Case Study: Quick Service Restaurant “WEX rapid! PayCard is secure, flexible and reliable, and it eliminates the payday drama for both our managers and employees alike. I can’t imagine going back to paper checks. In fact, I can’t believe we waited this long to switch!” Carla Cooper HR Manager Western Restaurants Paperless Made Painless Cooper first heard about WEX rapid! PayCard through favorable referrals from colleagues. “We’d looked into other paycard companies, but none had the overwhelmingly positive references that rapid! did,” she says. Enrollment was quick and painless and occurred in weeks, not months. Cooper was impressed with the high service level. “I’ve been in HR for twenty years, and the WEX rapid! PayCard team was the easiest, most responsive group I’ve worked with on a program roll-out.” Benefits were realized immediately. Western Restaurants shaved administrative time, and more than $50,000 from annual payroll expenses. Also, non-banked employees got new financial freedoms. “My employees love it because they don’t have to wait for their pay,” says Cooper. “And my managers tell me, ‘I can run my store now and focus on customers.’” Solution at Work By switching to WEX rapid!
