High Turnover & Constant Hiring

QSR turnover can exceed 130%. Without a fast, mobile-friendly hiring process, you’re constantly behind on staffing your drive-in windows.

Multi-Location Complexity

Managing payroll, schedules, and compliance across 5, 10, or 50+ Sonic units with different state rules is a full-time job on its own.

Compliance & Tax Headaches

Tip credits, minor work permits, ACA eligibility, and state-specific tax rules create compliance risk that can derail your operations.

One Platform. Every Sonic Location.

Netchex connects hiring, onboarding, time tracking, payroll, and benefits into a single system—purpose-built for franchise operators who need speed, accuracy, and scale.

Michael T.

“Switching to Netchex was a game-changer for our franchise group. We used to spend hours reconciling payroll across our locations. Now it runs in minutes, and our managers actually use the system because it’s so easy. The onboarding alone has saved us from so many no-shows on day one.”

“We operate 12 drive-in locations and keeping up with compliance was a nightmare before Netchex. The integrated system handles everything from ACA tracking to new hire reporting automatically. Our HR team is half the size it used to be, and we’re growing faster than ever.”
