DailyPay, the leader in On-Demand Pay, has announced its partnership with GoTo Foods, a global developer of multi-channel foodservice brands. With this partnership, DailyPay will serve as the sole preferred On-Demand Pay vendor for GoTo Foods’ franchise network.
The partnership provides GoTo Foods domestic franchisees with a powerful financial wellness benefit for their frontline employees. By leveraging DailyPay, employees at GoTo Foods franchise locations—including iconic quick service restaurant brands such as Auntie Anne’s®, Carvel, Cinnabon®, Jamba®, McAlister’s Deli®, Moe’s Southwest Grill®, and Schlotzsky’s Deli®—can build wealth through greater control over their earned pay.
Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, GoTo Foods is a franchiser and operator of over 7,100 locations across the globe. Certified™ as a Great Place to Work®, GoTo Foods views this partnership as a natural extension of its mission to foster innovation and employee satisfaction.
“Providing best-in-class employee experience is a top priority for GoTo Foods and our community of franchisees,” said Jonathan Burns, Director of Procurement at GoTo Foods. “By partnering with DailyPay, we are giving our team members more control over their earnings, helping us attract and retain the dedicated talent that makes our franchises so successful.”
"We are proud to partner with GoTo Foods, a powerhouse in the foodservice industry," said Phil Mark, Director of Business Development & Partnerships, Franchise, DailyPay. “In today's competitive labor market, franchisees need every advantage to maintain a skilled workforce. By offering DailyPay, GoTo Foods is empowering its franchisees with a modern benefit that helps them become employers of choice in their communities.”
A shift towards modern pay and benefit options in the QSR industry is backed by recent data. A YouGov survey of QSR and fast-casual restaurant employees revealed about half (49%) would be very or somewhat likely to consider leaving their current employer for another employer that offers earned wage access, with 42% saying On-Demand Pay would be extremely or very important when looking for a new job.
