They didn't raise pay. They showed it.

One franchisee cut hourly turnover by almost half in six months — by texting every employee what they actually earn after every pay cycle.

01 · The gap

95% never look at a paystub.

Tips, shop bonuses and incentives sit behind a portal login nobody uses. So people compare their base rate to the sign down the road — and leave over a number that was never the whole number.

02 · Payroll

It reads the payroll you already run.

Hours, wages, tips and bonuses come straight from your HRIS and payroll the moment a pay period closes. No export, no spreadsheet, no one on the ops team rekeying anything.

03 · The math

$23.32 on paper. $33.82 in the bank.

Kayla's base rate is the only number she's ever quoted. Conversey adds back everything else she earned — and states it as one hourly figure she can actually compare.

A 45% jump in perceived pay value — and not a cent more on the labor line.

04 · The text

Every employee, every pay cycle.

A personalized summary lands by SMS after each pay run. No app, no login, no email address — which is the whole point, because that's where the 95% went missing.
