Case Study: Snarf’s Sandwiches controls rising benefits costs with Take Command’s ICHRA solution

Restaurant chain grapples with benefits across state lines

Snarf's Sandwiches, a Colorado-based restaurant chain, was grappling with unsustainable healthcare costs after facing a 46% premium increase on their large group plan. The challenge was compounded as their expansion into new states created administrative complexity with multiple plans and renewals. They partnered with vendor Take Command to implement an ICHRA.

Take Command's ICHRA administration provided a flexible and cost-effective solution, allowing employees to choose personalized plans while the company provided age-based premium reimbursements. This transition away from a one-size-fits-all group plan was smooth due to Take Command's user-friendly platform and dedicated support. The new model successfully controlled company healthcare expenses, increased employee satisfaction by granting them choice, and made Snarf's a more competitive employer.
