Paycor’s streamlined HR and Payroll solutions coupled with a flexible Recruiting platform impressed Taste Buds Management



Pandemic Response
Paycor’s immediate product updates in response to new coronavirus legislation helped Michelle stay compliant and keep track of employees. “From a technical standpoint, being able to put someone on furlough in the system was great,” she said. “You created custom codes – that makes a big difference. Before it was either you’re hired or you’re not. Now, I’ll be able to sort these specific dates and it will help me make more informed decisions.”
“We didn’t know how to handle COVID-19 and Paycor very quickly figured it out. As a partner, you definitely stood out as an authority—you navigated the messiness and gave us direction. Whatever you’re doing to keep your staff focused on the client, it’s working. You have a winning formula.”
- Michelle Breath, Director of HR & Training, Taste Buds Management
Prior to Paycor
With 10 restaurants in Louisiana and one in Mississippi, Taste Buds Management found themselves bogged down in administrative HR work as they tried to keep up with the hiring demands of the restaurant industry. They had already started the search for a new HCM solution when their previous provider started reducing their product offerings. While there were several companies competing for Taste Buds’ business, HR Director Michelle Breath said it was the honesty and transparency of Paycor’s sales representative coupled with the user-friendly interface that convinced her Paycor was the right partner moving forward.

“We’ve seen a reduction in admin oversight because the system works easily to move information within the employee life cycle. And the fact that the mobile app gives my managers access to com-plete tasks or input information is even better since they need to be out on the restaurant floor and not in an office on a computer!”
