Case Study: One0Eight Bistro achieves a 93% reduction in payroll processing time with Toast Payroll & Team Management

One0Eight Bistro Cuts Payroll Processing Time by 93% with Toast Payroll & Team Management

OneOEight Bistro, an upscale New American restaurant in Salt Lake City owned by industry veteran James Dumas, struggled with a fragmented tech stack that forced manual payroll work and constant toggling between systems. With roughly 50 employees and bi-weekly payroll, the restaurant spent up to 8–12 hours on payroll each week and relied on extra HR support to handle corrections and employee questions.

By moving to Toast Payroll & Team Management fully integrated with Toast POS, labor data syncs in real time and onboarding, payroll edits, and staff communications are automated. The change cut payroll processing time by 93% (from hours to about 30 minutes for 50 employees), enabled faster direct deposits and self-service pay portals, reduced HR workload, and freed the owner to focus on guests and the business.
