Read their story

  • What does Fourth’s Human Capital Management solution cover?
    • Fourth’s HCM solution manages the full employee lifecycle across three areas: Talent Acquisition (mobile-first ATS, onboarding, and hiring automation for hourly teams), HR & Payroll (payroll processing, tax administration, benefits, and HR outsourcing), and PEO Services (a co-employment model where Fourth takes on payroll, compliance, and HR administration on the operator’s behalf). All three connect to Fourth’s workforce management tools so HR and operational data stay in sync.
  • How is Fourth’s HCM built differently for restaurants?
    • Generic HCM platforms are built for office-based, salaried workforces. Fourth’s HCM is designed specifically for hourly teams in hospitality — where hiring is high-volume, workers are often tipped, schedules are shift-based, and operations span multiple locations. The platform connects directly with HotSchedules scheduling and time and attendance, so there’s no manual syncing between HR and the tools managers use every day.
  • How does Fourth help restaurants hire and onboard faster?
    • Fourth’s ATS and onboarding solution is built for hourly teams — with a mobile-first, no-account-required application process, AI-powered pre-screening, direct-to-interview scheduling, and automated onboarding paperwork. The result is a 90% faster time-to-hire, with new employees completing all required documentation from their phones before day one.
  • What HR and payroll tasks can Fourth handle on our behalf?
    • Fourth’s HR & Payroll solution covers payroll processing and reporting, tax filing and administration, benefits administration, W-2 and garnishment management, direct deposit, on-demand pay via Fuego, and dedicated HR expert support. For operators who want to go further, the PEO model extends this to include workers’ compensation, SUTA management, employee handbooks, and employer practice liability insurance.
  • What is the difference between Fourth’s HR & Payroll and PEO service?
    • HR & Payroll handles payroll processing, tax filing, and HR administration — with dedicated expert support. The PEO goes further through a co-employment arrangement: Fourth becomes a co-employer of your workforce, taking on additional employer responsibilities including workers’ compensation at pooled rates, lower SUTA costs, competitive benefits packages (health, dental, 401k), and $2MM employer practice liability insurance. PEO clients grow 7–9% faster and are 50% less likely to go out of business compared to those that don’t use one.
  • What financial results have restaurants seen from Fourth’s HCM?
    • Sun Pubs saved $40,000 in payroll processing fees in their first six months, with their accounting team freed from payroll administration to focus entirely on finance. More broadly, PEO clients grow 7–9% faster, reduce costs by 27.3%, and lower employee turnover by 10–14% — driven by a combination of reduced HR overhead, better compliance outcomes, and competitive benefits that help attract and retain staff.
  • How does reducing the HR burden on managers improve restaurant operations?
    • Every hour a manager spends on payroll paperwork, onboarding documents, or compliance tracking is an hour away from the floor. Fourth’s HCM is built to remove those administrative tasks from managers entirely — giving them back the time to focus on team development, service quality, and the operational work that drives revenue.
