We Know What It Takes to Run Steak ‘n Shake Locations

A Steak ‘n Shake franchise blends counter service with table delivery — which means your crew wears multiple hats, your payroll has to handle multiple pay structures, and your scheduling has to account for a hybrid service model that most QSR systems aren’t built for.

Netchex handles multi-role payroll, same-day onboarding, and the scheduling complexity of a hybrid dine-in/drive-thru concept so your managers can focus on the steakburgers and shakes.

Dine-In + Drive-Thru Hybrid

Manage counter crew and table service staff in the same payroll run, accurately.

Multi-Location Payroll

Manage payroll across all your Steak ‘n Shake units from one dashboard, one run.

Multi-Role Pay Structures

Counter, drive-thru, and table crew pay rates handled natively in one payroll system.

Crew Turnover Management

Fast digital onboarding keeps your hybrid-service restaurants fully staffed.

How does Netchex handle the hybrid service model at Steak ‘n Shake?

Netchex manages counter, drive-thru, and table service crew in the same payroll run with separate pay rates and shift tracking for each role — no manual adjustments after every pay period.

How do Steak ‘n Shake operators manage crew turnover across a hybrid-service model?

Same-day digital onboarding gets new counter and table service crew through all paperwork before their first shift. Ineligible-rehire flags keep your records clean as the team cycles.
