Case Study: Iron Arch Management achieves faster onboarding and reduced manual data entry with Paycor

Paycor’s Onboarding Helps McDonald’s Franchises Improve Efficiencies and Reduce Manual Work

Iron Arch Management, an 18‑store McDonald’s franchise group, struggled with a paper‑based onboarding process that required new hires to complete paperwork during orientation and HR to manually enter data into their eRestaurant and payroll systems. With roughly 800 hires a year, multiple systems and manual entry created inefficiency and user errors, costing administrators more than 30 minutes per hire.

Paycor’s Onboarding moved new‑hire paperwork online and integrated data directly into payroll and the POS, cutting admin time per hire to about 5 minutes and reducing orientation from 6 hours to 2.5 hours (3.5 hours saved). Combined with responsive customer support, the solution streamlined workflows, reduced manual work, and improved payroll accuracy — part of Paycor’s broader support for McDonald’s franchises (400+ served, 28,000+ employees paid).
