uses Homebase to Save Time and Give their Employees Extra Flexibility

Stella Taco, a 52-employee fast-casual taco shop in Portland, OR, struggled with time-consuming scheduling and shift disputes that kept owners Ian and Becky from focusing on the restaurant. They discovered Homebase through the Square Marketplace and adopted Homebase’s scheduling and mobile app to replace a standalone scheduling app and the POS time clock.

Homebase enabled employees to trade shifts with manager approval via the free mobile app, creating a clear system of record and eliminating "he said, she said" disputes. The result: less administrative overhead, fewer management headaches, and more time for Ian and Becky to focus on food and growth—changes the owners say “have changed our lives.”
