Case Study: Tacofino Restaurants achieves automated payroll and streamlined multi-location operations with Push Operations

How Push Became a Key Ingredient in Tacofino's Recipe for Success

Tacofino Restaurants, a fast-casual chain born in Tofino, BC and now operating 10+ locations, faced growing pains from an outdated payroll setup that relied on manual clock-ins and spreadsheets. The labor-intensive process consumed significant time for financial controller Max Seki and threatened scalability, so Tacofino turned to Push Operations’ all-in-one people management system to modernize payroll and HR workflows.

Push Operations automated time tracking, payroll calculations and tax remittances (CPP, EI, WCB), added POS integration, centralized reporting and onboarding, and provided an applicant tracking system and dedicated customer success support. The result: approving hours now takes 20–30 minutes per day and payroll is completed in one day per week for 10 locations, fewer discrepancies, streamlined remittances, improved hiring visibility, and stronger operational efficiency as Tacofino scales — all powered by Push Operations.
