Fazoli’s Adds DailyPay Option

Fazoli’s hourly restaurant team members no longer have to wait until pay day to access and spend their earnings.

Fazoli's teamed up with DailyPay, a non-traditional payroll services provider, to allow hourly team members at all company-owned locations to access their earned wages on either the same day or next day. To opt into DailyPay, Fazoli’s associates simply download the App and sign up. There is no cost to enroll and no other charges unless the service is used.

“Many people in the service industry have been severely impacted by the pandemic,” said Fazoli’s Vice President of Human Resources Dave Craig. “At Fazoli’s, we were fortunate to  remain open for business throughout, but many of our team members had family who lost jobs or had hours reduced and found themselves in need of cash to pay bills on time, purchase food or cover medical expenses. Payday loan providers can charge up to 18-22% interest rates for cash advances, but DailyPay enables us to get earned wages to our team members quickly at a fraction of the cost. It’s a simple and convenient way for us to support our Fazoli’s family.”

In just six weeks since launching DailyPay, 42% of Fazoli's eligible team members have enrolled. At the current rate of use, the brand estimates its team members will receive cash advances in the upcoming year totaling $800,000. So far, individuals have been using the service for day-to-day necessities, with 20% of cash advances going toward paying bills, 17% spent on transportation and 15% used on food.
