Case Study: Five Guys strengthens financial and mental wellbeing with Stream

Five Guys boosts financial wellbeing with Stream, reaching 77.5% adoption

Five Guys, a leading UK restaurant brand, identified that financial stress was a key challenge affecting its large frontline workforce. Rising living costs and requests for pay advances highlighted the need for support, as the company views financial wellbeing as foundational to mental health. They turned to the vendor Stream to provide a comprehensive financial wellbeing solution beyond just pay flexibility.

Stream implemented its all-in-one financial wellbeing platform, which combined earned wage access, savings tools, budgeting features, and responsible lending. This gave Five Guys employees a self-serve hub to manage their money. The results were significant, with 77.5% workforce adoption, an 81% engagement rate with budgeting tools, and a 50% savings account setup rate in the first month. Stream's solution also reduced pressure on payroll teams and helped reinforce a direct correlation between employee wellbeing and strong business performance at individual locations.
