30,000+ Taco Bell Employees Use Breakroom Daily

"We use Breakroom for everything! If we need a shift covered, we post in Breakroom. If one of the stores is low on food, we have a group chat made specifically for food transfers so we can share stock as needed. Breakroom is also where we make all of our schedule availability and time off requests"

Main Challenges

Before using Breakroom, the main challenges Taco Bell faced included:

  • Finding last minute replacements for no-shows would require RGMs to text and call each employee which takes a lot of time
  • Updated schedules were only available at the store, leading to employees missing their shifts
  • Broadcasting information from corporate to the frontline was tedious and untrackable
  • Managers spent a lot of time communicating important announcements to employees individually

  • Unified communications across owners, managers, and employees so multiple communication methods are no longer needed
  • Separate accounts for each store to keep communications relevant and organized
