Case Study: Vibe by California achieves major labor savings and streamlined multi-location people management with KayaPush

Vibe by California’s Journey with KayaPush

Vibe by California, a fast-growing, vertically integrated cannabis company known for its Hype label, faced operational headaches from an industry-wide lack of banking and payroll support. Payroll and scheduling vendors they tried fell short on reporting, customer service, and flexibility, making multi-location employee management and quarterly tax reporting overly complex. To address this, Vibe implemented KayaPush’s all-in-one automated people management solution.

KayaPush provided real-time reporting, a central management dashboard, automated time tracking (with mobile clock-ins, geofencing/facial recognition, and break waivers) and simplified scheduling across roles and locations. The KayaPush toolkit let store managers adjust staffing to live sales, reduced manual payroll work, and — as Head of Retail Richard McLean reports — “saved almost an entire human in every store,” cutting labor costs, improving compliance and freeing Vibe to scale into new locations.
