Case Study: Panera Bread franchisee Pride Restaurant Group streamlines payroll and onboarding with isolved

Fast Food Franchisee Moves Its Payroll and Other Restaurateurs to isolved

Pride Restaurant Group, a fast food franchisee operating Panera Bread and Burger King locations, turned to isolved HCM to reduce employment liability and improve compliance, especially around California’s complex labor laws. The company needed a better way to handle payroll and onboarding across multiple restaurants while easing the burden on its internal team.

Using isolved for payroll and onboarding, Pride Restaurant Group streamlined core HR processes, gained access to online W-2s and paystubs, and made re-onboarding easier when employee status changed. With isolved, the company saved 32 hours per month, reduced errors, improved payroll satisfaction across 19 restaurants and 350+ employees, and expanded its capacity to take on additional bookkeeping work.
