Case Study: Boston Pizza cuts labor costs and saves hours on payroll with Push Operations

Why The Canadian Hospitality Company With Over 700 Employees Adopted An All-In-One Tech Stack

Boston Pizza, a Canadian hospitality company with 16 locations and 700+ employees, struggled with a fragmented tech stack (Ameego scheduling, POSitouch time attendance, Payworks payroll) that made labor tracking and payroll time-consuming and error-prone. General managers faced a steep learning curve with payroll, manual statutory holiday calculations, delayed clock approvals, and inconsistent sales-vs-labor reporting — all critical issues in high-wage provinces like Alberta. To address this, they turned to Push Operations and its Push all‑in‑one scheduling, time tracking, and payroll solution.

Push Operations implemented Push to centralize scheduling, time tracking and payroll, giving GMs minute‑by‑minute labor cost projections and automated payroll calculations. The change cut training time (GMs learned the system in about four weeks), automated payroll (saving 2–3 hours and roughly 2 hours/day on stat‑holiday weeks), and uncovered $300–$400 per week in labor savings versus the previous scheduling setup. Push Operations also simplified clock approvals and provided a workable sales-data process for franchise constraints, freeing managers to focus on operations rather than manual admin.
