Case Study: Square One Concepts achieves 75% faster onboarding and streamlined HR operations with Paylocity

Hospitality Group Cooks Up Streamlined Operations with a Modern HCM

Square One Concepts, a Scottsdale-based hospitality group with 1,300+ employees, faced a disjointed tech stack, manual processes, slow onboarding and poor service from their previous HCM provider that hindered growth and strained managers and employees. In 2022 the company chose Paylocity and its modern, all‑in‑one HCM platform to replace the patchwork systems and get the support needed to scale.

Paylocity implemented an integrated suite—including recruiting and onboarding, payroll (enabling a smooth shift to weekly pay), Community for mobile communication, learning, and broad integrations—that centralized HR operations and reduced administrative burden. The result: a 75% reduction in onboarding time, faster payroll processing, improved employee communication and development, and one platform covering HR A–Z so Square One Concepts can focus more on strategy and employee experience.
